Guerrero looked pretty good considering he jumped two weight classes and engaged in a super physical war with a very rugged welterweight.He took some big shots and kept busy.He faded in the later round and i would probably give round 12 to Aydin,He was also lacking power.All round though i was impressed taking into account the move up in weight.He definitely needs a few more fights to find his welterweight feet but i think he will do well at 147

I was walking out the door last night as the Guerrero fight started...what happened???

UD 12. Pretty impressive for Guerreo, although I think opting for a style which is less aggressive and highlights his defense would be more adviable at the higher weight.

Guerror-Bradley is a great fight. Hope it gets made.

I have genuine concern for Guerrero at this weight. Maybe he can grow into it but based on what i saw Saturday night, he got by on skill and heart against a guy who had power but didn't have the kind of speed and movement that could capitalize on Robert's vulnerability. I think he should go down one weight class but i understand he needs to make the big money at this point. After the fight he commented on the fact that he had worked construction to help make ends meet so it is obvious that what money he has made fighting has been drained by his wife's medical expenses. There certainly wouldn't be any harm in getting a big money fight, being defeated and then moving back down in order to fill his bank account but god knows Floyd would kill him. I think Bradley would be more feasible as Binnie points out but i don't like his chances in that fight either but it would be competitive. I still don't think Floyd is possible because Robert is a big deal in California but i'm not sure he is anywhere else. He is not going to go to Madison Square Garden and sell the kind of tickets he did Saturday. There is not really much in it for Floyd but a belt that he has already claimed and given up.

In other news, Orlando Solido won Saturday night so it appears his next fight will be against undefeated Mikey Garcia. If that fight happens it will be a war for as long as it lasts.

A couple of fights at 147 and some serious conditioning training and I can seem him growing into it. He's never going to beat at Mayweather, and personally I'd keep him away from big guys like Ortiz, but he could make some progress in the 147 division.

Bradley, Berto, Khan (if he moves up).......but some easier fights first.

I pray this doesn't happen and it is somewhat sickening to think about.

You be the judge.

Man i hope that doesnt go a head

[binnie]

Do these guys really need the money?

Seriously, I just don't get this. Much as I don't like Bowe as a person and think that he hugely underperformed as a boxer, I seriously worry about his wellbeing if this does go ahead.

I was sort of hoping he'd walk right out the front door......

and get run over by a fucking truck.

[binnie]

Don't like the guy; but I admire the boxer.

Hope he gets back in the ring soon.

Me too. Can't speak to Floyd, but Roger is cool peeps.

[vandeleur]

I have never met either of the mayweathers but for a time I was on twitter and rogers tweets about paq were bad shit they and his comments about roach's disability were in poor taste to say the least..
Insulting comments about someone's race and some one else's physical disabilities ... People can draw their own

"Bowe, also 44, has also refused to give up the ghost; stating a number of times recently that he could beat the Klitschkos if given enough time to get into shape."

Yeah I do think he is having trouble speaking, what he meant to say was "I could beat the Klitschkos if given a motherfucking time machine."
