They may not have expected to be the main event tonight on Showtime, but 25 year-old WBC light welterweight champion Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley and veteran Edner Cherry find themselves in the spotlight thanks to the cancellation of the Nate Campbell-Joan Guzman bout. It's a big opportunity for Cherry, who apparently still delivers furniture to help pay the bills.

Bradley went to England to face Junior Witter on his home turf and knocked him down en route to pulling off a big upset win. The Showtime announce team says he'll have to guard against complacency now that he's the champ.

The introductions are made and we're ready to get down to business.
