In what some considered a do-or-die fight even though he is undefeated, Philadelphia’s Danny Garcia out-pointed Robert Guerrero over 12 rounds to capture the vacant WBC welterweight championship. His triumph headlined the Premier Boxing Champions on Fox card from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and placed him smack dab in the middle of a plethora of super fights in the division.
Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) took a few rounds to get warmed up and figure out the lankier, much more aggressive Guerrero, but when he did, “The Ghost” couldn’t regroup and wound up losing badly toward the end.
