SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Robert Guerrero delighted his home crowd by unanimously outpointing Selcuk Aydin on Saturday night to win the WBC interim welterweight title.
Aydin (23-1, 17 KOs) landed the harder punches throughout the fight, but Guerrero (30-1-1, 18 KOs) landed considerably more and that proved to be the difference to the judges.
Guerrero won 117-111 on one judge’s card and 116-112 on the other two.
Guerrero moved up two weight classes to take on Aydin in his first fight since beating Michael Katsidis in a lightweight battle in April 2011. Guerrero had to cancel his fight last summer against Marcos Maidana to undergo surgery on his left shoulder.
