GUERRERO: "I'm ready for action. I've waited long enough. I'm ready to take my next big step tomorrow night."
SMITH: "I'm back at home on SHOWTIME. This is where it started. I'm like a kid that went off to college and now I am back to try and graduate from ShoBox once again. I love these people and I really miss Nick Charles. I wish he were here to see me, but I know he'll be watching. This one is for him."

cant wait to watch this fight tonight. I did not see any of the other news media covering this
nobody ever smiles except Guerrero. Channel 47 had a good piece on him on tonights news. He is to be commended for all he is doing for the Salisbury kids and his community.
It was a great fight. Fernando definitely had the earlier rounds but it looked like smith took the later rounds. The judges scorecard didnt have the fight as nearly as close as it was. Congrats to Fernando
Guerrero won again!! — No wonder he's the only one smiling.
Great W for Fernando. Keep stepping up and doing what you do Guerrero!
