By Dan Ambrose: A fight between light middleweights Gabriel Rosado (21-6, 13 KO’s) and Delvin Rodriguez (27-6-3, 15 KO’s) is possible for May sometime on ESPN2, according to Dan Rafael. The fight is discussed, he says.
This is a good fight because both Rosado and Rodriguez are decent fringe level junior middleweight contenders. Neither is good enough to hold down an actual world title right now, but they’re both good gatekeeper type fighters.
Rosado, 27, recently moved up to middleweight to challenger WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin last January and was taken out in the 7th round in a mostly one-sided fight from start to the bloody finish. Rosado only really put out any effort in the 5th round when he landed some nice shots that puffed up Golovkin’s eyes.
