Good to see him get right back in the ring, it's what he needs to do. Doesn't matter who the opponent is, just stay active.

Undefeated two-time world champion Joan Guzman is returning to the ring just before Christmas. ******************.com has learned.
Guzman’s first bout since he failed to make weight in a Sept. 13 challenge against WBO, WBA and IBF lightweight champion Nate Campbell will be a 135-pound title elimination bout on Dec. 20.
“Guzman is in the gym and Guzman will weigh in at 135 pounds,” an informed source said Friday.
“Guzman has apologized profusely for what happened in Mississippi, now it’s time to move on.”
The source also pointed out something that was overlooked in the brouhaha about Guzman not fighting Campbell over the weight. More than physician who examined the Dominican Dandy after he came in 3.5 pounds overweight in Biloxi recommended that he not fight due to extreme dehydration.
“People have short memories because Manny Pacquiao came in two pounds overweight for a flyweight title defense against Medgoen Singsurat,” the source said. “Pacman was stripped of the title. The great Pacman, and he is just that, was physically-drained like Guzman was. Pacman fought anyway and got knocked out in three rounds.”
Guzman and trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. have parted ways in an amicable manner.
The source said further details on Guzman’s return will be forthcoming.
