"THE GHOST" DOMINATES ERIC AIKEN AND BECOMES WORLD CHAMPION
Boxing Media Release - 9/5/2006
On September 2nd 2006, a new IBF Featherweight World Champion was crowned, as
Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (19-1-1 12KO’s) dominated former champion Eric
“Might Mouse’ Aiken (16-5 12KO’s) stopping the east coast native for the first
time in his career, making him quit after the eighth round. The battle took
place in front of packed house of lively fans at the Staples Center in Los
Angeles, live on Showtime. “The Ghost” took control from the opening bell with
constant pressure and a devastating body attack, never letting his foot off the
gas pedal, throwing a tremendous amount of punches. It was obvious that Aiken
was looking for a way out early, as Guerrero was blowing holes in his body,
while breaking him down. After every round Guerrero would stare and smile at
Aiken, letting him know that it was his night, and there was nothing he was
going to do to spoil his coming out party. Shortly after the eight round
ended, “Might Mouse” and his team had enough, and threw in the towel. Showing
class, “The Ghost” gave Eric a hug and both fighters gave each other props.
Aiken a class act himself, later came over and told Robert “congratulations”.
Guerrero becomes the first world champion to come out of the San Francisco Bay
Area of this millennium. “The Ghost” and his power team of Dan Goossen ,
Shelly Finkel and Bob Santos, let the media know that they want to keep Robert
active. “I've worked for this all my life, and it was God’s plan for me to be
a world champion” – Robert Guerrero
Look for “The Ghost” to fight one more time before years end. It has been
rumored that his next fight could be in Bay Area.
