Rosado & Clottey quotes from ring side

Rosado: “It has been more than a year since I have been in the ring so I did feel a little I the rust but I feel like this fight really helped me shake it off. Clottey is a tough opponent, former world champion, definitely a challenge for me in my first fight back but I think that training with Fernando really helped me. I listened to him, made sure to do what he told me and focused on my hand speed. I think that I delivered an entertaining fight tonight and I was happy with my performance. I have great respect for Joshua Clottey, he is great fighter an African warrior. I am ready for my next big challenge, I would like a shot at Canelo next.”

Fernando Vargas: “Gabriel gave everyone a great performance today. This was our first training camp together and I think we are going to keep growing an make great fights together.”

Clottey: “This was an off night for me. I do think that the fans enjoyed the fight we are both fighters that do not like to back down. However, I don’t feel comfortable at this weight class, I want to go back down to 154 and continue to fight at junior middleweight. I want to thank HBO and Star Boxing for their continual support and faith in me.”
