Robert Guerrero...A Man on a Mission?...or Moving up to fast?

Guerrero is a weird fighter.He's had some amazingly shocking performances in the past where he doesn't even look a top ten rated fighter,and then he's had a few where he turned in some terrific performances in which he looks a completely different fighter.He's incredibly inconsistent,but the guy that I saw pummel Katsidis a few months back in someone that I'd favour against Maidana. Yeah as the poster below you noted, Guerrero has had to deal with his wife's terminal illness for years. I've been a big Guerrero fan since he was back on ESPN. Dude is an extremely talented fighter. Against Casamayor, he didn't want to beat Joel up too much as Joel was his hero. Guerrero is a true talent, he is going to rise up and gain recognition after this fight. I expect him to put on a clinic and have Maidana's face all busted up by the end of the fight.

I had Guerrero over Maidana since it was made. Now I'm on the fence about my pick. Maidana always fights to the level of his opposition. He struggles with Corley and Morales but gives Khan, Ortiz, and Kotelnik all hell. Very interesting fight and the one I'm most looking forward to. Did you pick Coleman to beat Paris?, i can't remember if you picked anybody for that fight. It was a hard fight to pick as both was untested really. Win or lose Maidana is going to give RG hell, i think he stops RG but it is a hard one to call. Can't wait for the fight its going to be a War no doubt.

I agree. The only question is will he win a decision or will he get the stoppage? HA HA you think RG can stop Marcos Maidana, who the f uck has RG stopped?. RG won't get the stoppage, he might win on points but more than likely he is the one who is going to get stopped.

Guerrero will destroy Maidana. He'll make it look easy. Remember this post. I agree. The only question is will he win a decision or will he get the stoppage?

Guerrero will destroy Maidana. He'll make it look easy. Remember this post. Oh I'll remember it don't you worry.:boxing:

I like Maidana via late stoppage.

Guerrero will destroy Maidana. He'll make it look easy. Remember this post.

I can't wait until August 27th, Maidana is going to f uck RG up in a classic fight.

Guerrero seems to be the truth. Maidana is the guy to prove it against, and I expect something shocking out of Guerrero. That unfortunate time with his wife having cancer would set any fighter back, but now he is back on track. To be clear, I'm not counting Maidana out at all. Maidana is one of those fighters that exposes the truth in a man.

he may be but he can't fix his flows overnight. Guerrerro has the height and reach and a great jab to box his ears off. Maidana is taller and has longer reach, he is also much bigger and stronger than Guerrero. Katsidis was able to hurt Guerrero when he got inside. Macros is going to knock Guerrero out.

He has looked really determined and focused in recent fights so he looks like a man on a mission. Whether he will accomplish it is yet to be seen. I love this fight. There will be a lot of action because The Ghost doesn't have a lot of footspeed and he doesn't use too much movement, hence we will see plenty of exchanges. That could also be his downfall. Tough to call but I saw some things in the Katsidis and Escobedo fights which make me think Maidana has a good chance. I'm going with Maidana but not all that confident

The Ghost has good skill, but I don't know about his chin. This is a new weight class for him & Maidana is 1 of the strongest at 140. I'm not just talking in punching power, I'm talking physically. if the Ghost gets past Maidana, he's the real deal.

Maidana is too limited to beat Guerrero IMO. He has a punchers chance, that's all i'm giving him. Anyone care to bet against Guerrero?

The guy I saw against Kats looked like a p4p fighter. The guy i saw against Casamayor (I think) wasn't even close. Got to go with his latest fight. Who looks good against Casamayor?....nobody. Guerrero showed he can box if need be against Casamayor and can pull out win, boxing and jabbing. Everyone knows Guerrero is in a dangerous fight. How about giving him the credit for taking the fight with no tune up. That shows big balls and as a fan I appreciated Ghost fighting the best. We're going to see a real fight come August 27th. Win or lose both fighters got my courage vote!

Guerrero looked good against Katsidis. I liked his counter-punching. I think he is the favorite against Maidana for the WBA title based on their last performances especially. I don't agree that he should be higher on the p4p than Khan if he beats maidana just because he beats him more convincingly. Styles make fights and Khan's always going to have trouble with big punching relentless fighters, how they look head to head is what counts. I think Khan beats him, I would love to see this fight which is why im rooting for Guerrero! :boxing:

I like the Ghost and think he probably should win against Maidana but you can't go to far with that because Maidana is a tough guy and if he can get inside on the Ghost, Guerrero will be in a world of trouble. Plus Guerrero is very much used to being the bigger guy, it is not like he is small at 140 (or should cause much issue in his ability to do work from the outside against Maidana) but it will be an adjustment for him. I thought Guerrero was the best 135 pounder but even there a guy like Rios could have got the better of him, now Maidana and Rios are different but I do think both would be trying to do similar things. It is an interesting fight looking forward to it, I always liked the Ghost so I hope he can pull it out.

I don't think he was mentally all in when his wife was going through her cancer treatment. Now that she's better, I think he's 100% dedicated to the game. I tend to agree with this. It couldn't have been good for his mental state to have his wife fighting with cancer. Still, I'm curious to see how his power transfers up to the junior welterweight division.

I think Maidana is a decent step up from Katsidis. And at a new weight. Last time he fought at 138 he got knockdown and rocked by Casa late. Could be interesting.
