The Big Fernando Guerrero Event On ESPN2 Is Back On Again!



This is a message to inform all of our media professionals that after a long on again off again on again off again roller coaster ride, It has finally been resolved that Fernando Guerrero's opponent will in fact be Gabrial Rosado 10-2 of Philadelphia Pa.

There was a poor line of communication that resulted in the numerous changes and neither camp can be faulted for the confusion. Prizefight promotions attempted to bring Rosado and Fernando together this Sunday to answer questions about this exciting bout, however Rosado is presently training in California for this fight.

Ticket sales are very strong and there are still many great seats left from $15.00 and up. Fernando is presently training hard in Washington D. C. and working with Barry Hunter at Headbangers Gym where he is getting some very high level sparring and training. Fernando will remain in D.C and is not scheduled to make any media appearances until he emerges for the big ESPN event at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center on Fri Feb 6th.

Weigh in will be on Thursday Feb 5th at the Wicomico Civic Center where the two combatants will finally get a chance to see each other face to face. On that evening all the fighters will weigh in and get a chance to size their opponents in person.

Fernando's bout is expected to be an edge of the seat barn burner with Rosado coming off a unanimous decision win over James Moore of New York via Ireland who was 15-0 at the time Guerrero is coming off an 8 round unanimous win over unbeaten Tyrone Watson of Pittsburg Pa.

To purchase tickets visit www.WicomicoCivicCenter.org, visit the Civic Center Box Office (open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm) or call 410-548-4911 to charge by phone.

It's kind of expensive if you are a low wage earner. Thankfully I can pull it off and it's certainly worth it but may come a time I may have to go backwards and bring binoculars. TV's Nothing like what I experienced at his last fight, the crowd was just amazing and very vocal.

In this stinking economy and people worried about having a job and a house even people with money aren't spending. Still almost another month.

Not a bad seat in the house, even at 15 bucks! No field glasses needed.

Almost everyone in the boxing world is stunned when they hear that ticket prices start at $15. Even most small venue shows start tickets at $25, or $30 per. If you go to any show in Bin altimore, general admission are $35 and $40 at the door. This event has a ton of ticket for less than half that amount. Kudos to Prizefight promotion for keeping this affordable in tough times. Think what you can't get with $15. four beers in a bar, two tickets to a movie or dinner for one, at almost any restaurant. This is not only a huge event, that you will have a ball at , it is very affordable.

This is going to be a great fight. And no one should think its a "given" by any means. Rasado beat James and has "set his feet" as a title contender. This is going to be a WAR of a fight.

You could find enough change laying around your house to come see this fight so get on it!
I CAN NOT WAIT!
