Winky Wright Productions and Thomas Gallagher Promotions, in association with Sal Musemeci’s Final Forum, put together a sensational fight card at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York, on June 4 that was televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights. In the main event, Yusaf Mack, 174 ½, of Philadelphia won a unanimous decision over Brooklyn’s Daniel Judah, 174 ½, the older brother of former world champion Zab Judah. Mack looked devastating early on as he knocked Judah down in the second round with a pulverizing left uppercut. Judah managed to survive and made the bout competitive until the very end. All of the judges scored it 97-92 for Mack, who won the vacant NABA light heavyweight title. In a shocking upset, Gabriel “King†Rosado, 152 ½, of Philadelphia improved his record to 10-2 (6 KOS) by winning an 8 round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Irish sensation James Moore, 15-1 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens. The first two rounds were fought at a torrid pace, with Moore winning them handily. Rosado managed to stun Moore briefly in the fourth round, and knocked him down in the fifth with a punch that looked as if it landed behind Moore’s head. Moore rebounded and gave Rosado as much as he could handle until the end of the bout. <!-- m -->http://www.fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=21624<!-- m -->
Last night was my first time getting a look at Moore and I must say.... he's a bum. He's a poor man's Duddy, as sad as that sounds cuz Duddy is a bum too. But compared to Moore, Duddy is a killer. Moore just sucks. Even Chavez Jr would murder him. Kirkland, and Angulo would both ice him within 2 rounds.
I always found Moore interesting. When he first started out as a pro, I thought he was terrible. Then, midway through his career, he started to look awesome. He was probably one of the stronger fighters I've seen live. Most New York media thought he was going to turn into a title contender at the very least. Then, he went back to looking like he was terrible. He probably became worse than he was when he was 1-0. That's why I didn't care to watch last night, nor was I surprised that he lost.
moore was taken to deep waters and nearly lost to a shot jc candelo in his previous fight. he is no good.
