Rose is so pretty and only.23, she’s also a great fighter, why is she with ugly fat pat Barry he’s 36 and a loser. She must have low self-esteem. I hope she dumps him and gets with a good-looking young man. #RoseNamajunas
Really genius? …many young man out there are really bad, maybe he is giving here what she needs and makes her happy, ever though of that bubble head?
I’m quite surprise since the fighting records of these two warriors, in this case, aren’t indicative of their capabilities and skills in the ring. Rose’s record isn’t as good as the excellent show that she put here. She was far superior than Paige who in my opinion looks like a rookie in this fight. Rose fully dominated the whole fight with incredible and master techniques against to a rival that was incapable to sustain her attacks.
