Again at light weight. How does it unfold?

This time Rosario falls victim to his major advantage over Mancini...technique.

Arguello just too correct and hard-hitting. i'm not sure he'd get Rosario out of there but i think Rosario would be backing right off for his life by the late rounds.

Rosario had the habit of slipping left to avoid jabs. Right into Arguello's right hand. Rosario might have put the hurt on Arguello early, but El Flaco Explosive was one tough dude.

Rosario's elbows out stance wouldn't do him well against such a murderous body puncher as Arguello. Too static in the upper-body to avoid the incoming for too long. He'd land his fair share of shots on Arguello, and would use his footwork well against the more flat-footed Alexis for the first few rounds, but eventually would succumb to his faults, which play right into Arguello's strengths. Arguello KO7.
