My first analysis of this fight is how quick can you get?!
Originally aired on November 3rd from Tucson, AZ on Showtime. A 12 round fight for the IBF Featherweight Championship. Guerrero came into the fight with a 20-1-1-1 (13 KOs) and Honorio 24-3-1 (12 KOs).
Pre-Fight: Honorio looks like he is ready to fight. He’s wet, looks focused, and he’s Mexican. Will Honorio show the true Mexican warrior mentality or will he succumb to “The Ghost”? The ring instructions given by Tony Weeks (the ref) were all in Spanish. I am really impressed! I guess I’m easily impressed. Anyway, Honorio is the #5 contender and looks promising. Guerrero on the other hand may be suffering from undue stress. His wife was recently diagnosed with leukemia. This could have a huge impact on the fight.
Round 1: Both begin feeling out their opponent with short jabs. Guerrero seems to be just a little quicker. BAM – out of no where Guerrero throws a straight right to Honorio’s chin! He’s down and clearly dazed. Honorio makes the count only to stumble across the ring and the ref stops the fight. I guess 1 solid punch per round is all it takes. :56 seconds for the round and KO.
For those of you who want to know what ACTS 2:38 on the back of Guerrero’s trunks refers to in the Bible:
Acts 2:38 (New International Version)
38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Guerrero, our hearts and prayers go out to you and your wife.
