SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Undefeated NABF Champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero has been named honorary captain for Team USA when Team Mexico comes to San Francisco for the biggest amateur boxing event of the year.
For the first time ever -- on Sunday October 30th – San Francisco will be ground zero as the two greatest boxing powers on the planet collide. Boasting one of the most intense sports rivalries in the world, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium is preparing for a night of explosive international boxing competition as the Mexican National Team takes on Team USA. Mexico is bringing their best boxers and Team USA stands ready.
No two countries have more storied boxing histories, and none have produced more world champions.

The event will feature bouts in 9 Olympic weight categories. "The Ghost" is elated at the fact that this competition is being held in his native land and is honored to be named team captain.
Guerrero said, “I’m just happy that our armatures are getting some good exposure. I feel it is my duty to be there in support. I just want to thank the San Francisco Golden Gloves committee for choosing me to be their captain.
