There was no way this fight was going the distance.Swatting a body kick away with apparent ease, Onama threw punches back in quick succession, landing his strikes and damaging Benitez.There was no let-up in Onama's strikes.He just kept throwing and throwing. More of them landed, cleanly, and Benitez's lights were eventually switched off.But even that did not stop Onama, who kept firing until his opponent was in a heap on the canvas.It was finally all over — Onama secured his violent finish.Watch it right here:The two 145-pounders threw a combined 190 shots in little more than four minutes, and even though Benitez edged the significant strikes thrown, ultimately, there was only one moment that mattered — the finish.That is sometimes the way it goes in this unforgiving, cruel, wicked, game of combat.But it is one of the things that makes fight <keyword id="11893855" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports" source="Orion">sports</keyword> so watchable. It is the theater of the unexpected, where danger veers its ugly head every second of every round in every fight.And this was a fight Onama won in so much style that he rightfully bellowed for the $50,000 performance-related bonus check."Fifty G's, baby!" he said. "That's what I do — that's what I'm here for."I can't even see right now," Onama said, of his vision failing to come back. "It was quicky. It was pretty blurry. I can't see shit."Ultimately, the compromised vision did not stop Onama from excelling, as he advanced his pro <keyword id="11922276" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="mma" source="Orion">MMA</keyword> record nine wins (six knockouts and three submissions) against one loss.

For Benitez, the consequence of having his kicks checked were gruesome.Morales called his victory "satisfying."After the bout, he said: "I put more effort into a war like that and I know all the work I've put into this fight and to get a win in this exact moment."All of my fights are action packed and they are never boring," the Venezuelan said. "That's why I'm a real prospect in this division.

