Daud Yordan – a Younger Version of Pacquiao?
By Chris Williams: Perhaps the only fighter to come out shining from this Saturday’s bout in San Jose, California, was the undefeated Daud Yordan (23-0, 17 KOs), who gave super featherweight Robert Guerrero (23-1-1, 16 KOs) all he could handle until a cut above Guerrero’s right eye caused the early stoppage of the fight. The bout was stopped by the ringside doctor after a brief conversation with Guerrero at the side of the ring during which time the referee asked Guerrero if he wanted to continue.
Did Guerrero Quit Against Yordan?
By Chris Williams: I went into Saturday’s super featherweight matchup between former featherweight champion Robert Guerrero (23-1-1, 16 KOs) and his opponent Indonesian Daud Cino Yordan (23-0, 17 KOs) thinking that Guerrero would easily win the fight due to his power, skill, home town advantage and experience. However, the fight turned out to be the exact opposite of what I thought it would be, as Yordan showed incredible speed, excellent power and looked to be the sharper puncher of the two up until the fight was stopped due to a cut over the right eye of Guerrero in the 2nd.
