Update On Alex Guerrero

Hello Everyone,
Here is some news I wanted to fill you all in on.

Local boxer Alexis Guerrero is back action Saturday night at Wild Bills Casino in Duluth GA. Guerrero will face hard hitting jouneyman Harvey Jolly of Adrian, Michigan. Jolly, who stands 6’4” bring 31 bouts of experience to the ring with a record of 12-18-1, while Gurrero’s record stands at 7-0-1.

“This guy can not be taken lightly, no fighter should be, but Jolly has spoiled undefeated guys before. He’s big and has power so you have to stay focused every second. Sometimes a less that spectacular record can be a relfection of getting matched to deep at the wrong time. I have also seen where guys were just not mentally focused to step up and train hard or were injured and needed money. You look only at a record and you can get fooled. I look at this guy a the real theat that he is and take nothing for granted.” Said Guerrero’s manager/trainer Hal Chernoff.

Guerrero’s last fight was in Harrington back in June when he stopped a game Chris Thomas of Chicago in two rounds.

“I just want to get back in the ring again. There are things I want to acomplish in boxing and I have to be fighting to do it. This is a fight that can lead to better things and more fights. I work full time nights and have to take off to fight. When I train, I get off at 6 and run to the gym, then we get a morning workout in and I go home. Sometimes I am able to get some sleep and other times I have to get my daughter to school, I always get a few hours each day, but not like 8 or 9. If she gets an award or something, I am going to be at her school, so I know I don’t always get the rest I need. Hal is always concerned about how rested I am, as he is how good my workouts are, because it’s connected. Maybe someday I will be able to train and rest like other fighters, but that day is not here now, I have to earn it first. There are so many things in my life that are good that I won’t complain about anything". Said Guerrero.

Guerrero says one of his goals is to bring a fight back to Salisbury. “It seemed like everyone liked it when we fought here and now I would like to help be the one to bring a fight back home. Nothing for a fighter is like fighting in your hometown. I know a lot goes into it, but if I do my job, I know my coach will do all he can to make that happen, but right now I have a job to do in Georgia."
