"I'm excited for the opportunity to perform at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys," said Gabriel Rosado. "Fernando Vargas, my trainer and I are on a winning streak and getting better as we continue to work together. We have all the confidence we'll be victorious on September 17. Training camp is going great; despite the change in opponent, we still continue to maintain our focus. Willie Monroe, Jr. is a southpaw as well so the game plan doesn't change much. He's in my way of me gaining a world title so I'm working harder than ever before to get that chance again. This is going to be a great fight for all the fans, I know I am coming in with everything I got and I know Willie Monroe, Jr. will do the same. I would like to thank Golden Boy Promotions, AT&T Stadium, and HBO for having me part of such a big event, I promise all boxing fans, this is the fight to watch on September 17."

"I am happy to be back in championship contention," Willie Monroe, Jr. "Gabriel Rosado is a warrior and this should make a for a great fight.  I am looking forward to this opportunity.  It is a big venue, but I don't care if I am fighting in front of 200 people or 2 million people.  I am always focused and I plan to put on a great performance on September 17."
