    Joel Casamayor certainly looked his age tonight against the younger fighter Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero. The fight in itself was boring, but there was one last flash of greatness from the all time Cuban great in the final round, when he sent ‘The Ghost‘ to the canvas off a counter right jab. The effort from Guerrero was lackadaisical, whether it is from distractions from his personal life or adjusting to the weight it’s beyond me. Maybe he was thrown off by his opponent’s southpaw stance, or legendary reputation of the former two division champion. Whatever was the case, Guerrero was able to defeat the former champion.

    After all the grueling rounds put in over the years, every damaging punch sustained, after every soul altering bout, it has taken its toll and I hope Joel Casamayor calls it a career before he suffers any further damage. He has clearly lost his reflexes, speed, stamina, will, and overall skill to continue fighting at a high level.
