Review: 2014-06-21, good fight thanks to a great performance by both boxers: Robert Guerrero vs Yoshihiro Kamegai gets three stars. Robert Guerrero entered this fight with a pro boxing record of 31-2-1 (18 knockouts) but is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since May 4, 2013 when he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr (=Mayweather vs Guerrero); ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero has won world titles in four different weight classes.
His opponent, Yoshihiro Kamegai, has a record of 24-1-1 (21 KOs=87%) and he entered as the No.46 welterweight in the world, he suffered his only defeat in 2013 when he faced the WBA world light-Ww champion Johan Perez; after that bout he has fought and won twice. Guerrero vs Kamegai is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

This fight was allot closer than the scores.
Guerrero fought the wrong fight from the opening bell. Only occasionally doing what he should be doing.
Guerrero needs to leave his father and get a real trainer.
He has the ability but it isn’t being utilized.

i only had Guerrero up 2 rds. 4-6 rds up was ridiculous
After Mayweather revealed Guerrero has somewhat less than one dimension, the California fighter must have been relieved to have an opponent who would let him land punches all night.
Kamegi was game, and hit back hard, but I was bored with the same old nose-to-nose stuff for more than a few rounds. It reminded me of the caliber of Ward and Gatti knocking their brains out — fighters who were brave as hell, of course, but paid a heavy price for having no defense or ideas.
Good fight but you could kinda tell it was going the distance .Guerrero didn’t stay aggressive enough to keep Kamegi off of him ,I agree he needs a better trainer a father son team is not good for everyone a change will do him good maybe Garcia or Roach would be good ,Now about Gatti and Ward, thing that made there fights were the knockdowns you never knew when the fight could end so it made it a fun fight to watch ,and i also agree that the fight was much closer than the judges scored it ,overall good tough fight lots of ice will be needed for both camps :)
i think this was more of a phone booth fight like Marciano use to have. Gatti/Ward was just no defense

Kamegai didn’t stand a chance against Guerrero which is why he was picked for the Ghost’s return. The only thing which made the fight more competitive was the Ghost’s busted eye. This is not to say the fight wasn’t an entertaining one. It sure was. But, I think Guerroro chose his opponent as well as the style in which he fought so that he could get the greatest reward (a victory and a fan-pleasing affair that keeps him relevant) with the least amount of risk involved.
Oh, and I did think the score cards were pretty bang on.
U sound like youre in love with Guerrero
Guerrero, technically a better fighter than Kamegai, with no doubts deserves the win. However, in my opinion, he did the wrong fight from the second round until end of the fight given Kamegai the opportunity to knock him down, He should keep the proper distance when fighting with a strong puncher like the Japanese mainly because he is a left handed boxer and precise puncher. He was lucky that Kamegai did not catch him wit a goo punch but his left eye suffer a lot because his wrong approach.
