Munguia, Rosado quotes

Jaime Munguia: “I didn’t think that Rosado would last that long in the ring. He was very resilient, but I think I showed in the ninth round and on that I was dominating the fight. I am happy we were able to take the victory today. Now, I want to go back to the gym, work on a few things and fight for a world title eliminator or a world championship at 160.”

Gabriel Rosado: “I think I did all I could to win, the scorecards are bullshit. I won the fight.”

  • Rosado has been in many rough matches, he is as tough as they come and doesn’t back down. A true warrior, but getting constant punishment to the head ain’t good for his health! At 35, fighting young cats ain’t helping! I hope he considers retirement in a near future before he ends up like Ali! At thispoint he is just being used as a stepping stone to taje punishment from young hungry prospects!

    • Very, very, very people comprehend that boxing’s physical contact did NOT cause Ali’s post career health erosion. Muhammad being arrogant and NEVER learned, rehearsed and mastered boxing science was the cause of said symptom and health erosion. Additionally, there are many people with Parkinson’s that never boxed. All the sparring and professional bouts he flickered what appeared to resemble a Jab, held excessively and used his body to shield [ career long ]. Descriptively, he is the worst portrait for Boxiana. Today, only simpletons, empty people admire him.

      • Hilário, If you do not learn the basics either because of laziness or arrogance, then you will be hit consistently, which means unnecessary CONTACT, resulting in exactly what ALI went through. Just the fights between Frazier, Norton, and Shavers were enough to scramble anyone’s brains.

        As a result, Ali suffered from pugilistic dementia(punch drunk), categorized under parkinson’s because of the similarities.

        • All you wrote is that you clearly do not have very low reading and comprehension acumen to have understood my factual input. You and others on here write based on ‘emotion and favor.’ I do not. Secondly, you admitted in your very words, you do not comprehend that boxing is a science and how said science protects the healthfulness of the practitioner. Very few in life even reach that point. As boxing insiders, let alone type-fasts on boxing sites. Lastly, Parkinson’s is a completely separate ailment Muhammad suffered. Uneducated folk erroneously conjoin the two.

          • Boxing caused Ali’s health problems and sparring did play a big role. As much as I love boxing its rather foolish to say boxing didn’t damage Ali.

        • CORRECTION;

          • Oh Lord, here we go again. Delusions of grandeur and noncompliance of taking psych-meds. Enough with the know-it-all attitude.

      • “Today, only simpletons, empty people admire him.”
        – Perhaps the most ignorant comment regarding Ali that I have ever read.

  • I like Rosado and saw him put in “some” really good work.
    However, I also saw Munguia put in solid, consistent, crisp multi punch combinations all night long.
    Rosado has been a solid gatekeeper for a while now and will remain it probably for a couple more years.

  • I rooted for Gabe because we are both from Philly. His one-shot moments were few and far in between compared to the combo’s that Mungia was landing all night at will. I realize that it is difficult for a fighter like Gabe to admit defeat, so I’ll do it for him.

  • I think Gabe’s a good guy and a realist. He may not come out and say it publicly, I’d be surprised if he did, but he’ll go home and watch the fight and know to himself that he didn’t win this one. Still the favorite for ko of the year and still pretty much hasn’t lost anything from this fight.

  • Referee should not have taken time out from Rosado’s rest and should not have argued with the boxer and should have permitted him to take the full minute break, as he deserved. Screwed up. Bad!

  • Gabe my man, Love you, but you lost! Would totally hate to see you continually fed to these young studs. Seriously!!!

    • BoriMex, spot on! Gabe is teak tough but he isn’t getting younger and the guys with the belts are younger and getting tougher. It’s about that time. Good career, no regrets. Get out with your health.

    • Most fighters after a tough fight think they did enough to win, it is totally normal. Hagler still thinks he beat Leonard, 40 years later.

  • Rosado finally earned my respect. I always knew he was tough as hell and a real challenge for anyone. He’s always been better than his record would suggest. He’s a throwback to guys who would fight everyone in their division and a glossy record was nice but what counted was how you fought in the ring. What i never liked about him is his sportsmanship or more accurately his lack of sportsmanship. And this fight is a perfect example- just congratulate Jaime, show a little class and thank your fans. But NOPE the scorecards are bullshit. Yeah sure. Ironically it was probably the most accurately scored fight all evening. Plus earlier in the week he completely shit talked Danny Jacobs for no reason. Gabe, you’re a helluva fighter but you’re really low class. It could be why you’re usually on the losing end of close decisions. You got the type of style thats given to close back and forth fights and you’re not exactly a k.o. artist but you shit talk fighters AND judges then wonder why you lose close fights. It shouldn’t matter but it does.

  • good fight might be fight of the year rosado is a real tough fighter munuguia is younger a little faster and throws a lot of combinations

  • Rosado is tough as they come. Munguia just younger stronger. Rosado like all fighter think they won, that is why he is so tough. Hagler still thinks he beat Leonard 40 yrs later.
