Former champion Robert 'The Ghost' Guerrero (33-3-1, 18KOs) is ready for another big fight. He returned on Saturday at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. On paper he was expected to win easy, but instead he was forced to dig deep, and survive a fourth round knockdown, to win a ten round split decision over Aron Martinez.
The fight headlined an afternoon show on NBC as part of the Premier Boxing Champions series.
Some felt at ringside that Guerrero may have returned a bit too soon after suffering a bad decision loss at the hands of Keith Thurman in March.
After taking part in only one fight in 2013 and then doing a single fight in 2014, Guerrero wants to continue his busy activity with another ring return sooner than later. And he wants a big name.
"The division is stacked. You have all of these guys coming up. You have [Adrien] Broner, [Amir] Khan is out there, Danny Garcia. You have so many fights out there. You have Marcos Maidana. He's out there. You know it's about making the fghts and making it happen," Guerrero said to BoxingScene.com.
