Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero kicked off from HBO roster

While Robert Guerrero’s eyebrow is starting to heal, HBO isn’t itching to show the Gilroy junior lightweight’s next fight. Some say HBO is cutting off Guerrero for good because of his quick acceptance of a no-decision in his March 7 bout in San Jose.

“I don’t want to go that far,” HBO Sports chief Ross Greenburg told me Tuesday by telephone. However, Greenburg made it clear Guerrero, the former IBF featherweight champion, has been kicked off the HBO roster and will have to fight his way back because of his unsatisfying two-round fight that ended because of an accidental head butt.

“He’s a tremendous talent,” Greenburg said of the slick and sometimes explosive left-hander, who was in a close fight with unheralded Daud Yordan when the butt occurred, “but he has to go back to the well. It was a very unsatisfying finish.”

To get back on HBO, “he has to fight someone of note,” Greenburg said. “You’re only as good as your last fight.”
