    I'll take Esto. I think Rosario's style was fundamentally quite flawed. He didn't like having to chase a fighter because he didn't have the footwork and had to set himself, but he didn't like being pressured because he needed the leverage to get his best punches off. I think Rosario is made to follow DeJesus, but is always a good few steps behind.

    I was always impressed with Rosario's foot work. He sort of floated around.

    I agree, but I don't think it's as good as DeJesus', or well equipped to chase fighters down.

    While I agree with those who say Rosario was seriously flawed, I don't agree that DeJesus should be considered a clear favorite here, if even a favorite at all. I think Rosario showed in his first fight with Frankie Randall that he could match the speed and pace of a well-rounded boxer-fighter and get a win on points if need be.
