Salisbury, MD - Since entering the professional ranks in December 2007, Fernando Guerrero has been on a mission.
The dynamic Middleweight sent 13 of his 15 opponents home early, impressing fight fans in various venues across the nation. While it’s been so far so good for Salisbury, MD’s favorite son, Guerrero is ready for what he describes as the beginning of a new chapter.
On Friday, Guerrero, 15-0 (13 KO’s), is faced with two firsts, a ten round contest and title fight. Looking to upend Guerrero’s perfect start is Ossie Duran, 23-7-2 (9 KO’s).
Dubbed as one of boxing’s toughest veterans, Duran dropped razor thin decisions to top rated Junior Middleweights James Kirkland and David Lopez while drawing with the well respected Eromosele Albert. The Paterson, NJ based Ghanaian also holds dominant victories over Jamie Moore and Jonathan Reid.
“Duran is a good, fundamentally sound fighter with a lot of experience”, said Guerrero. “He has a good defense and I haven’t seen him get hit too much but I plan to change that.”
With an opponent in front of him who caused serious problems for some of boxing’s top fighters, Guerrero stepped his training up to not only remain unbeaten but impress his hometown fans for what he recognizes is his toughest challenge to date.
“My camp was great, I went above and beyond what was asked of me.” “By working with Ty Barnett, Dominic Wade and the Peterson Brothers, I truly got the best of every style, so now its time to put everything together!”
The Guerrero-Duran interim NABO Middleweight title fight is the main event of Prize Fight Boxing’s “Title Time”.
Highly touted Lightweight Ty Barnett of Washington, DC returns in the 8 round co-feature against spoiler Juan Santiago, 9-2-1 (6 KO’s), of Denver, CO. Barnett, 16-0-1 (11 KO’s), holds victories over 2000 Olympian Jose Leonardo Cruz as well as contenders Johnnie Edwards (14-2-1) and Pavel Miranda (15-1).
Cruiserweights Alex Guerrero 1-0 of Salisbury, MD and Jackson, TN’s Rodricka Ray 2-3-1 (1 KO) will duke it out for a second time over four rounds. Guerrero pulled out a majority decision over Ray to start his career.
Former amateur sensation Nick Kisner of Ferndale, MD makes his professional debut against Winston-Salem NC’s Richard Gibson 3-1 (2 KO’s) over four rounds at Cruiserweight. Kisner won numerous amateur championships during his storied career.

NABO? they come up with so many belts now days, they really dont cash in. What happen to IBF, WBC and WBO? Thos are the belts that mean something. I'll make up my own belt, WMSBO, Worlds Most Stupidest Belts Organisation. You mention he is going for this belt but in fact, how many have heard of this belt? Also, Dude needs to fight named fighters! Again they are setting him up with a guy that holds a non sence belt that isnt a fighter. Fernando is a good fighter compaired to the fighters hes been up against. Come on Hal, put him up to someone that means something.
