Easton, PA (Tuesday, June 17th, 2014 ) This Saturday, in Carson, California, Robert ?The Ghost? Guerrero ( 31-2-1, 18 KOs ) will be making his return to the squared circle when he takes on Yosihiro Kamegai ( 24-1-1, 21 KOs ) at the Stub Hub Center, a place where some of boxing?s most exciting fights have taken place. Guerrero is coming a little more than a year layoff. The Ghost was last seen on May 4th, 2013 when he took on pound for pound kingpin Floyd Mayweather and lost a unanimous decision.
Since then, Guerrero has not had a fight and even tried to break his promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions. Some even speculated Guerrero was doing so, to throw his name in the drawings of another world great, Manny Pacquiao. The break was unsuccessful, as Golden Boy CEO, Richard Schaefer, who since then has resigned from the company, stated they had worked things out with The Ghost and his manager. Now Guerrero is back and could be in a potential war with Kamegai, as The Stub Hub is famous for producing such fights.
Earlier today Golden Boy held a conference call to promote the bout Saturday night.
Oscar De La Hoya is introduced and comes on call expressing how happy he is to be promoting the card,
?I?m very happy to be on this call with 2 exciting fighters in Robert Guerrero and Yoshihiro ?
?Robert is motivated to be back and excited to showcase his skills again ?
On Robert?s opponent, Oscar said,
?Kamegai is a tough kid, known for a big puncher and come forward fighter ?
?I?m thrilled to be showcasing this tremendous card which will feature Devon Alexander against Jesus Soto Karass in a 10 round fight, also Vasyl Lomachenko vs., Gary Russel Jr. in a 12 round fight for the WBO Featherweight title (126lbs) and the main event everyone is excited about, Robert Guerrero and Yoshihiro Kamegai in a 12 round main event.
The opponent Kamegai is then brought onto the call, thanking Showtime boxing and Golden Boy for giving him the opportunity,
