Fernando Guerrero VS. Gabriel Rosado


Ladies & Gentlemen, it doesn't get any better than this! Gabriel Rosado is the guy Fernando was originally supposed to fight in the upcoming ESPN Fight here at the Civic Center in Salisbury. However, the word got out about Fernando's record as well as him fighting again in his Home Town and the fighter backed out immediately. Word was going around that this guy, (Rosado) is very close to a Championship Fight and they didn't want to take the chance of fighting Ferenando Guerrero.

That being said, our guess is that ESPN came back to the table and offered more money so we could ALL see a fantastic fight right here in Salisbury and they took the bait. Fernando will be fighting Gabriel Rosado and if you haven't purchased your tickets you should do so sooner than later.

Salisbury is truly blessed to have a representative such as Fernando Guerrero and Hal Chernoff. They have worked countless hours to provide a safe haven for young children at the Main Street Gym and once they had the opportunity to have enough control over when and where Fernando could fight, they chose Salisbury. It could have just as easily happened in Washington, DC. or even Ocean City. They are bringing it home to you and WE need to show our support.

A Boxer's career only lasts so long and when we've got the opportunity to enjoy Fernando in his prime, well, you get my drift. Let's work together and support this young man. We have readers from UMES, Delaware, PG County, AA County, Virginia, you name it. Come see this guy fight as well as several others and you'll see why they SOLD OUT the last event. Tell everyone your experience from the last fight Folks. One of the biggest things I remember, (besides the brutal ass whooping he gave the other guy) was how loud it was. All I kept thinking was, how are they going to hear this for television? Technology is pretty cool because let me tell you, I saw the fight recently on TV and you could hear the announcers just fine. The other thing I noticed was, there's NOTHING like being there and watching it LIVE!

Here's the information you'll need to purchase your tickets. Believe me, this guy is well worth the trip to see.

I went to the last fight and it was amazing to see how much home town support Fernando had behind him. The crowd was great, the fight was great and i definitely have my tickets for the fight in february. The best thing about the civic center is, there isn't a bad seat in the house!!

Everyone should go b/c this is THEE fight Fernando needs (and we want to see) to be a top contender (that we already know he is all around!) But if he takes out Gabriel Rosado (who is no slub...look on youtube) Fernando will be in very good standing for a real title shot.
Get to this fight and post it's info on any other sites you visit. Lets sell em out AGAIN!
I CAN NOT WAIT~~~!!!

The last fight was unbelieveable. The excitement was contagious and there wasn't a bad seat in the house. It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck! Great fight and even greater fans.
