Sanchez: Rosado doesn’t pose any threat to Golovkin; we want to impress HBO

by

golovkin4By Dan Ambrose: Abel Sanchez, the trainer for WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s), doesn’t see light middleweight Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) being any problem for Golovkin whatsoever for their fight on January 19th at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

Sanchez sees this fight as vehicle for Golovkin to impress HBO and boxing fans in the U.S, who are interested in seeing knockout wins. Sanchez doesn’t think Rosado will make it to the 12th round against the hard hitting Golovkin.

Golovkin-Rosado: Gennady looking to win in style on 1/19

golovkin99By Allan Fox: On January 19th, WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) gets his second chance to impress American boxing fans with his fight against Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The fight will be televised on HBO, and it’s going to be an important fight for Golovkin to quickly pick up boxing fans. The 26-year-old Rosado is the younger guy, and he thinks he can beat Golovkin at his own game by slugging it out with him.

To be sure, Rosado does have very good power in his own right, but he’s going to have to be able to take a lot of big shots from Golovkin in order to win the fight. That’s the problem. Golovkin hits so awfully hard, and with his trainer Abel Sanchez, Golovkin has become a dual threat on the outside as well as the inside.

Rosado: I’m going to shock the world by beating Golovkin

by

golovkin312By Dan Ambrose: Junior middleweight contender Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) still insists that he’s going to pull off a huge upset next month when he faces WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) on January 19thon HBO at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Rosado is a huge underdog in this fight, mostly because he’s never beaten anyone in Golovkin’s class before, but also because he’s moving up in weight to take the fight.

Rosado has faced one puncher – Alfredo Angulo – during his six year pro career and he was destroyed by that fighter in only two rounds. Rosado’s promoters haven’t put him in with any big punchers since then and he’s done okay against the non-punchers his promoter has put him in with.

Golovkin to fight Rosado at a catch weight of 158 lbs on 1/19

gggrosado120112(Photo Credit/Will Hart) By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) has graciously agreed to fight his junior middleweight challenger Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) at a catch weight of 158 pounds to accommodate his 154 pound challenger in their fight on January 19th at Madison Square Garden, in New York.

Rosado has been talking about how he’s moving up in weight to take on Golovkin at middleweight, but it’s not quite as impressive now that it’s learned that Rosado will be getting a catch weight handicap for the fight. I’m surprised that Golovkin said yes to it because it’s not as if Rosado is a big name and Golovkin could have found a lot of middleweights that he could have fought without having to give up weight.

Golovkin in easy defense against Rosado on January 19th

by

golovkin45By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) can’t get it any better than this. He’s being matched up against a junior middleweight with a brawling style in Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) on January 19th at the Madison Square Garden, in New York.

The best part of all is that HBO has agreed to televise the fight, so Golovkin gets a soft touch and HBO will show the fight anyway.

This fight will give Golovkin, 5’10”, a great opportunity for him to showcase his power punching because he won’t have to chase Rosado around the ring like he would against some of the other middleweights. Rosado, 26, will make it easy for him by coming straight to him to slug it out.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) will be facing the ideal opponent for him to knockout viciously and look good in the process in facing the slugger Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) on January 19th on HBO at the Madison Square Garden, in New York, New York, USA. Rosado is the perfect opponent for Golovkin because he likes to come forward looking to slug it out.

Rosado: Fighting Golovkin is more important than fighting Canelo

Rosado and Golovkin will be fighting on January 19th at the Madison Square Garden, New York, New York.

Rosado told thaboxingvoice.com “I think it’s a bigger deal [facing Golovkin] than fighting Canelo. Canelo really hasn’t done anything…he hasn’t fought a legit 154 pounder.”

Golovkin vs. Rosado: Gennady needs better opposition than this

Image: Golovkin vs. Rosado: Gennady needs better opposition than thisBy Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) wants to become a big star in the United States but it may be slow going because he’s not getting the top fighters to voluntarily face him. Instead of a big name for his next fight, Golovkin has to settle for Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) to defend his title against on January 19th at Madison Square Garden, in New York, New York, USA.

I don’t really rate Rosado as a true middleweight. He’s been fighting at junior middleweight since he started his career in 2006, and he’ll be stepping up in weight in this fight to take on Golovkin. That’s not the ideal situation, is it? Rosado was blown out in two rounds by Alfredo Angulo just a couple of years ago, and he’s still the same fighter that Angulo destroyed.

Rosado: Golovkin hasn’t met a puncher like me

Rosado, who I don’t consider a big puncher at all, sees himself as being a threat to Golovkin due to his power and experience.
