By Francisco Salazar - Robert Guerrero and Yoshihiro Kamegui fought inside a ring at the Stubhub Center in Carson, CA. Based on the action for 12 rounds, the bout could have been held in a bar, a parking lot, or in a backyard and it still would have produced the same fisticuff fireworks.
Back and forth they went, giving the 5,711 boxing fans in attendance and million more watching on television something to enjoy.
But the outcome was never in doubt, despite Guerrero having to deal with an eye that was shut and a cut as well.
Guerrero won a 12 round unanimous decision over Kamegai, a win where Guerrero may or may not have answered his detractors.
Guerrero had not fought since May of last year, when he lost a one-sided unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, NV. Part of the layoff could be attributed to the lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions, his promoter. He had sued Golden Boy Promotions to get out of his contract, but was unsuccessful.
Kamegai had won his two previous fights after losing a 10 round unanimous decision to Johan Perez in June of last year.
From the opening bell, it was obvious this fight was not going to be a tune-up or a showcase fight for Guerrero. Kamegai came to fight and pressed the action in the first couple of rounds. Guerrero landed the telling blows from the beginning, but ate one punch after landing two or three of his own. [Click Here To Read More]
