For the past few weeks in Las Vegas, trainer Ruben Guerrero has been playing his role in NUVOtv’s new reality series “Knockout”.

During that time, Guerrero has fielded a volley of questions from reporters regarding his time on the show, his feud with fellow trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., and everything in between.

Curious for some updates on his son Robert, I asked Guerrero how confident he was that he would be able to rise to the championship ranks again in the wake of his decision loss to Floyd Mayweather this past May.

“I’m very confident in my son,” said Guerrero. “I’ve been training him since he was small and I know what he can do. And that one loss wasn’t supposed to be a loss, because that guy didn’t stay toe to toe with my son; he came to run.

“He came to get a payday,” Guerrero added, continuing to target Mayweather. “He didn’t want to take a chance. He came to get paid. That was it. He said ‘toe to toe’ and he didn’t go toe to toe. And you know what? I’m the kind of man, I back up my word. If I say I’m going toe to toe, I’m going to do it.”

Following the Guerrero victory, Mayweather returned four months later to pitch a virtuoso display in routing Saul Alvarez over the course of twelve rounds.

I asked Guerrero what he thought of Floyd’s effort that night.

“He stood in front of Canelo,” said Guerrero. “He wasn’t scared of Canelo. He’s scared of my son. If he’s a big man about it, he can do a rematch with my son. This time we’re going to train inside of chicken coop with hens and we’re going to catch him. And once we catch those hens, then we’re ready to take him on if he gives us a rematch.”
