JOAN GUZMAN
“I’m on pace to make weight and on Saturday night Diaz is going to be surprised at how good I really am. I’m here to make a statement to the world. Joan Guzman, the undefeated champion is back.
“I’m at 136 pounds right bow, one pound above the lightweight limit. This is a message to the boxing community that I am back.
“This fight is particularly special because it is in my hometown where my fans have always treated my well.
“I’m extremely happy with how training camp wrapped up. We went back to some of the old stuff that I used to do when I was younger. I felt like a kid again.
“I’m really excited to give my hometown fans a great show. I won here in 2006 against Antonio Davis and I’ll win again on Saturday.”
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.
