Former champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs) wants to stay more active after a stint of inactivity in 2013 and 2014. Later today has goes up against Aron Martinez (19-3-1, 4 KOs) in the headline fight of Premier Boxing Champions on NBC at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Guerrero only fought once in 2013, losing a twelve round decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. He returned a year later and fought a war to gain a decision win over Yoshihiro Kamegai, which also took place at StubHub.
Then Guerrero came back in March, losing a tough decision to WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith Thurman.
Now he makes a quick return to the ring, hoping to continue a very busy schedule on a regular basis.
"I'm excited to get back in the ring. I've trained very hard and my focus is fully on this fight. Saturday afternoon you're going to see a great fight. It's a unique event starting so early. I'll get up, eat and go fight but I'm ready for it," Guerrero said.
"I want to fight often, inactivity is the worst thing for a fighter. I want to fight three-four times per year, every year. I never take another fighter lightly. This is a huge opportunity for Aron Martinez and I'm sure he'll be ready for a real fight.
"Fighting on NBC puts all the eyes on me. I know how big of a platform this is. "StubHub Center is a terrific venue, fans are right on top of you. I love fighting there and I'm not going to leave the fans disappointed."
