Dan Rafael: "Featherweight titlist Robert Guerrero (21-1-1, 14 KOs) could defend his title against Jason Litzau (23-01, 19 KOs) in a match of exciting 24-year-olds. Guerrero promoter Dan Goossen and Litzau promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events have been talking and both sides are eager to put it together. But to do so, they need a television outlet. "I've spoken to Kathy, but we know you have to find a spot on television and there are not too many open spots right now," Goossen told ESPN.com. "But it's a fight the networks should like. Litzau is always in a good fight and Guerrero has a good style." Goossen said he's approached Showtime, but it is booked until May. He said he will also talk to HBO."
The co-feature to Paul Williams' next fight wouldn't be a bad slot. This one will be exciting while it lasts - which should be about 2-3 rounds. Litzau's gonna look like a bobblehead doll.
It would certainly be a more interesting fight than Arreola-Tua, though in truth, it should be a co-feature with Andre Ward-Allen Green in the Bay Area. I agree it could be exciting early, but the result shouldn't be in doubt, Guerrero has too much class to lose to Gatti-lite.
It might be worth knocking on the network tv doors. It's a pretty sure thing to be a fan-pleasing fight, should end in a KO, and shouldn't cost too much.
litzau is taller than guerrero - that's going to be a shock to robert who's used to be the taller guy. plus, guerrero's a featherweight isn't he? whereas litzau's a junior light-weight? i wouldn't be so sure litzau doesn't KO guerrero, and early. Litzau is fast too.
