Gabriel Rosado – ‘I Won The Fight’ Against Jacobs
Gabriel Rosado (25-13-1, 14 KOs) was on the receiving end of a highly controversial 12 round split loss to Daniel Jacobs (37-3, 30 KOs) on Friday night on DAZN, and he’s not surprisingly hopping mad about it. Rosado absolutely feels like he did enough to get the win.
There were no knockdowns, and neither fighter was hurt, but Rosado appeared to win the fight with his boxing ability and pressure.
Fighting behind closed doors on Friday night at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, Rosado took the fight to Jacobs and made him look old.
Two of the judges didn’t value what Rosado was doing, and they scored it for Jacobs 115-113, 115-113. The third judge that seemed to know what he was doing had Rosado winning 115-113.
This writer had Rosado winning by a 117-111 score, and it shouldn’t have been close. The fact that Rosado dominated the fight should have been reflected by the judges scoring, but it wasn’t.
If Jacobs wants to do the right thing, he’ll do the right thing by giving Rosado a badly needed rematch so that he can clear up the controversy.
