Damnit I wanted to watch this fight and totally forgot about it last night. I just saw the highlights and it was kind of weird how the ref stepped in and called time out in the 10th, then just said "okay" let them fight for another few seconds and then stopped again. I reckon he thought he heard the ring doctor but wasn't sure.
But lmao @ 0:29, you can hear the referee say "ooohhhh" and then make a face.
Looking forward to watching the full fight when I can. I like Rosado, but his time headlining Main Events is probably done. His eye is going to continue to get busted. I still think he's one of the best gate keepers in boxing, but with his style and skin, I'm not sure he has anything. He's made quite a bit of money the past couple of years so I'm happy for him. He's a very tough man.

Either way, I like Rosado... but he's faced great and very tough competition and has taken a few bad beatings. Like you said, if he continues to fight... he definitely needs some light-touches. He's as tough as they come, though. So much heart.
I did think he beat Love and that was a robbery and I had him beating Quillin before the cut.... so I do believe there's "top" guys out there in the division he can beat. But with his tender skin, I'm not sure if it's going to be able to happen.
Maybe he can move back down to 154 where there's not as many big punchers? IF he stays at 160 and takes a few easy/tuneup fights, I would like to see him fight someone like Sergio Mora. That would be a good matchup. I saw someone mention Rosado-Stevens on ESPN here last night I think.... that would be fantastic as well, on paper, but those are the type of fights I think he should avoid.
Mora-Rosado is solid for him.
