Interesting matchup, Xplosive. Two guys in that category just below legitimate greatness who usually gave value for money. Both won, and lost, a couple of fights here and there which they weren't expected to which makes this pretty hard to call. Chapo didn't test the waters at 140 until the tail end of his career when he had already seen much, much better days, whereas Tszyu lived there his entire career and in a time when fighters were becoming ever-more liberal with their weight gain after the weigh in. Rosario dented and indeed cracked some very good chins at 135, and Tszyu did have that slight vulnerability about him as evidenced by Phillips....But even then, Tszyu took a lot of punishment before finally folding. I'm thinking Tszyu stops him late. Probably just a bit too big and durable for a Rosario moving up in weight.
Cheers mate. Should be contributing more as we move into the late part of the year, had a busy summer.
This sounds like a MM that Tszyu finally wins. I mean he could Vince Phillips him, but he's too small to do it I think in my mind
Rosario never showed much at 140. He was well past his best days when he tried and Tszyu lived at 140. Tszyu via mid rounds KO
