BoxingScene.com was advised that undefeated Daud Yordan is dropping back to featherweight and plans to target WBO champion Steven Luevano. He briefly jumped to super featherweight to fight Robert Guerrero last Saturday in San Jose, California. The fight came to a disappointing end when a clash of heads opened a cut above the right eye of Guerrero. After the clash of heads, Guerrero advised the referee that his vision was being affected by the blood pouring down from the cut. A ringside physician took a look and the fight was stopped in the second round.
Yordan tells BoxingScene that he took the fight for the opportunity to showcase his skills on American television [fight was televised on HBO]. He now wants a shot at Luevano's title.
"I was very disappointed that Robert Guerrero could not continue. I think that I would have won if the fight wasn't stopped. I took the opportunity with Guerrero to fight on American television. I am moving back to featherweight and I want to fight Steven Luevano,” Yordan said.
