Royonta Whitfield gets his shot

I have seen this guy several times now and he is a class act. Decent power and great combination puncher. Movement and speed.

He gets his world title shot next February against Omar Narvaez for the WBO Flyweight Title. What I like about Whitfield here is that he is prepared to go to the champions back yard in Argentina and fight.

Both fighters are unbeaten. I don`t know much about Narvaez, but he will have to be some fighter to stave off Whitfield.

Hope Setanta or soem other channel are showing it.

Not sure about this on a Brit forum but I agree the sentiment :TU:

Whitfield looks fast, skillful and impressive and even though Narvaez is slick and unbeaten he may be prime for a fall. Will Whitfield get a decision in Argentina though? Or even get out alive if he nicks it?
