Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero: Official for May 4

According to sources who contacted The Boxing Tribune, the rumored Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero bout is no longer a rumor.

Set for May 4 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, this will be Mayweather’s first bout at welterweight since September of 2011, when he stopped Victor Ortiz in four rounds with what many believe to be an unsportsmanlike punch on Ortiz who was apologizing for what appeared to be an intentional headbutt.

Guerrero’s last fight was a unanimous decision victory over former welterweight titlist, Andre Berto. With the win, the former featherweight and super featherweight world titlist capped off a 2-0 2012 in the welterweight division. Earlier in the year he beat Turkey’s Selcuk Aydin, also by unanimous decision.
