Guerrero Off ESPN2 Card in Cleveland; Wade Appears on Telecast; Russell Jr. on Undercard!

Late word out of Cleveland OH says that Fernando Guerrero is now off the Friday, February 19 ESPN2 Friday Night Fights card from the Cleveland State University Wolstein Center. UPDATE: Dan Rafael of ESPN.com is reporting that Guerrero suffered an injury to his left hand during his win over Jessie Nicklow. The injury is not seen as very serious but will put Guerrero on the shelf until March or April.

However, two Beltway Boxers are slated to appear on the card and one will be on the telecast. Undefeated Largo, MD middleweight and 2009 BATB Rookie of the Year Dominic Wade (5-0, five KO's) will make his national TV debut opening the telecast against Omar Bell of Atlanta, GA (6-1, four KO's). The bout will also be Wade's first scheduled six-round contest, which could be interesting because Wade has not had to go to the fourth-round so far in his career.

Also, Capitol Heights, MD featherweight Gary Russell, Jr. (6-0, three KO's) is scheduled to be on the non-televised undercard against an opponent to be determined and this is also slated to be Russell's first scheduled six-round encounter.

Digital, with all due respect, who ever reported that Guerrero was even on this ESPN card? All I ever saw was some fight posted on boxrec. Besides that I never heard he was on the card to begin with.

Actually, Dan Rafael mentioned this on ESPN.com. In his prospect watch, he mentioned the bout as well. It was supposted to take place.

From Rafael's Guerrero column:

"Guerrero is scheduled to open 2010 on Feb. 19 on ESPN2 against Jesus Gonzalez."

Anybody see who Lange is fighting. Smart move... those who are clueless will believe it's a fight... check out the record/opponents...http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=113040&cat=boxer. of the guy. Hilarious. A complete stiff. These researchers ought to be on forensic file finding such fighters. Not from the dead...but close. Records don't make a fighter. Who is he kidding other than the ticket buyer here? People in the sport know that this is bull. Not even worth the time to point it out, so that's it - out.
