IBF featherweight champ Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (25-1-1, 15 KO’s) stopped challenger Jason Litzau in the 8′th round in Leemore California. Litzau (23-2, 19 KO’s) fought hard but was simply outclassed. Guerrero knocked down Litzau once in the eighth. The gutsy challenger rose off the canvas only to be sent down again by a punishing combination that saw him counted out at 2:25 of the round.

It will be interesting to see who Guerrero faces next? Orlando Salido (29-9-2, 19 KO’s) is the top rated IBF contender. Salido beat Guerrero by decision in late 2006. However, Salido tested positive for the steroid nandrolone after the fight. Salido had a follow-up blood test the day after at LabCorp, a nationally recognised blood lab, and the findings were negative of any steroids.

Rematch? Well first Salido must take out tough 22 year old Austrailan Billy “The Kid” Dib (17-0, 9 KO’s) on March 9′th at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, Cabazon, California. Stay tuned!
