Maidana vs. Guerrero on August 27th in San Jose, CA
June 16th, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: Two time world champion Robert Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KO’s) has reportedly signed the contract to face WBA light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KO’s) on August 27th at the HP Pavilion, in San Jose, CA. Maidana has agreed to the contract and will be signing as well for the fight.
Maidana will have a hard time beating Guerrero because he’s a lot better boxer than he is and has an excellent chin. Maidana will have a puncher’s chance of winning this fight but not much more than that. Guerrero probably won’t move as much as Khan did in his narrow 12 round decision win over Maidana last year, but he’s going to be a big problem for the Argentinian because of his work rate. It’s a bad match-up for Maidana, but one he can win if he puts pressure on Guerrero the same way that Orlando Salido in beating him in the past.
The way to beat Guerrero is to walk him down and hit him as hard possible with every punch. This is what Salido did in his win over him and Guerrero looked uncomfortable in that fight. However, Salido is faster than Maidana and a better fighter. Maidana is going to have to be in excellent condition to win this fight.

gonna ko maidana gilroy ca lets go robert
The ghost will take care of business and will kO Maidana or is it Madonna. With every fight the ghost takes on he is getting better and looks stronger. The Bay Area has your back, ghost. Shout out to my cousin Marlene! Hey, Marlene tell your cousin the Ghost to knock him out!
I like Maidana in this fight just because he is the more exciting fighter. Guerrero is tallented but I strongly feel he will hit the canvas multiple times.
“knockdowns are scored 10 – 8.. plaus points are deducted for foul play.. cmon kid!”
————————————
You can’t get above a 10 if you win the round. 12 times 10 = 120.
Im argentinian so my hearth go for maidana, but if you cannot take down an one eye morales… well fighting guerrero is suicide
I am going with Maidana. Great fight will be!! Props to both fighters for fight against the best they can. Khan should learn from them. If you are a champ you should fight the best available.
Agree with @ rah
Guerrero by embarrasment 120-108
How do you get 122 – 108?
Salido beat guerrero but it was changed to a no contest after he tested positive but either way he beat him in scorecards by pressurin him I don’t see how he will handle maidana
Khan would have got slated for fighting guererro. cherry picker it would have been. anyway, guererro all the way, he has the size and his sort of style is a nightmare for maidana. Katsidis is a better brawler than maidana and look what guererro did to him. i see this a one sided fight unless maidana can catch him.
I’m a Maidana fan, but I’m going with the Ghost all the way…… Also, can goldenboy please give us ‘The Ghost’ vs Khan… I would love to see ‘The Ghost’ take out Khan.
Guerrero’s wife was seriously ill for a couple years, which understandably took his focus off being 100% for every fight.
But I understand she’s healthy & he’s been looking good, on a roll.
I going with ‘The Ghost’
Maidana is a great fighter who takes on anybody………Robert Gurrero is one tough guy……..Good luck to both men
GREAT MATCH. GUERRERO BY LATE TKO
i see guerrero winning by about 8 or 9 rounds! may even get the ko! ghost walked through katsidis’ punches and that boy can punch! i dont even give maidana a punchers chance!
Ghost to much of a boxer for maidaina. Going be a great fight though! Ghost a good boxer and maidaina a great brawler. Don’t miss this one people,cause it’s going be fantastic!!!
I like Maidana, like you all say – fights anyone / anywhere
I just think the ghost will have him, he’ll box him for 12 rounds using his ability to try and claim a UD.. but I can still see Maidana taking a KO win
Good match up.
Maidana keep fighting real fighter. I think the ghost beats him. Maidana is too slow. He relies on his power too much.
This will be a good battle!! Guerro looked sharp against Katsidis!!
@ rah. totally agree with you there. same as froch wont duck anyone and fight them any where. boxing need more fighter like maidana and froch.
Toss up.
Love how maidana just fights the best out there regardless.. No cherry picking, no arguin over purses, venues, catchweights and what colour shorts the other is allowed to wear. Just trains hard, gets in and has a battle. I’d rather watch him over khan anyday
Madiana will win guerro has a shaky chin n has been hurt before he also shows the inability to knock his opponents out when thier hurt
this will be a great match up looking forward to this 1
id like maidana to win and khan to win then a rematch between the two fighters would be a good one.
