The Armory in Minneapolis - Brian Mendoza (21-2, 15 KOs) seized his opportunity and delivered a stunning fifth-round KO over former unified world champion Jeison Rosario (23-4-1, 17 KOs) in a performance that Mendoza described as career-altering. The 27-year-old Rosario announced his retirement following the fight.
Thirty-five seconds into the fifth stanza, Mendoza landed a vicious right uppercut that sent Rosario to the canvas for the second time in the fight. Rosario stumbled when attempting to rise, prompting referee Mark Calo-Oy to put a stop to the action.
In just five rounds of work, Mendoza was able to land 25 punches to the susceptible body of Rosario. In the second round, Mendoza landed a left hook to the body, causing Rosario to belatedly drop to a knee. This was the fourth time in Rosario’s career that he was dropped with a body shot.
Tonight’s defeat marked the end of a splendid career for Rosario, who captured the WBA and IBF 154-pound belts by stopping Julian Williams in one of 2020’s biggest upsets.
“I think it’s time to say goodbye,” Rosario said. “I’m not fighting anymore. I’m going to retire. I have accomplished a lot, and it was good, but my career stops here. The most important thing is that I’m still healthy. I feel bad that I couldn’t give the Dominican people the result they hoped for, but I love you all and I thank you for all the support through the years.”

Was never the same after the Charlo fight.

Credit to him though, Banana got the belts in a shootout with J Roc. Nobody can take that from him.

Yeah that magazine is scrambling.

It's understandeable that they are trying to find new readers, nobody buys literature anymore. But don't alienate your core demographic (boxing affiocionados). That Rousey shyt was a slap in the face.

They continue to chase the Japanese bag, i'm not mad at that.

You got two fighters that built themselves up to put their undefeated record on the line in a fight where there’s no title on the line. In addition, these guys are being paid peanuts. What is this? The ufc ? This is not how fights should be made.

This is where PBC needs to put their promoter hats on and figure out how to make this a bigger fight. We got two undefeated fighters. How can we draw in the casual crowd? How can we get the people to pay $120 for the PPV?

Nah it’s like let’s just throw these nyggas on sho box. We can call it the “special edition.”

These guys careers and livelihoods are on the line. They’re risking everything.
