Rozicki vs. Opetaia. Let’s go!
Anyone watch this fight? Just wondering who was winning before the KO? Looked like a good fight on paper.
Yah I watched it. I had rozicki up 7-3
Alante was deducted a point for spitting his mouth guard out on the 5th time. Was Avesta battle
Rozicki must be the most overrated guy in boxing. He has beaten nobody and lost the only time he faced even a fringe contender.
