  • Rosado Wraps up Training at Wild Card Gym in Hollywood; Ready for Big Test June 1 Against Sechew Powell
    ROSADO WRAPS UP TRAINING AT WILD CARD GYM IN HOLLYWOOD; READY FOR BIG TEST JUNE 1 AGAINST SECHEW POWELL JUNE 1 AT SANDS CASINO BETHLEHEM NBC SPORTS NETWORK "FIGHT NIGHT" Bethlehem, PA-When Gabriel Rosado learned he was fighting Sechew Powell instead of Joel Julio on June 1, he and trainer Billy Briscoe booked themselves a trip to California for three weeks of training at Freddie Roach's famed Wild Card gym in Hollywood. "It's just what I needed," said Rosado (left), who meets Powell for the vacant WBO Inter- Continental Junior Middleweight Title at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem over 12 rounds, or less. "At first I wasn't crazy about fighting a lefty, but the junior middleweight division is full of them so it all turned out for the better. I'm talking about Paul Williams, James Kirkland, Erislandy Lara. These are guys I need to get in there with so fighting Sechew Powell is another step down that road. I'm getting plenty of good work at the Wild Card and I feel good and I'm looking forward to proving myself again. I know a lot of people are skeptical, saying that the last guy I beat (Jesus Soto-Karass) was made to order for me. We'll see if they right or wrong after June 1." The 26-year-old Philadelphian made a career statement Jan. 21 when he tore though Soto-Karass en route to a fifth-round knockout victory at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia. Rosado, who turned pro in 2006 after only 17 amateur fights, has a 19-5 record as a pro with 11 knockouts.

  • Whittaker Looks Forward to Proving Himself in Sept 21 Fight Against Rosado
    WHITTAKER LOOKS FORWARD TO PROVING HIMSELF IN SEPT 21 FIGHT AGAINST ROSADO Georgetown, Cayman Islands - Junior middleweight Charles Whittaker hopes everyone underestimates his chances of beating Gabriel Rosado when the two collide Friday evening, Sept. 21, at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem. The winner of the scheduled 12-round contest will become the No. 1 contender and official mandatory challenger for IBF world champion Cornelius K9 Bundrage. The Whittaker-Rosado bout is one of three to be televised Sept. 21 by the NBC Sports Network Fight Night series. The others: Gabriel Campillo, of Madrid, Spain, vs. Sergey Kovalev, of Chelyabinsk, Russia, 10 rounds, light-heavyweights; Ronald Cruz, of Bethlehem, PA, vs. Antwone Smith, of Miami, FL, 12 rounds, for Cruz' WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Title. The NBCSN broadcast will begin at 9PM ET. Whittaker, 38, of the Cayman Islands, has boxed under the radar during most of his 19-year career. His 38-12-2 record includes 23 knockouts, but he rarely has been in high-profile matches. "This fight means the world to me," Whittaker said. "I have paid my dues and ready to be number one in the world. After this fight I will challenge for the IBF 154 world title." Whittaker gained the No. 2 slot in the IBF ratings due to a pair of 12-round victories in his two most recent fights--over Keenan Collins, of Reading, PA, 14 months ago in the Cayman Islands for the vacant USBA junior middleweight title, and over Giorbis Barthelemy, of Cuba, last November, in Miami, FL. Whittaker has beaten former world-title challenger Billy Lyell and he has lost to some of the best--Troy Rowland, Mikkel Kessler, Shannon Taylor and Hercules Kyvelos.
