By Jake Donovan - Yet another summer flushed down the toilet. That was basically the feeling when it was learned last week that former two-division titlist Robert Guerrero suffered a torn rotator cuff and was forced to withdraw from this weekend’s highly anticipated showdown with Marcos Maidana. The bout was to serve as the main event for HBO’s latest edition of Boxing After Dark, the type of fight reminiscent of what the series what represented when created 15 years ago.

Fans reacted to the news as if we were denied the best fight that could ever be made, and that we’re left with a gaping hole in the boxing schedule. The truth is that neither account is true. In fact, the latter couldn’t be more of an exaggeration. Even if it was, the sport has always proven to reload and come back stronger in the ensuing months. Four years ago, boxing fans went through a wicked drought, one that was forced upon them while watching one major fight after another fall through in leading to a nearly two month stretch absent of significant boxing action. Yet when all was said and done, the back end of 2007 turned out to be one of the greatest stretch runs in recent boxing history.
