Here's a look at how Vegas looks at the fight along with the schedule for the evening and a prediction fo the top undercard fight. Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook. The oddsmakers are giving a slight edge to the elder Guerrero to win the fight.

The Ghost made a name for himself for the run he made in the early 's. That lead to a title defense against Andre Berto. Guerrero beat Berto via unanimous decision which then set up the biggest fight of his career against Floyd Mayweather. Guerrero's caution to the wind style made for an interesting bout with Money, but like most people, he came up well short.

Losing to Mayweather is something both fighters have in common. Given both fighters rise up the rankings came at similar times it's surprising their paths did not cross.

But as I say, better late then never, right?

The weight cut. Getting down was really really tough, just to get down. But it was an opportunity. I love it, it was fun. That was a good punch. He caught me with a clean punch, a really clean punch. It was a right hook, right? Right hook, caught me with the right hook. Luis Ortiz had Deontay Wilder in a world of trouble, and he was seemingly seconds away from becoming the first Cuban boxer in history to win a heavyweight title.

The fight will serve as the co-feature to the lightweight unification bout between Mikey Garcia and Robert Easter Jr. Mario Barrios will take on Jose Roman in the round junior welterweight opener. Ortiz won the first four rounds and almost had Wilder flat on his back in Round 5 before the champ rallied. With a victory or two back under his belt, he should be in line soon for another notable bout.

I am thankful to have this opportunity.
