Robert Guerrero wants to prove haters/haters wrong on Saturday

guerrero (2)By Dan Ambrose: The struggling Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) will be trying to turn his career around this Saturday against unbeaten and very lucky Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) at the Stables Center in Los Angeles, California. Guerrero is seen by a lot of fans as the B-side victim in this fight against Garcia, and people doubt that he can win the fight. The Guerrero vs. Garcia fight will be televised on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox.

The two fighters will be facing off for the vacant WBC welterweight title that was recently stripped from Floyd Mayweather Jr. It would be a big feather in Guerrero’s cap if he could beat Garcia and prove the doubters wrong in this fight. It’s unfortunate but, Guerrero has not looked good in his last four fights.

Danny Garcia vs. Robert Guerrero on Saturday at Staples Center, in Los Angeles, CA

Ruben GuerreroBy Dan Ambrose: Ruben Garcia, the trainer/father of #6 WBC Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs), took a shot at #2 WBC Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) this past week in saying he’s not Puerto Rican and he doesn’t know what he is.

Garcia’s parents are Puerto Rican, but he was born in the United States. Garcia and Guerrero will be facing each other this Saturday night on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

“We got a lot of Latinos, Chicanos and all the Mexicanos and all the haters, especially all the haters,” Ruben said to Martin Gallegos. They’re going to find out when we win and they’re going to come from us, bro. All the haters and the doubters. I think they’re [the fans] going for us. This guy [Garcia] doesn’t speak a Latin word or Puerto Rico. Like they say, he’s not a real Puerto Rican. He just says he is but he’s not. I don’t know what he is. We haven’t figured that out yet. He’s got to find it out. It’s going to be his nightmare. He’s going to figure it out quick,” Ruben said.

Robert Guerrero wants to prove his doubters wrong

guerrero12334(Photo credit: Brett Ostrowski / Mario Serrano Team Guerrero) By Dan Ambrose: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) is well aware that his opponent Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) has already predicted a fifth round knockout in their scheduled fight on January 23.

Guerrero will need to show the boxing world that they were wrong to see him as a washed up fighter that was only picked out for the 27-year-old Garcia in order to get a sure thing title. With the way that Guerrero has looked recently in his last four fights, it is hard to argue in his favor for not being an over-the-hill fighter.

Garcia-Guerrero given huge gift by WBC to fight for 147lb title

garcia955By Dan Ambrose: The WBC did Danny Garcia and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) a huge gift by allowing them to fight for their vacant WBC welterweight title on January 23.

On Tuesday of this week, the WBC announced that they were letting the Garcia-Guerrero fight be for the vacant WBC 147lb strap. The move let Guerrero skip over four higher ranking contenders in the WBC rankings.

Here are the fighters that Guerrero was able to skip past to fight for the WBC welterweight title:

Danny Garcia vs. Robert Guerrero for vacant WBC 147lb title

guerrero55By Dan Ambrose: The World Boxing Council has revealed that unbeaten #2 WBC Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) and #6 WBC Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3, 18 KOs) will be fighting for the vacant WBC welterweight [147 pound] title when they face each other on January 23 on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox Sports from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. This WBC stripped Floyd Mayweather Jr. of the WBC 147lb title due to him retiring. This past week, the WBA rejected the idea of having the Garcia-Guerrero fight as a title fight for their WBA “super” welterweight title. However, the WBC didn’t feel the same way and is allowing Garcia and Guerrero to fight for their vacant WBC 147lb title.

In addition to Guerrero and Garcia fighting for the vacant WBC welterweight title, the WBC will make the Jermell Charlo vs. John Jackson fight be for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title. This fight makes more sense because Charlo is ranked #1 by the WBC and Jackson #2.

The WBC’s rankings for 154 is a little mixed up, because you can make an argument that Jackson does not rate a No.2 ranking after his knockout loss to Andy Lee.

Danny Garcia: Less than 2 weeks out for Robert Guerrero fight

garcia455By Dan Ambrose: There is less than two weeks to go before the January 23rd fight between former WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny “Swift” Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) and former two division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox Sports from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Guerrero, 32, surprised a lot of people recently with his comments about him believing in his mind that Mexicans are better at the sport than Puerto Ricans. The comments have put a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Guerrero, whose career looks to be sinking fast with him having lost 2 out of his last 4 fights.

WBA refuses Danny Garcia vs. Robert Guerrero for vacant super title

garcia6655By Dan Ambrose: According to ESPN Deportes, World Boxing Association president Gilberto Mendoza Jr. has turned down a request from Premier Boxing Champions [PBC] for the WBA Super welterweight title to be up for grabs in the Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) vs. Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) fight on January 23rd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

The WBA reportedly is on the verge of dropping Floyd Mayweather Jr. as their “Super World” welterweight champion due to inactivity and him being retired. The WBA is said to be taking Mayweather’s titles at 147 and 154 at the end of January.

It makes sense that the WBA wouldn’t let the winner of the Guerrero vs. Garcia fight be the new “Super World” champion, because neither of them has done a lot lately in the division.

Why doubting Robert Guerrero for Garcia fight is a mistake!

guerrero45By Hector Gonzalez: Robert Guerrero and Danny Garcia will be facing off January 23rd, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. I’m reading all over the internet how Danny Garcia is the heavy favorite against “The Ghost” Guerrero. Truth be told Guerrero is a fading warrior way past his prime. I, however, believe that he has a solid chance against Garcia.

Reading some of the predictions online, I think that fans are focusing on the wrong things; fans are focusing on Guerrero’s loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Keith Thurman, as opposed to basing it on the skill set that each fighter brings to the ring. Guerrero perhaps will never be a champion again. It’s safe to say that he will end his career as a fading journeymen who should consider retiring in the near future. But let’s also keep in mind, to give perspective, Danny Garcia’s skill level is also unclear, especially after his fight with Mauricio Herrera and Lamont Peterson.

guerrero4By Dan Ambrose: 33-year-old Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) doesn’t see his career situation as being in dire shape as he nears his January 23rd fight against unbeaten Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. California. The Garcia-Guerrero fight will be televised on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox.

Guerrero has lost two out of his last four fights, and many fans believe that Guerrero deserved a loss in his last fight against Aaron Martinez last June. If you count that as a defeat, then Guerrero has lost 3 out of his last 4 fights since 2013. Surprisingly, Guerrero believes that his career isn’t going downhill. He thinks it’s about to start going uphill to where it was in the past when he was a top fighter. It’s been five years since Guerrero last held a world title, when he was the IBF super featherweight champion.
