Los Angeles, CA  - Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (33-4, 18 KOs) was very upset in the aftermath of his twelve round decision loss to Danny "Swift" Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) at the Staples Center. Scores were 116-112 on all three judges' scorecard.

It was Garcia's second fight in the welterweight division. The victory gave Garcia the vacant WBC welterweight championship.

Garcia's first bout at welterweight came against Paulie Malignaggi last year. Garcia stopped the former two-division champion, but he never really put Malignaggi down or had him in severe trouble. The referee stopped bout because he felt Malignaggi was taking too many punches.

Guerrero was caught by some very hard punches from Garcia in the second half of the fight. He took them very well and continue to push forward.

"He has a decent punch, decent power. He hit me with some really good combinations, one after another. He didn't hurt me," Guerrero said.

Last March, Guerrero challenged what many consider to be the deadliest puncher at the weight, WBA welterweight champion Keith "One Time" Thurman. Guerrero was hit hard and dropped during the fight and lost a wide twelve round decision in the end.

When asked to compare the punching power of Thurman and Garcia - Guerrero says Thurman is by far the stronger puncher of the two and also noted that Garcia's power, which did a lot of damage at 140, is not a big factor at 147.

"We were actually talking about that in the back....how does his power compare to Thurman's [power]. I said Thurman's jab was double of [Garcia's] right hand. [Garcia] does have some kind of power, but I don't think he has that knockout power for 147-pounds," Guerrero said.
