Daniel Jacobs vs. Gabe Rosado - November 27 , 2020

[Ruthless-RKO]

Predictions

Scott Christ

As a boxing fan first and foremost, I really like Gabe Rosado. Here’s a fighter who started his career going 15-5 in his first 20 bouts, which is not usually a recipe for getting yourself into world title fights. He got to a couple. I say and mean it when I say it: Rosado is a better fighter than his 25-12 record indicates. He’s got a level of ability that could easily have him holding a much shinier record if he’d been a protected prospect, if he’d been managed more carefully later, etc. He has fought a lot of good opponents. But the reality is that he’s also lost, generally pretty convincingly, to his best opponents. What’s his best win? Jesus Soto Karass or Sechew Powell in 2012? Kassim Ouma in 2009? A blown-up Joshua Clottey in 2015? It could have been Martin Murray in 2017. It almost was Maciej Sulecki in 2019.

Daniel Jacobs has his flaws as a fighter, doesn’t always go for it when he could, seemed hesitant at times against both Golovkin and Canelo — though he was competitive with both, I always wonder if he might have been able to do more in those fights, or if the level just got the better of him. But Rosado is the type of guy Jacobs beats without a whole lot of trouble. Every fight like this Rosado gets has an elevated chance of being the last one, and he might go for broke and get himself in trouble But I think it goes the distance, and rightly wide on the cards in Jacobs’ favor. Jacobs UD-12

Wil Esco

You know, good on Gabe Rosado for proving that your record doesn’t always mean everything in boxing. I mean, normally any fighter with a dozen losses would never find themselves in a headliner, but Rosado has shown that his courage and passion drives fan enthusiasm, and that’s why he keeps getting opportunities. The only problem for Rosado here is that he’s proven over his career that he has a distinctly clear ceiling, one he’s never been able to really break through no matter how many shots he gets.

Rosado is never really in a bad fight so I expect him to bring some excitement to this fight, but there’s just too much wear and tear on Rosado at this point for me to believe that at age 34, after the countless battles, he’s going to be fresh and skilled enough to beat Jacobs. I’m certainly no big fan of Jacobs’ fighting style, but I think he does enough to take the fight on points. Jacobs UD-12

Patrick L. Stumberg

As laudable as Rosado’s toughness is, the fact remains that it’s failed to get him over the hump, and taking two clean knockdowns from a light puncher in Maciej Sulecki suggests that he’s hit the point of diminishing returns. Even at his best, he’d struggle mightily with a fighter of Jacobs’ caliber, and now you have to question whether he’ll even last the distance.

Jacobs is just too big, too fast, too sharp, and too well-seasoned for Rosado. “King” may be gritter than Gritty, but there’s nothing going for him in this matchup. Jacobs puts him on his butt at least once over 12 dominant rounds. Jacobs UD-12

Lewis Watson

I can’t really see a path to victory for Gabe in this one. The underdog cuts easily, hasn’t got a particularly savvy boxing style and up at super middleweight, it’s hard to envisage him holding the sort of power that is going to trouble a Jacobs that has gone the distance with Canelo and Golovkin. Rosado has 12 defeats against his name and four by the way of stoppage — Jacobs will be looking to make a statement in this contest and the only way he’ll turn heads is by stopping the Philly fighter. Rosado seems pumped for this fight and his emotions may lead him down a path towards a dead end. Jacobs TKO-8

And the staff winner is...

Daniel Jacobs (4-0)!

Shame we not getting these DAZN cards in the UK.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Anyone gonna watch this?

Updates appreciated as usual.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[JxhDel.]

40 - 36 Tagoe vs Menard after the 4th. The African is smooth for sure.

[JxhDel.]

78 - 74 for Tagoe, after the 8th. He should keep the distance and strike cleaner shots, just too much inactivity tonight.

[JxhDel.]

92 - 92 Tagoe. Easy win, showed not too much.

[JxhDel.]

Majidov with that Nagorno-Karabakh shirt, though.

[JxhDel.]

Majidov punishing as always, this time he looked inspired by Azerbaijan's feat against Armenian occupation in Artsakh...

[lazboy]

superficially, maddoxs looks like he is in supreme physical condition but the reality is he has poor aerobic form and has looked exhausted from rd 3. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

[JxhDel.]

Ababiy edges it but Maddox freaking trolled him.

[lazboy]

Not impressed by Ababiy’s boxing or haircut.

[gregregegg]

Early on when his hair is try its alll in his eyes, looks super annoying. apart from that his boxing looked very poor too. no jab, got tired in a 6 rounder, no lefts to the body, nothing to suggest he has a world title in his future.. But he is young and hyped, so he will get opportunity, hopfuly the skills are there and he just didnt show them tonight.

[bobcatbox]

Awkward fight. Yele a lot stronger.

[lazboy]

Skillful performance by the kazac

[JxhDel.]

Yeleussinov rocked but boy, watching Indongo being so shot is sad...

[bobcatbox]

Skillful performance by the kazac

Really nice work. Well-paced. Timing is excellent and, he throws nice combos. Went to the body but nothing superb there. Thought he wasn’t very crisp though. Couldn’t tell if he’s fast or Indongo just old. Wanna see him in there again soon.

Fair game. I want to see him again soon too, hopefully they fast track his career.

[lazboy]

Lot of trash talk in this nonsense fight (Jacobs rosado). I’ve seen this before....predicting a phoned in performance by Rosado. Prove me wrong Rosado.

[JxhDel.]

"Personal" issues... yeah.

Sergio Mora always bragging about how he knocked down Jacobs before getting served by Miracle Man.

[bobcatbox]

Got it 2-0 for Jacobs so far. Not a lot of action yet.

[lazboy]

Something off about Rosados face, it looks puffy. Botox? I’m getting mikey rourke vibes.
