Robert Guerrero III secures spectacular victory with first round knockout in Tijuana
Undefeated super featherweight, Robert Guerrero III, son of former multi-division world champion, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, captivated the crowd at the Auditorio Municipal de Tijuana this past Friday with a stunning knockout victory in his second professional fight.
On his pro debut, last month in March, “El Pistolero” scored a shutout points win over four-rounds, but was able to go one better in this fight to score his first pro career KO.
Guerrero III (2-0, 1 KO) faced off against Cristian Velazquez of Tijuana, MX, in a scheduled 4-round bout. The fight, promoted by Bxstrs Promotions, aired live on ESPN Deportes / “ESPN Knockout”.
The teenage talent , aged just 17, sealed the win with a first-round knockout, delivering a powerful left hook-straight right combo to the body of Velazquez that sent him to the canvas. The referee promptly stopped the bout, solidifying Guerrero III’s dominance in the ring.
“Scoring my first knockout of my career feels incredible,” said young Guerrero.. “I put in a lot of hard work and dedication into my training, and this knockout victory is a moment I’ll never forget.”
Looking ahead, Guerrero III is eager to maintain his momentum and stay active in the boxing world throughout the rest of the year.
“I’m already planning my next steps to get back in the ring as soon as possible. I want to stay busy, keep improving, and show the world what I’m capable of. This is just the beginning for me, and I’m ready to make my mark.”
“I very pleased with my son’s performance over the weekend,” said Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero. “He showed he has the power to take out a fighter, and it’s clear that he has a bright future ahead of him in the world of boxing. As his father and mentor, I’ll continue to support him every step of the way.”
