Bektemir Melikuziev’s career continues to improve after his victory over Gabriel Rosado last weekend. The Uzbek took revenge on the American and also captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) Intercontinental belt at middleweight during the bout held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

For Melikuziev the victory was necessary after Rosado had knocked him out in spectacular fashion in June 2021. It was time for a rematch and he did it with a landslide victory on the cards under a big frame in Sin City.

The Uzbek was cautious and worked very focused against a dangerous opponent. He took advantage of the right moments to attack and thus dominated the American veteran of Puerto Rican descent on the scorecards. 

It was a victory that not only added another number to his tally, but gave him confidence and helped him overcome a major hurdle. In addition, she is getting closer and closer to a big opportunity as she continues to improve in her boxing. 

On the other hand, Rosado announced that he is retiring as a professional boxer after a rather unique career in which he gave great fights to the public and earned the respect and affection of millions of fans around the world. Undoubtedly, a great warrior who left great moments
