The whole thing is ridiculous how he is still a champion.
^^ Exactly, but on the other hand I remember reading the purse bid for this fight was around 80 grand or something;D
Havent seen this guy Dierry Jean*, is he any good? Fights out of Montreal so I'll root for him.
I heard Broner was gonna go down to 140 i could see Golden Boy putting him in against the winner of this one to get his confidence back and he'd have a title again.
I hope we get ESPN over here, this fight sounds interesting. I love ESPN boxing.
It's an ESPN level fight, which is fair enough, should be good but nothing to get too hyped about...ideal for ESPN
Bump. Anyone think Charlo vs Rosado will be a sleeper of a great fight? Suprised Rosado decided to drop back to 154.
There's a good chance of it being fight of the night on either of the big cards. I'm just hoping for one or two good competitive fights tonight and the Showtime card looks to have all the potential.
Seems like Boxing has been on vacation forever and Im really pumped for this week's events.. Last week's card didnt do much for me..Quote:

With that said, Im leaning towards Rosado although this 10 rd bout benefits Charlo more imo.
Jermell Charlo is the lesser of the two brothers and Im not impressed at all.. Anybody who struggles with Demetrius Hopkins can't be that great..
Im really high on Jermall Charlo but Jermell not so much..
Peterson has too much experience for Dean..
The Corona girl on the right would get it.
Agree on that, Jermell lookes to be the follow up of the brothers. Hopkins is a spoiling pedestrian and hard to look good, Jermell fell into his pace. But in his last fight he literally looked to have hit a switch half way through and was ripping combos for finish. Rosado is all make or break here. He can't wait around and let Charlo get established or he will get opened up again. Awesome fight...on paper so far ;DQuote:

Rosado needs to get to work. Charlo picking his spots as long as he stays straight line in 4th..3-1 Charlo
Rosado cut, again, in 5th. 4-1 Charlo
Charlos putting on a clinic. Rosado and his rice paper skin. Tissue like Gatti.
Rosado is excepting his role here, following and not setting up shop too well when he gets in.
Yep. Looks like Broner has finally grown up and doesn't go all 5 yr old when the camera is on him :p. Good to see
Rosado grinds it to take 8th. Nice to see, 6-2 Charlo
I like Rosado. Too bad Charlo is so much better.
I got 98-92 Charlo who showed a cool head and good hands. Rosado heard the knocking of being an official 'opponent' and answered the door
So much for competitive.
Broner is still a prick
News flash: Broner is still a fool.
"Its like Mayweather took a loss too"..........:lolhaha::looroll:
The hev division is sad.
Jennings looks good. Hoping Pederson gets his arse kicked here. Jean can pull it offQuote:

I didn't even realise Peterson was still fighting, I just assumed after he failed his drugs test after the Amir Khan fight no one would want to touch him
Petersons shoulders look like a middleweight. Jean is hurt up bad
Peterson just beating him up now. Jean is trying to pretend he aint hurt, but he aint liking this.
Jean found his way back into the fight
Very happy with the results, I always liked Peterson
Peterson deserved the win, but he's got a long way to go to redeem himself.
