Middleweights Jaime Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs) and “King” Gabriel Rosado (26-13-1, 15 KOs) hosted a virtual press conference Wednesday in anticipation of their November 13 showdown on DAZN at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Jaime Munguia: “Yes, I won a world title at 24. But also, all these years I have gained a lot of experience. I feel like my boxing has improved, and we are ready for bigger challenges. After Rosado, there has been a lot of talk about a fight with DOMANCHENKO, Jacobs, and Golovkin…this is going to be a fun night, a night full of punches. It will be a war. Everyone knows that Mexico vs. Puerto Rico are always great fights.”
Gabe Rosado: “I’m excited, but I am not going to give up the game plan, obviously. I want to do a little bit of everything. I’m going to bang, I’m gonna move, I’m gonna box, and I’m going in to win. I’m not just going to win on the scorecards; I want to get a knockout. I want to keep that momentum going because I think it’s important. These are the kinds of fights where it has to live up to the expectations of the fans. So you have to be a hundred percent, and you gotta be willing to be all in, in the ring. It will go down into the history books. This is one of the fights that they’ll be talking about 20 to 30 years from now.”
Rosado may be right saying this is one of those fights will be talking about for years and years. My gut says Rosado with the upset.
Rosado has a terrible record, but he’s better than his record. Wouldn’t bet against Munguia, especially now that he doesn’t drain down like he used to when making 154.
Unless Rosado Ko”s Mungia, I don’t see the judges giving Gabe the victory. Too much corruption in boxing. You can’t even get a fair scrap anymore without favoritism creeping in. Either the fights are complete mismatches or the non-A side has no chance of winning, other than by knockout. And let’s not even talk about the blatant protection referees show the A-side fighter . It’s almost near impossible for the non- A fighter to get a fair shake. Sometimes I feel like I’m watching WWE instead of professional boxing!
Mayweather was the A-side and he couldnt get a fair shake either.
He certainly will not get any close rounds given to him. Should be a very good fight.
What a ghastly fight. Rosado is tough but remember what GGG did to him, years ago now. It’s like he’s fighting GGG again only many many more miles down the road
Interesting he is only yelling for DOMANCHENKO
