It’s official. Golden Boy has confirmed that middleweight Jaime Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs) will put his undefeated record and WBO Intercontinental title on the line against “King” Gabriel Rosado (26-13-1, 15 KOs) on November 13. The bout will be a twelve-rounder at a venue to be named and be streamed by DAZN.
Rosado just took down one of Golden Boy’s best prospects, Bektemir “Bully” Melikuziev, in June and he’s arguably the best opponent Munguia has faced to date. This should be a good fight.
Jaime Munguia: “Rosado is a dangerous fighter with a lot of experience. He is a formidable rival that we have to prepare to be stronger and more intelligent in the ring. He has had the opportunity to fight with great fighters, the best in the middleweight division. I am going to give this fight 100% and as always, give a great fight for fans on November 13.”
Gabriel Rosado: “I’m excited about this fight. It’s a fight in high demand. I respect Munguia as a fighter and I will bring my best and I am confident I will be victorious. My last fight I think will end up being ‘Knockout of the Year,’ and I plan on making this upcoming bout ‘The Fight of the Year.’”
If Rosado can still comfortably make 160, this should be a REALLY fun fight.
I met Gabe Rosado once and he appeared to be a good person. Best of luck, Gabe.
Munguia knows one thing as a fighter; move forward and keep heavy pressure. It may not be the best style for everyone, but in this fight, it will raise the bar in making it entertaining. Gabe tends to fight better when he is pressured.
Fight of the year.
great , so Mungia will now fight.
Unfortunately boxing promoters hate gabe because of his less than perfect record, no doubt he will get robbed on the scorecards as usual. Munguia; padded record.
Rosado by decision. Munguia doesn’t hurt him and won’t outbox him.
Gabe rosado may not have the glossiest of fight records but based on who he has faced it is better than it looks!!
Rooting for Gabe here, the underdog who never seems to get a break.
I like Munguia too, aggressive pressure fighter who’s got his flaws, but you never watch his fights and think you’ve been robbed of action…still, I’d love to see Gabe get the win.
