Robert Guerrero: record, next fight and profile →
WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion Amir Khan believes 2010 ‘Fight of the year’ opponent Marcos Maidana is fortunate that Robert Guerrero is unable to move forward with their August 27th fight date.
A very disappointed Marcos Maidana is hoping Golden Boy Promotions can secure a replacement opponent for August 27th or an alternative date in the near future. Maidana was scheduled to defend his WBA "regular" 140-pound title against Robert Guerrero on August 27th in San Jose, California. Guerrero withdrew on Thursday after suffering a left shoulder injury on Wednesday.
WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan is not completely sold on Robert Guerrero's reported left should injury. It was announced on Thursday that Guerrero suffered a left shoulder injury in training camp and was forced to withdraw from his upcoming fight with Marco Maidana, which was scheduled for August 27th in San Jose, California.

LOS ANGELES - Just a little over two weeks remain before the hottest fight of the summer when WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Marcos "El Chino" Maidana and WBA and WBO Interim Lightweight World Champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero square off in a 12-round battle for Maidana's title on August 27 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. which will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark®. We checked in with Maidana in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Guerrero in Big Bear, Calif. for training camp reports so fight fans can find out what the two boxing stars are up to before the biggest fight of their careers.
In the first part of my interview with former champion Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero, we discussed in-depth his August 27th challenge of Argentinean brute Marcos Maidana. The HBO-televised attraction could pan out to be one of the year’s best fights and I find it interesting that Guerrero, who started his career at 122 pounds, is now around some of the biggest names at 140 and 147 pounds.
The date of August 27th will serve as somewhat of a moment of truth for Robert Guerrero. A former champion at 126 and 130 pounds, Guerrero will find himself in the most dangerous test of his career when he squares off with Argentinean banger Marcos Maidana at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California in a bout that will likely elevate him to new heights or see his career derailed in crushing fashion.
