"Lightning" Harry Joe Yorgey (23-1-1) will be returning to the ring on 7/15/11 at Bally's Casino in Atlantic City, NJ to fight #15 ranked fighter in the IBF - "King" Gabriel Rosado. This Main Event billed fight is an all-out Philly fight with both fighters hungry to break into the top 10 world rankings. Yorgey last fought on the ESPN undercard in Tulsa, OK on 2/25/11 against rugged Mexican Donovan Castaneda and scored a decisive 5th Round KO for his 23rd win. Rosado last fought on 2/26/11 in Atlantic City, NJ against Jamaal Davis. Rosado scored a 12th Round TKO of Davis. The Philly boxing community has been looking for this fight to happen for at least three years - now they get their wish.
This is actually an ok match up between two fairly evenly matched fighters. I think both have lost to Angulo, but I'm not sure. I'd lean towards Rosado in this one but its an even type of fight. Don't know if it will be televised but it has ESPN written all over it.
