A match nearly one year in the making goes down on Friday, Nov. 27, as former two-time middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs squares off against former two-time middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida, live on DAZN.
The animosity between Jacobs and Rosado came to a fever pitch when both fought on the same card last December. Jacobs was scheduled to headline the event against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and Rosado was scheduled in the swing bout with Humberto Gutierrez Ochoa.
Backstage after the weigh-in, Jacobs and Rosado got into a verbal altercation. They had to be separated and have been talking trash back-and-forth about the other since then.
To Jacobs, this fight is personal. "The Miracle Man" wants to quiet Rosado as he looks to continue the journey of becoming a two-division titleholder.
"Gabe talked his way into this fight, and now it's time to see if he can back it up," Jacobs said in a press release. "He's got a big mouth, and he's been bringing up my name constantly for over a year — but on November 27, the talking stops, and I can't wait to shut him up. My aim is to become a two-weight division world champion in 2021, and that starts with a big win in Florida. After that, I'm ready to step up and fight one of the world champions at 168 pounds."
For Rosado, taking on Jacobs means everything to him as he looks to make one final run at securing a world title shot before he hangs up the gloves.
"I'm really excited for the fight," said Rosado. "There's been a lot of back and forth between me and Jacobs, and for the fight to finally happen, I'm more than ready. I've started training camp with Freddie Roach in LA at Wild Card Boxing, and I'm just looking to put on one hell of a show for the fans. I'm definitely going to bring the fight to Danny, and it's going to be great."
Can Jacobs bottle his disdain for Rosado long enough to secure the victory? Does Rosado pull it off to secure one more world title opportunity?
