Robert Guerrero is coming off of a dominant title winning effort over South Africa's Malcolm Klassen. The win makes him a two-division world champion, and one of the top rated super featherweight boxers on the planet. Known as The Ghost, Guerrero was anything but on Saturday night in Houston. He was consistently in Klassen's face, landing solid combinations and dictating the pace and distance of the action. I got the chance to speak with Robert about his performance and his future plans.

Congrats on the big win…Would you say this was the best performance of your career?

RG: So far, I'd have to say yea. I mean, we had a game plan, I executed it and I did a lot of stuff in there I usually don't do.

So have the doubters officially been silenced?

RG: Yea, officially I think the doubters have been shushed. But there's always somebody out there. So you keep on going and stay working hard. More... »

Former lightweight champion Juan " Baby Bull" Diaz, 34 (17) – 2, is finalizing his preparations to meet Paulie Malignaggi, a fight to be televised on HBO on August 22nd. Diaz will be back in Houston, fighting in his hometown for the third straight time. Prior to his first real fight in the junior welterweight division, I spoke to Diaz about his upcoming fight, his career and his future.

We're less than two weeks out from your fight against Paulie Malignaggi, how are you feeling right now?

JD: I'm feeling great. I had a great day of sparring today. I have three guys that came in from out of the state. I'm feeling great and I'm excited to be back here in Houston once again and trying to make it back to the top.

This is your first fight at junior welterweight, at least since you were a newly professional fighter. Were you having trouble making 135 or was this just a matter of taking the best fight that was out there right now?

JD: I wasn't having no problem making the 135 limit, but this was the best fight out there for me. I believe that Paul Malignaggi is not at all taking a step down. I definitely want to fight the best out there even though in my last fight I was not successful, I didn't want to take a tune up fight or a warm up fight. I told my managers, look, I'm young right now, I have all of the energy in the world, so I want to fight the best. More... »

Well, I must say that the Ricky Hatton vs. Paulie Malignaggi fight went largely as I predicted in my post several days ago. The only thing that messed it up some was that Buddy McGirt took it into his own hands to throw in the towel and end the fight for his game fighter in the 11th round. More... »

This weekend on HBO features a showdown of the top two junior welterweights in the world, Ricky Hatton (43 [31 KOs] - 1) and Paulie Malignaggi ( 23 [5 KOs] - 1). Traveling over from the other side of the pond will be Ricky Hatton, looking to make a better showing of himself than his last Las Vegas appearance, a knockout loss to then pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. Paulie Malignaggi is also looking for a win in what is likely the biggest fight of his career.
