Rumor has it that Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin is facing Gabriel Rosado

[Rantcatrat]

Quillin is my boy but I was kind of dissappointed by this performance. Maybe he took rosado lightly but it shouldnt have lasted 9 rds..

A part of his game I always questioned was his finishing ability. He lands a single shot and sort of admires his work instead of throwing a follow up.

He knocked njkam down like 7 times but a good finisher would ended him after the first couple knockdowns..

I like his style and his punch selections but he still has some work to do..

@FinitoElDinamita - can we agree that those scores were horrible? Rosado was well in that fight. I had it a draw or Rosado down one round at the time the judges stopped the fight. Rosado earned a rematch. Quillin is a top middleweight, but he needs to refine some things before he jumps in the ring with the best of the division. While Rosado is underrated in my opinion, I've seen Kid Choc's best two opponents, Rosado and N'Jikam outbox him for large parts of their fights with him. With that said, Kid Chocolate seems like a pretty good dude, so I mean no disrespect.

Yea one of the scorecards were too wide.. rosado was in the fight for sure but no way it was a draw.

I really think he overlooked rosado though. Every has been beating him so he figured itll be a walk in the park. Anybody who goes into a fight with such mentality is in for a long night regardless of how good they are..

Rosado is tough but I really dont think much of him.

Now personally I think Rosado is underrated. He beat J'Leon Love, even before the ped bust in my opinion and was in the fight close with Quillin. However, with that said, GGG destroyed Rosado. The comparison needs to be made. Part of me says that if GGG destroys Stevens, there won't be too much clamoring for a Quillin-Golovkin fight because the perceived talent gap will be considered wide.

Do you think Quillin's advantages at 160 are really his size and strength? Like Kelly Pavlik had in his earlier years?

I think Quillin did a better job at adjusting and boxing than hes being giving credit for. I didn't see Rosado out boxing him so much as just on the attack. Likewise Rosado fought Golovkin fresh off 154 and was obviously carrying the weight better and had time to live with it Saturday. Golovkin played forward seek and destroy, Quillin did not, the larger result of cuts and tko save for Quillin dropping him but Golovkin ending it sooner was the same.

I agree with the adjustment idea, which is consistent with the idea that Rosado is underrated. Not me necessarily, but many people expected Quillin to blow through Rosado. We didn't see that.

Truth be told, I thought Quillin wouldn't meet that stern of a test. I've seen him hurt and dazzed much worse from guys who don't come close to Golovkin or Quillin. Credit to Rosado, he kept his game plan and came to lay it all out there. Was a good fight.

I was actually impressed by what I saw in Gabriel Rosado's loss to GGG, he didn't seem to have much power and obviously is a bleeder but he moved very well and was starting to land some very smart punches. I haven't seen the Quillin fight but it sounds like Rosado used an entirely different tactic??
