THUG ROSE

[u/blackupsilon]

Looking back, I really wonder how much a bad weight cut affected JJ. Before I thought it was just an excuse but maybe there was some truth to it.

Rose won the rematch but didn't come close to finishing second time round. Not to mention she doesn't exactly have a history for first round KOs.
