By Mitch Abramson - Joan Guzman is still sorry.
More than two weeks after Guzman’s “blow-up in Biloxi,” he is still feeling the repercussions of failing to make the lightweight limit and wrecking his Sept. 13 match with Nate Campbell.
Guzman has trouble sleeping, frets about losing his fan base, and worries that time is running out on his career.
Cue the violins.
After hearing a mouthful from Campbell and everyone else regarding this debacle, perhaps it's time to listen to Guzman, minus a touching press release.
“I don’t have much longer in this sport,” Guzman said on Friday, holding out his hands. “I don’t feel pressure or that I have to rush or anything, but I do worry about losing time and opportunities and my reputation suffering.”
The fallout from his actions, or lack thereof, has been pretty nasty.
Campbell, the WBA, WBO, IBF lightweight champ, has appropriately lambasted Guzma n for costing him a $300,000 paycheck.
Guzman (28-0, 17 KO) may also be the target of a lawsuit by Campbell’s co-promoter, Terry Trekas. [details]
