Robert Guerrero vs. Yoshihiro Kamegai & Devon Alexander vs. Jesus Soto Karass on 6/21 on Showtime

guerrero211By Dan Ambrose: The undercasrd of the June 21st fight between Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Gary Russell Jr. will have two fights that could wind up being far better fights than that one in welterweight Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KO’s) fighting slugger Yoshihiro Kamegai (24-1-1, 21 KO’s) and former two division world champion Devon Alexander (25-2, 14 KO’s) fighting Jesus Soto Karass (28-9-3, 18 KO’s) in a 50/50 fight on Showtime at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Guerrero has done nothing since his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year in May. Golden Boy Promotions were interested in matching Guerrero up with Keith Thurman, but he chose not to take that fight. They had other options for him in addition to Thurman, but Guerrero opted not to take any of those fights. He wanted a rematch against Mayweather, but Mayweather wasn’t interested in fighting him again due to their fight not being a competitive one. Their fight didn’t bring in huge pay-per-view numbers either.

Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero vs. Yoshihiro Kamegai on June 21st on Lomachenko-Russell Jr card

guerrero112By Dan Ambrose: Former two division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KO’s) will finally be returning to the ring on June 21st to fight 31-year-old #7 IBF, #14 WBC Yoshihiro Kamegai (24-1-1, 21 KO’s) at a still to be determined venue on the undercard of the Gary Russell Jr. vs. Vasyl Lomachenko fight. Guerrero, 31, has burned up a year of his career sitting idle after his one-sided 12 round unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year in May.

Guerrero was hoping to get a rematch against Mayweather, but he was ignored by him. The fight was too one-sided for Mayweather to waste time fighting Guerrero, #9 WBO, #11 WBC, a second time, and besides that the pay-per-view numbers weren’t big enough to encourage Mayweather to give Guerrero another shot.
