'There's no other better feeling, there's no better fans than right here in Youngstown, nobody in the world,' said Rosenberger. 'I thought the turnout was absolutely fantastic.'
'Feel Good Hollywood' Rosenberger ends his career spanning more than a decade with an impressive 21-10-4 overall record with 11 KO's to his name.
'I'm happy, but I'm sad it's over,' said Rosenberger. 'I plan on promoting shows like this at least three or four times a year, bring boxing back like it used to be.'
