    Guzman/Larios

    Joan Guzman Sends a Message to Larios

    “Don’t run from the unification bout we agreed on!”



    After a late afternoon training session in Indio, California, W.B.O. Super Bantamweight Champion Joan Guzman had this message for fellow one hundred and twenty-two pound Champion Oscar “El Chololo” Larios.

    “Don’t run from me Chololo, the people have no interest in a re-match with Wayne McCullough! A unification bout between you and I is what the fans want, the fight we agreed to before your unfortunate injury.”

    Juan Carlos Gubi, writer for Boxeo-Latino.com, reported earlier today that W.B.C. Super Bantamweight Champion Oscar Larios’ manager, Jose Reynoso, is considering the possibility of a rematch with Wayne McCullough after Larios rehabilitates his surgically repaired shoulder.

    Gubi’s article went on to note the possibility of Larios’ next opponent, if not McCullough, being the winner of an upcoming bout between veterans Frank Archuleta and Johnny Tapia.

    Said “Little Tyson” Guzman, “McCullough, Archuleta, and Tapia are all fine fighters, but they have had their opportunities. Our time is now Oscar. Don’t run from the unification fight we agreed on! Honor Mexico’s rich boxing tradition and meet me in the ring this summer. A fight between the two of us would be a spectacle for all boxing fans to enjoy.”


    Guzman returns to the ring on April 22nd at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Texas with Francisco Beltran Junior being his scheduled opponent.



    Now that he (Guzman) has done this, what do you think about the prospects of this fight happening in the near future? Also, who do you think would win this matchup?

    I think that Guzman has more than enough power and ability to KO Larios. Larios is very hittable and Guzman can crack at 122. I think Guzman would be better inclined to punish Larios before 8 or 9 because Larios has a high workrate. It's be a good fight while it lasted but I think Guzman would blast out Larios inside of 10.

    Larios has a bit too much ring experience and intelligence for Guzman IMO. He has overcome so much adversity, and remained underrated as a fighter as well. People know who Raul Marquez is, but not Oscar Larios. That is very strange to me, and I think Larios is the best bantam/superbantam weight in the world at this moment. It is going to be extremely had to decisevly take his title from him. He should be able to weather any storm Guzman brings.

      This would be a great fight! I would love to see it come off. I'd pay PPV prices for this one. My money would be on Guzman, but it's a very close matchup.

        I think Guzman's power will pull him through in this fight. Larios has shown some susceptibility in the ring in the past. Remember his first round collapse against Israel Vasquez? But I think his activity and pressure will give the younger Guzman some trouble.

          I just think that Larios is too grizzled and has had a few too many "wars" to handle a young beast like Guzman. I know that Larios is still hungry and he can still buck with the best of em...but Guzman is a monster.

            I like Joan Guzman, but he is starting to get on my nerves. Yes he has all the talent in the world, but what has he actually done execpt waste it?

            He is in no position to call out anyone especially Oscar Larios. Guzman had a chance to make a statement in his last fight against Joe Morales and he showed up so out of shape and put on such a bad performance Showtime decided not to even show air it.

            Guzman needs to beat someone with a pulse before he starts talking. I have been very disapointed in him so far.

              I agree in a sense. He was able to blast out an older Sanchez in 7...but then he comes back by letting Joe Morales hand around for 10 rounds. He's kinda Roying it up right now. What else is he gonna do though? I think if he is impressive against Beltran then Larios should give him a shot. I mean nobody really wants to see a McCullough rematch...as hard as McCullough fought in that fight it was a close but decisive win IMO.

                Guzman fighting Fernando Beltran Jr, At the Dodge arena is one I might go see. That is about 7 miles from my house. In South Texas.
