For Zurdo, thats a from drop down from Bivol. Rosado will be too small and too tough for his own good in this fight. He doesn’t have enough punch to keep Zurdo off.
JoJo” Diaz looked flat and 1-deminsional in his last fight. He needed a new trainer to next level.
I respect JoJo as a top lightweight willing to fight Stevens when the others wouldn’t. Gesta has the power of 3s working in his favor so thats were my money goes.
I think Rosado may be at the end of his line in terms of being that ultra-dependable journeyman and I think Zurdo beats him up in this one.
I was kinda hoping that Diaz would go back down to 130. I think he’d have a better chance at making another run down there, but I guess he actually cannot make it anymore.
Zurdo is much too big for Rosado. Nevertheless, respect to Rosado for taking the fight.
Not a good matchup
Big Zurdo picking on a small punching bag, Gabe has always been a tough fighter but time to hang em up
May Zurdo never disappoint again.
Zurdo and his silly fans were let known the hard way what us aficionados already knew when he got school by Bivol, and that he is a weight bully who needs C level fights to look like he belongs in boxing at all.
Rosado is a warrior no doubt but, his best days have been wayyy behind him! No need to continue being a stepping stone/human punching bag and risking his health/life for a few bucks!!!!! Zurdo will pawnd him baddly to get up in the rankings and as for rosado, just another beatdown loss! No need for that, i hope he hangs it after this fight!
