[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bethlehem, PA-The six main-event fighters on Friday's big NBC Sports Network met at today's (Wednesday) final press conference at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem.

Headlining the seven-bout card is a 12-round fight for the No. 1 slot in the IBF world junior middleweight rankings between Charles Whittaker, of Georgetown, Cayman Islands, and Gabriel Rosado, of Philadelphia, PA. The winner is guaranteed a shot at current champion Cornelius Bundrage, of Detroit, MI, within six months.

"It's going to be a great fight," said Whittaker, ranked No. 2 by the IBF. "Gabriel is young. I've seen a few of his fights. He comes hard and he comes in shape. He says he is going to be No. 1 and I know I'm going to be No. 1 after Friday. The fans are going to be the recipient of a great fight."

Is this Whittaker guy decent? I don't think very highly of Rosado but a lot of people on here will disagree with me. Im gonna watch him closer Friday.

I've never seen Whitaker fight but Rosado is a very solid fighter. He'd give any top JMW a good fight. He did lose to Angulo but Rosado had a full-time job then. Now, his only job is to be a full-time fighter (and he's won five in a row since then).
