Lamont Roach defeated Daniel Rosas by second-round TKO on the undercard of Diaz vs. Fortuna at the Banc of California Stadium in Las Angeles, CA. 


It was the power of Roach that made the difference in this scheduled 10-round contest. Roach was the aggremx ssor in the opening round by landing his jab early and then power shots to the body of Rosas. Roach finished the first-round by landing a nice left hook that backed Rosas into the ropes and followed it up with more hard body shots. It was more of the same in round two. Roach saw Rosas was hurt from the body work so he continued to land more shots. The final punch was a left hook to the body that sent Rosas buckling over to cause the referee to stop the contest at 2:14 of the second-round. 

Lamont Roach Jr. improves his record to (21-1-1, 9 KO's) while Daniel Rosas falls to (22-5-1, 14 KO's). 


Lamont Roach Jr:

"I felt strong and confident going into this fight. When I landed that left hook I knew I had him hurt. After I landed that shot I picked it up and didn’t let him get himself together. I landed more shots to get him out of there.

"I have always been cut up. It's the system we have put together with my strength and conditioning coach and doctor for this fight.

"I feel like I am the aggressor even in my past fights but I learned from the Jamel Herring fight that I should have been more aggressive earlier in that fight. I could have got the win." 

"My dad tells me that my left hook is my best punch but I think my straight right hand is my best shot because if I get the chance to land it I will hurt somebody. This fight I saw I hurt him with the a left hook then the body work finished him off."
