It was hardly the classiest tactic, but trainer Ruben Guerrero injected plenty of intrigue into his son Robert’s upcoming welterweight title bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
After a boring thank-you fest disguised as a news conference in the MGM Grand’s Hollywood Theatre, promoter Oscar De La Hoya invited Ruben Guerrero to the dais to say a few words. Virtually every other speaker had gone on in a monotone fashion, thanking every entity possible, name-dropping sponsors ad nauseum and predicting a great fight.
Ruben Guerrero, who has been trying to steal the spotlight from his son by, among other things, challenging Mayweather’s father to a fight, changed things quickly.
He ranted and raved like a madman, shouting about Mayweather’s domestic violence conviction that forced the pound-for-pound top boxer to spend 57 days in a local jail last year.
He started slowly, alluding to his challenge to fight Floyd Mayweather Sr.
“I am what I am, and I’m the real deal,” Ruben Guerrero said. “I don’t talk [expletive], man. I back it up. I back it up, baby. Any time, anywhere, like I said.”
