After six weeks of hard work in the isolated mountains of Big Bear California, former two-time featherweight world champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero is entering the final days of training camp.

"I've been sparring with Sugar Shane Mosley and the knowledge he's been giving me is priceless," Guerrero said. "Shane is a great teacher and I'm grateful to be learning from one of the best fighters in boxing history. My weight is good and I can't wait to arrive in Houston. The final days are here and all the hard work and sacrifices will pay off come fight night."

Guerrero challenges current two-time world champion, Malcolm Klassen from South Africa, August 22, 2009 at the Toyota Center in Houston TX, televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark. On the line will be Klassen's IBF Jr. Lightweight=2 0title. Guerrero vs Klassen is the co-feature to Juan Diaz vs Paul Malignaggi. Guerrero is seeking his third world championship in his second weight class.