He's now excited it's finally here, ready to compete once again, and try to prove critics who give him little to no chance of winning wrong."He has speed and he can punch, but I wouldn't say he has the best defense — that's one of his weaknesses," Rosado said of Jacobs."He does get touched, gets hit. I just feel like that at this point in our career, we both have 13-14 years as professionals. It'll come down to skill, but mainly the will … who really wants it?"Jacobs turned pro in 2007, has strong wins over Caleb Truax, Peter Quillin, and Sergiy Derevyanchenko. He also has three defeats on his ledger, losing to Dmitry Pirog, Gennadiy Golovkin, and Saul Alvarez — <a href="https://www.insider.com/who-are-the-best-pound-for-pound-boxers-in-the-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider's No.1 boxer in the world</a>.On what he could learn from his opponent's losses and look to replicate on fight night, Rosado said: "Every fight is different. In the Canelo and Golovkin fights, they applied really smart pressure on him and made him a little bit uncomfortable."But my style is different. And I think it's just about being smart, keeping the head offline. A lot of head movement."Canelo made him miss a lot. Danny's a quick guy when it comes to throwing one shot, but with combinations he's not a fast guy."<h2>Rosado has been fighting since he was six-years-old</h2><div type="image" title="Daniel Jacobs and Gabriel Rosado" height="1335" width="2000" msid="79447000" hostid="261"></div>Rosado was born in the city that spawned boxing legends 'Smokin' Joe Frazier, Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins, Jersey Joe Walcott, and the "Rocky" movie franchise.He carries that distinctive boxing culture with him today, despite relocating to Los Angeles six years ago. There he opened his own gym called Badlands, a name riffing on the "Badlands" area of North Philadelphia, which is renowned for its <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/kensington-drug-market-gun-violence-homicide-racial-segregation-opioid-crack-20191207.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open-air drug markets and drug-related violence</a>.Puerto Rico —another region that has acted as a conveyor belt for top tier boxers like Wilfredo Benitez, Miguel Cotto, and Felix Trinidad — is also in Rosado's blood."It's the best of both worlds," Rosado said of a teak-tough fusion of two rich fighting communities."Philadelphia is a fighting city," he told us. "We call it boxing headquarters."And fighting is something Rosado has been doing for decades, even going back to when he was a kid.In the late 1980s, Rosado's brawls weren't started over a girl they liked in class or a stolen basketball, but because it was fun and there was pride on the line."I've always been a fighter growing up," said Rosado. "Philly is a tough neighborhood. I started fighting in the first grade all the way to high school — it was just normal to have a fight every day."Sometimes the fights weren't even about not liking each other and were just about being competitive. There's another kid to fight, I think I'm better than him and he thinks he's better than me, so after school we meet up around the corner and handle it. You'd pull up and shake hands after. It was all pretty normal."Rosado's life choices as a youngster would likely have saddened his parents who were pastors at a Philly church before they separated when he was 13, <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/philly/sports/boxing/20131020_Philly_s_Gabriel_Rosado_keeping_the_faith_ahead_of_title_shot.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as reported by The Philadelphia Enquirer</a>, because through those years they were also getting phone calls from disappointed teachers.It appeared to be at odds with a key part of his life — his faith.Though Rosado dropped out of school aged 18, he found his calling in Philadelphia's boxing clubs where he seemed to thrive representing his gym, going to another boxing club to knock out their best guys in hard sparring sessions."You have to have that reputation for being tough in the gym," he said, regarding what epitomizes Philadelphia's boxing culture."There's no such thing as sparring days. It's more like a war, knocking people out in sparring. You go to someone's gym and you better represent. And the man in that gym better make sure they represent for their gym — it's a pride thing."You don't really have too much but respect in the city, and getting off on a top guy from another gym is a big deal."That's why with Philly fighters you see they're tough, don't quit, and they're mean. It's just the way we grew up in the gyms."<h2>Felix Trinidad sparked Rosado's love of boxing, and Mike Tyson cemented it</h2><div type="image" title="Mike Tyson and Felix Trinidad" height="750" width="1000" msid="79447005" hostid="261"></div>Shortly after Rosado began street-fighting as a young kid, Felix 'Tito' Trinidad won his first world championship — the IBF welterweight world title. The Puerto Rican beat Maurico Blocker in the second round of a June 1993 bout.Over the years he added further notable victories to his resume, defeating countryman Hector Camacho, the all-time defensive wizard Pernell Whitaker, and even Oscar de la Hoya.It is no surprise he was a hero to the young Rosado. Trinidad was a pin-up for many Puerto Ricans as a young, fit, and massively-successful man."I was a big Tito Trinidad fan," Rosado said. "I wanted to be like Tito. So, with the street-fighting I was thinking, 'Man, I can fight … I can be like Tito.' So I joined a gym and turned street-fighting into something positive."Insider asked him if he's ever told Trinidad to his face that he was the main reason he got into boxing, perhaps avoiding walking down an alternative path that could have gotten him into trouble."I haven't, but, man … that would be on my bucket list."Trinidad's era as a mind-blowing operator from the 147-pound weight class through to 160 followed Mike Tyson's time, who wrecking-balled his way through the heavyweight scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s.Tyson, too, shaped Rosado's life."He's just a savage but a student of the game," Rosado said. "He knows his boxing like a crazy encyclopedia, and I can relate to a lot of things about Mike Tyson."Tyson is an example of how strong the mind is. When Mike had [his former trainer] Cus D'Amato … he was unstoppable."But when he lost that, he lost that focus, confidence, and things went downhill for him."Mike is a good example of keeping your mental [game] locked in. Because you're unstoppable when you have that and you are on point."I learned a lot from Mike and would put him right there with Tito as far as inspiration."Tyson returns to the ring Saturday with Roy Jones Jr. for an exhibition as highly-anticipated as it is weird, <a href="https://www.insider.com/mike-tyson-roy-jones-behind-the-scenes-fight-causes-tension-2020-11">as the organizers have been at odds with the commission over what the ruleset of the show actually is.</a>The California State Athletic Commission has forbidden both athletes from pursuing a knockout, which the organizers — Triller and League of Legends — is attempting to override by saying the fight can finish early.Rosado laughed at the thought of Tyson and Jones holding back. "Those guys are fighters. Once a fighter, always a fighter."When the moment comes when someone actually gets touched and they start to feel embarrassed, they're going to come out swinging. Mike doesn't even know how to fight soft, he'll rip your head off."He has that switch and when that switch is gone, it's on. There's no telling what's going to happen. Who knows what we're going to see, but I doubt it's going to be soft."<h2>Rosado knows he's the underdog in his fight, but is motivated by what victory would mean</h2><div type="image" title="Daniel Jacobs and Gabriel Rosado boxing" height="1333" width="2000" msid="79447008" hostid="261"></div>Rosado is a +1500 (15/1) underdog heading into Friday night's fight with Jacobs. He is not tipped to have much chance of victory, but knows a win — however unlikely — catapults him into title contention. It would be his own Rocky story."The 168-pound division is loaded with big names, superstars, and a few world champions. I'm excited about it," he said."I'm looking forward to the fight, and I'm not looking past it by getting sidetracked with Canelo, David Benavidez, Caleb Plant, or any of the other champions in the division."Jacobs is a former champion so a win over him is as good as anything else. The fans will be ready to see me in a big fight after as [it would be a win] that puts me right back into title contention."I've been focusing on him for the entire year, and only concentrating on that."A victory would be huge."Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/british-boxing-promoters-are-furious-with-the-uk-government-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British boxing's most powerful people are apoplectic about the UK government's failure to support the sport during a COVID winter</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/dana-white-to-meet-khabib-nurmagomedov-to-discuss-ufc-plans-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UFC boss Dana White says he'll meet with Khabib Nurmagomedov soon to discuss future plans</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/kayla-harrison-was-surprised-her-bloody-mma-bout-wasnt-stopped-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kayla Harrison said she was surprised her bloody MMA bout wasn't stopped and did think: 'This is barbaric'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-and-manny-pacquiao-will-definitely-fight-in-future-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao will 'definitely' fight in the near future, according to their shared manager</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/kubrat-pulev-says-anthony-joshua-lacks-mental-toughness-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kubrat Pulev says Anthony Joshua lacks mental toughness and he'll expose him December 12</a>

There was a straight shot, a kick to the legs, and then hurtful, horrible left hands.

