Coming into this fight Melikuziev is the betting favorite to win the bout. The Uzbekistani boxer has a record of 11-1 with 9 KO victories under his belt. Rosado will be the underdog in the fight being a veteran in the sport with over 40 professional bouts in his career. He has a record of 26-16 with fifteen victories coming via KO.

Heading into the rematch, there will be a lot of questions about how each fighter will approach the fight. Melikuziev will likely be looking to avenge his loss.

However, Rosado will be looking to build on his momentum and prove that his first victory was not a fluke. The American must also get back into the win column after suffering defeats in his last three matches. It will be interesting to see how Melikuziev and Rosado perform in their rematch and whether the outcome will be as surprising as their first encounter.
