Former four time world title challenger Martin Murray (35-4-1, 16 KOs) won a 12 round majority decision victory against former world title challenger Gabriel Rosado (23-11, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. The scoring by 2 of the judges seemed way out of whack to what fight that actually took place tonight. The judges scored the fight 114-114, 119-109 and 116-112. Boxing News 24 scored the fight 7 rounds to 5 for Rosado. Murray’s victory allowed him to keep his WBA Intercontinental middleweight title. I thought Rosado did enough in the last 6 rounds to squeak by with a narrow victory. Rosado went on the attack big time in rounds 9-12, and had Murray covering up to try and keep from getting pummeled. Rosado, 31, was definitely the stronger guy in the last 4 rounds. With the last 4 rounds, along with 3 rounds in the first half of the fight, I had Rosado winning a close decision.
