Edwin Rosario vs Esteban De Jesus?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Two Puerto Rican lightweights, one from the 70's and one from the 80's. Both with tremendous left hooks.

Who wins?

Would've been an awesome fight. Gotta give Rosario the edge on power alone, whereas De Jesus was the consummate ring general and knew how to use his considerable offensive arsenal. I do think the fight would've probably gone the distance and who knows... maybe set up another famous trilogy.

^ what he said.

Esteban De Jesus points, he was too fast and unless Rosario timed a power punch.

Esteban DeJesus

Esteban would be able to counter-punch Edwin early, and take 4 of the first 5 Rounds.

Then withstand the typical 'hard-punching' middle-Round attack by 'Chapo'.

Thru 9-Rounds, this bout would be 'Even'.

Turning Point > Round 10

Esteban would catch 'Chapo' coming in, and shake him. From that point on, it would be
Esteban with his smart and clever ring-work over the last 6 Rounds to take a solid
15-Round Decision.

Scorecard ....... 9-5-1 in Rounds.

Good job, Billy. Not only a prediction, but a round-by-round prediction as well.

I don't see a problem seeing that scenario, but I don't think the margin would be that wide.
I think even if De Jesus wins, Chapo wins more rounds than just 5.
