By Dan Ambrose: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. reportedly is in talks with Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn to possibly sign a 3-fight deal to fight on DAZN, according to BoxAzteca. This move would be Hearn looking to sign a fighter that would appeal to U.S boxing fans to subscribe to his new streaming deal.
By Dan Ambrose: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. says he plans on sharpening up his game by fighting twice before looking to face Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin at super middleweight. That’s the fight the 32-year-old Chavez Jr. says he wants for himself.
By Allan Fox: Gabriel Rosado says he wants Golden Boy Promotions to give him a rematch with former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux. Rosado, 31, says he had an eye injury in round 3 of their fight on December 6, 2014, and that kept him from fighting at the level that he could have. Lemieux ended up stopping Rosado in the 10th round of that fight.
By Sean Jones: Former middleweight title challenger Curtis ‘Cerebral Assassin’ Stevens (29-6, 21 KOs) says he wants to fight WBC junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo, Jermall Charlo and Gabriel Rosado. Stevens, 32, says he’ll take any of those fights.
By Dan Ambrose: Gabriel Rosado (24-11, 14 KOs) did the job on the badly over-matched former high level prospect Glen Tapia (23-5, 15 KOs) last Thursday night in stopping him in the 6th round, and now he wants bigger game in Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Danny Jacobs or David Lemieux for his next fight.
By Jim Dower: Former middleweight world title challenger Gabriel Rosado (24-11, 14 KOs) was too much for Glen “Jersey Boy” Tapia (23-5, 15 KOs) in stopping him in the 6th round on Saturday night at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Scott Gilfoid: Middleweight Gabriel Rosado says that Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) is in a bad situation with him going into the UK to fight IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1-1, 25 KOs) this month on May 27 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Brook is British, so he’ll be fighting in front of a large crowd of supportive English boxing fans on the night.
By Scott Gilfoid: Gabriel Rosado (23-11, 13 KOs) was absolutely furious last Saturday night at finding himself on the receiving end of a 12 round majority decision loss to Martin Murray (35-4-1, 16 KOs) in their middleweight fight at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. Rosado thought he should have gotten the win, and he let the boxing media know about it afterwards. Rosado says he wants a rematch with the 34-year-old Murray.
By Scott Gilfoid: Former four time world title challenger Martin Murray (35-4-1, 16 KOs) won a 12 round majority decision victory against former world title challenger Gabriel Rosado (23-11, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. The scoring by 2 of the judges seemed way out of whack to what fight that actually took place tonight.
By Rob MaClean: In a highly competitive 12 round fight between world title contenders, it was Martin Murray who edged Gabriel Rosado by a majority decision in Liverpool. English judge Terry O’Connor called the fight 114-114, whilst the two Polish judges called the fight 116-112 and 119-109. The 119-109 score should be regarded as an absolute disgrace and had Gabriel Rosado incensed at the final bell, and rightly so.
