Rossitto's gotten knocked out in his four losses, including
a second-round KO loss to David Haye in 2005. He also lost in the
second round to Alexander Gurov in 2004, but boxrec notes that an
injury occurred, so I don't know whether he was getting dominated at
the time. In terms of value, I do like how he has 20 KOs in his
34 wins, while Fragomeni has just 10 KOs in 22 fights. Also,
Rossitto is 31, while Fragomeni is 37; but it does appear that
Fragomeni began his pro boxing career in 2001, so he's not all that old
in boxing years. Fragomeni's only loss came to Haye, but he
lasted nine rounds and in the process actually took a couple of rounds
on the scorecards.
Because Rossitto has some KO power, there's the possibility that he
could surprise Fragomeni with something. Also, Rossitto is 6'2",
while Fragomeni is 5'9". Even so, I think that Fragomeni takes
this one by decision. Fragomeni competed well the only time when
he stepped up his competition by fighting Haye, while Rossitto has
gotten knocked out every time he's tried to step up (also KO'd by
Pietro Aurino and Wlodarczyk). Rossitto did fight to a draw with
Rudiger May, so that kind of gives me a read on his relative
ability.
