Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, is reporting that the August 27th bout between two time world champion Robert Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KO’s) and WBA light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KO’s) has been finalized. The bout will be shown on HBO and will be taking place at the HP Pavilion, in San Jose, California. This will be the first fight for the 28-year-old Guerrero, who Golden Boy are very high on and hope he can make a mark in this division. Maidana’s star status has dimmed somewhat after losing to WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan last December by a 12 round decision, and then following that fight up with a narrow 12 round decision over 34-year-old Erik Morales. Although Maidana got the win over Morales, Maidana struggled against a fighter that he should have been able to handily beat if he were the real thing.
