Robert Guerrero Tames Vicious Victor Ortiz, Wins UD

Article by Rick Mohamed

Robert Guerrero outboxed and outfought his opponent, fellow former champion Vicious Victor Ortiz. He defeated him in a unanimous decision 96-94 on all 3 judges’ scorecards in the Co-Main Event of the Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas fight held @ T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.

Robert “Ghost” Guerrero appeared and made his opponent’s chances at winning utterly disappear. In the co-main event, Guerrero (37-6-1, 20 KOs) battled his way to a 10-round unanimous decision over “Vicious” Victor Ortiz (32-7-3, 25 KOs). All three judges scored the bout 96-94.
“It felt good to be back in the ring with fans and I definitely fed off of their energy,” said Guerrero. “I knew this was going to be an all-out war. Victor Ortiz brought the best out of me tonight. It was back and forth action the entire fight and I came out on top as I predicted.”
Much of the action was fought on the inside where Guerrero landed the cleaner shots. After a feel-out opener, Guerrero came alive in the second, stunning Ortiz with a series of power shots.
Round after round, the two former world champions unloaded short shots in close quarters with each refusing to take a backward step. Guerrero capped off his performance with a strong 10th frame, which proved to be the difference on the cards.
“I thought I won. It is what it is,” said Ortiz. “It was a close fight. He didn’t hurt me. A couple times I got caught off balance but that was it. I should have boxed a little better, but hey, he did what he had to do.”
“Now I’m ready to step up and fight anyone they put in front of me,” said Guerrero. “I have a lot left in me and I’m in this sport to win another world title. I dedicate this fight to my family and I give all the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ.”
