By T.K. Stewart - Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero was born, raised and still lives in Gilroy, California which is also known as the ‘Garlic Capital of the World.’ In Guerrero’s hometown, they even make garlic ice cream and the joke is that you can usually smell Gilroy before you can see it.
“I was born and raised right here in Gilroy,” says the 25 year-old Guerrero. “I grew up fighting here and everybody around here has seen me fight since I was an amateur growing up. They’ve seen me since the beginning right up until my last title defense and I still walk around town here like a normal guy.”
On Saturday night, Guerrero, a former two-time IBF featherweight titlist, will fight at the HP Pavilion in San Jose which is a quick 30 mile drive up US-101 from the only home he has ever known. Guerrero knows the drive well, but he doesn’t believe in the lyrics to the old song, ‘Do You Know the Way to San Jose’ which was made famous by Dionne Warwick: [details]