Dybala is the future, and selling him seems a foolish move.</li></ul>Juventus has reportedly but its best player up for sale. And no, it's not Cristiano Ronaldo.Paolo Dybala, 26, was named the <keyword id="81077" type="SPORT" weightage="60" keywordseo="Serie-A">Serie A</keyword> Player of the Year following his performances for Juventus last season, which saw him contribute an impressive 11 goals and 11 assists in 33 top flight games to help The Old Lady lift its ninth straight Scudetto.Playing either in behind Ronaldo or on the wing, the silky Argentine playmaker was the pivotal cog in Maurizio Sarri's technical machine, often proving the key to unlocking opponent's defences.He also came through when it mattered most: scoring a vital winning goal against AC Milan in November; grabbing a game winning pair of assists against AS Roma in December; and five goals in the first five matches after the league resumed in March. Sarri, who has since been fired and replaced by Andrea Pirlo, called him "world class" <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2864451-maurizio-sarri-talks-cristiano-ronaldo-fitness-calls-paulo-dybala-world-class">according to Bleacher Report,</a> while teammate Douglas Costa called him "the best player in Juventus." All that, however, and Dybala has been told he is free to leave Turin this summer, <a href="https://www.90min.com/posts/paulo-dybala-leaving-juventus-terrible-mistake-opinion">according to 90 Minutes.</a><h2>Why would Juventus sell its best player? </h2>Ronaldo has generally always been the focal point of any team he has played for, whether it be Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, or the Portuguese national team. And for good reason.The 35-year-old defied his age again last term, finishing the campaign as Juventus' top scorer with 37 goals in all competitions, a return which means he has now scored an astonishing 755 career goals for club and country, just 12 short of Brazilian legend Pele's record. Despite his goal tally however, Ronaldo wasn't Juventus' MVP, nor the player Sarri built his team around.That was Dybala. "Dybala is a phenomenal player," Sarri said back in June, <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2020/06/10/football/1591822619_827133.html">according to AS.</a> "The point is to make him and Cristiano coexist on the field, because it is not easy to make them play together."To make that happen, Sarri shifted Ronaldo into a centre forward position, away from his natural position out wide. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/solving-the-ronaldo-problem-key-to-sarri-saving-his-job-at/yw3t4qwbfsuv1nq6cbf6e8rpw">According to Goal,</a> it was a move that made Ronaldo extremely unhappy.Earlier in the season after being substituted following a poor performance against AC Milan — in which Dybala scored the winner — Ronaldo walked off the pitch in a tantrum and left the stadium before the final whistle. During a match in June, he was filmed rolling his eyes and shaking his head at Sarri's instructions on the sideline.Unfortunately for Sarri, it's Ronaldo's way, or the high way. He didn't agree, and paid the price. <h2>With Sarri out the way, Ronaldo can again take center stage</h2>Prior to Sarri's replacement, <a href="https://www.insider.com/cristiano-ronaldo-to-stay-with-juventus-wont-join-messi-barcelona-2020-8">rumors were rife that Ronaldo was to leave Juventus for Paris Saint Germain or FC Barcelona, with the club reportedly keen to get him off the wage bill.</a>Within days of Pirlo being named Sarri's replacement however, the rumors were quashed, with sources close to Ronaldo revealing he intends to stay in Turin for the remainder of his contract.With the 35-year-old earning $34 million in wages alone and with two years left on his deal, Juventus' financial eggs are now all in Ronaldo's basket, for better or for worse.It is for that reason Pirlo has been appointed, <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/juventus/story/4156196/juventus-hope-pirlo-can-be-a-ronaldo-whisperer-after-sarri-mess">according to ESPN's Gabriele Marcotti.</a> Similar to the way Zinedine Zidane was tasked making Ronaldo his star at Real Madrid following a tough time under Rafael Benitez, Pirlo is expected to do the same. At Madrid, it was the Gareth Bale who paid the price.This time, it is Dybala who is the fall guy.Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/cristiano-ronaldo-to-stay-with-juventus-wont-join-messi-barcelona-2020-8">Cristiano Ronaldo won't link up with Lionel Messi at Barcelona despite rumors flying, and will instead stay in Italy</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/champions-league-rb-leipzig-beat-atletico-tyler-adams-hits-winner-2020-8">A 21-year-old American scored a late goal to fire Germany's most hated soccer club into the semifinals of the Champions League</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/borussia-dortmund-troll-man-united-jadon-sancho-set-to-stay-2020-8">Borussia Dortmund trolled Manchester United on Twitter after it confirmed star man Jadon Sancho won't be moving to England this summer</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/jesse-lingard-interview-paul-scholes-ibrahimovic-and-lockdown-life-2020-8">Jesse Lingard, Manchester United's forgotten star, discusses using lockdown to reinvigorate his career, and why Paul Scholes is the greatest ever</a>

"I want to fight the Khabibs, the Conors, the Dustin Poiriers of the world and I just have to keep winning so I can actually put myself in the main event and compete with those guys," he said."This is a huge dream of mine, I'm a huge fan and lover of the sport.
