Aydin Rips Andre Berto, Targets Guerrero Rematch
BoxingScene.com caught up with welterweight contender Selcuk Aydin (23-1, 17KOs) who faces Jesus Soto Karass on Saturday in a Showtime televised bout. Aydin was last seen when he lost a spirited contest to Robert Guerrero last summer. He said that after the Soto Karass bout, he would definitely be interested in a rematch. Aydin has changed trainers and feels a rematch would have a much different ending. "Guerrero must fight with me again. I went to his home and fought him. It was a close fight. He talked a lot (leading up to the fight). If he is a strong fighter then he must fight me again. I have changed my life. I now have experience fighting here (in the U.S.) and I changed trainers. I now have David Haye's trainer Adam Booth. The rematch would be different," Aydin stated.

"The Ghost" Crashes The Welterweight Mix With Big Win
By Cliff Rold - Returning from a lengthy layoff due to a shoulder injury, 29-year old former Featherweight and Jr. Lightweight titlist Robert Guerrero (30-1-1, 18 KO) f Gilroy, California, stepped up two classes from his last bout at Lightweight to score a wide but competitive unanimous decision against big punching 28-year old Turkish Welterweight Selcuk Aydin (23-1, 17 KO) of Hamburg, Germany on Saturday night at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. Guerrero added an interim Welterweight title to his trophy case, a distinction he also picked up at Lightweight. Both men came in under the 147 lb. limit, Guerrero at 145 ¾ and Aydin at 146 ½. The referee was Dan Stell. After a tempestuous showdown at the weigh-in, both men were staring daggers into each other as they waited for the opening bell.

Aydin got in with a right early in the final minute and Guerrero took it well. Aydin took a sharp uppercut just as well. Another Aydin right at the thirty-second mark ended in an awkward tie-up.
