By Sevak Sarkisian: On October 26th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City NJ, Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (29-0 21 KO’s) will defend his WBO middleweight title against contender Gabe “The King” Rosado (21-6 13 KO’s). The bout will be televised live on Showtime and will be part of the Hopkins/Murat undercard.
In my humble opinion, this match-up has great potential to steal the show on this card. Even though Quillin is the defending WBO middleweight world champion, Gabe Rosado looks to be his stiffest test to date. Rosado has suffered his share of losses but he holds quality wins over Kassim Ouma, Shechew Powell and Saul Roman. Rosado’s first fight at middleweight took place almost a year ago against reigning WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
