(Photo credit/K2) By Dan Ambrose: Gabriel Rosado (21-5, 13 KO’s) will be moving up in weight this Saturday night to fight for the WBA middleweight world title against Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO’s) on HBO at Madison Square Garden in New York. Rosado is the undercard but he’s convinced he’ll stop the Kazakhstan born Golovkin in the 9th round and he doesn’t see it even be close. Rosado has seen a lot of Golovkin and he feels it’s an easy fight for him.
Speaking with Greg Leon at boxingtalk.com, Rosado said “I want to dominate him. I think we can get a stoppage in the later rounds, about the 9th round.”
Perhaps more boxing fans would buy into what Rosado is saying if he’d at least say it was going to be a competitive fight and that he’d maybe grit out a decision or try to wear Golovkin down to stop him late.
