1. Robert Guerrero has vacated his IBF Featherweight Title. Guerrero, 25, is moving up to the Super Featherweight/Junior Lightweight division of 130lbs. After struggling to make the 126lb limit in his last two fights, Guerrero thought this was the right move for himself. Guerrero is looking to fight all of the big names such as Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao. Good luck to Robert Guerrero in his move in weight.2. Nate Campbell vs Joan Guzman may take place September 13 on Showtime. It would go head to head with the Joel Casamayor-Juan Manuel Marquez fight on HBO PPV. Nothing has been signed but many things point to the Campbell-Guzman fight taking place on that date.
3. It appears Nonito Donaire, who just broke ties with Gary Shaw, will end up with Top Rank. Although nothing is official, it appears Donaire will end up either fighting on the undercard of the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito fight July 26 or the Joshua Clottey-Zab Judah fight August 2. Both cards are Top Rank cards which also lead to the point that Donaire may soon sign with Top Rank.
4. Zahir Raheem will be facing Ali Funeka in an IBF Lightweight eliminator on July 5 in East London.
5. Lou DiBella has stated he is going to protest the result of the Chris Arreola-Chazz Witherspoon fight. Witherspoon was DQd when he corner approached the apron Saturday night. Although most (including myself) believe Witherspoon was going to lose anyway, he still had the right to continue to fight and not be DQd on a referee's mistake.

Eek I thought Zahir Raheem called it quits. I hope he decides to fight this time around.
Clnmike, I missed you the past few days. Now Raheem is still fighting. His last televised fight was good, he KOd the guy in the first I believe. He is a boxer not a brawler. However I think he got the raw deal after beating Erik Morales. He deserved a big fight and then against Acelino Freitas, I don't know what happened.
