Rosado vs Melikuziev FULL FIGHT: April 22, 2023 | PBC on Showtime PPV

Super middleweight contender (12-1, 9 KOs) avenge the only loss of his career as he battered veteran Gabriel Rosado (26-17-1, 15 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision victory. Melikuziev cruised on the judges’ cards, winning by the tally of 99-91 three times.
“In the first fight against Rosado, I underestimated my opponent,” said Melikuziev. “This time, we put the work in during camp. We went through everything. This time, the goal was to showcase my skills, box and punish him as much as possible too.”
In their first meeting in 2021, Rosado stopped the then unbeaten Melikuziev in his tracks with a sensational one-punch KO. In the rematch, Melikuziev was able to avoid a repeat misstep and controlled the bout throughout, out landing Rosado in every round.
"I tried, but I was a step behind,” said Rosado. “’Father Time’, eighteen years as a pro, but I was game. I walked to him, I boxed him, I tried everything but I was a step too slow. " was a split-second behind. He's fresh, he's young and I'm happy for him. I knocked him out bad in the first fight and he made adjustments.”
Melikuziev appeared to have his opponent hurt in round five when a straight left wobbled Rosado and nearly sent him into the ropes. Rosado had more success in the second half of the fight, but took too much punishment on his way to attempting to close the distance.
The 27-year-old from Uzbekistan held a wide margin on power punches landed (129-31) and held Rosado to just a 17% connect rate. After the fight, Melikuziev relished in making up for his lone defeat, while Rosado stated his intentions on retiring after a long career.
“This was the fight that I wanted,” said Melikuziev. “This is the fight that I felt like I made a mistake in the first one, and I had this opportunity for revenge on such a big card. It’s a pleasure for me.”
"I don't make any excuses,” said Rosado. “I was ready. Now it's time to wrap it up and give my knowledge to younger fighters with management and training. I want to share my experience with them, and maybe do some more commentating."

Great fight 💪🏽

[@Bryan355_]

He wasn't fighting toe to toe he was just depending on the right hand to land like the first fight

[@deathmatchhh]

shame what happened in the rematch but the first fight was wild

[@samed5678]

Gabriel??!

[@edwindelacruz7357]

I think Gabe Rosado has nothing to prove as he has been into tough fights.If boxing is a source of financial income so be it but he should be very careful!

[@anabella3705]

I love Pacquiao fight💪🏻💪🏻

Tardaron mucho en hacer la revancha eso era pa hacer la revancha el mismo año

Rosado was washed up in the rematch sadly.

[@nyendonbanks592]

dude he was washed in the first as well. he just had that one very well timed moment, the rest of the fight before hand looked just like this. no disrespect to the warrior

[@Jboxing1]

@@nyendonbanks592 he had a fight against Danny jacobs and got robbed before the first fight. Rosado one of the most robbed fighters of the decade tbh. So he wasn’t washed up

[@whatname4613]

​@@Jboxing1 who else did he get robbed against other than Jacobs,you're just exaggerating.

[@Jboxing1]

@@whatname4613 got robbed against love and Murray and arias and he was winning that world title fight against quillin until that dumb eye cut stoppage in the 10th. You’re just a casual.

Run the trilogy.
