"I learned a lot. I learned being in there with Mayweather; especially the event. A lot of people don't realize the whole event, the All Access, the media and how they bombard you and just everything that comes along with it. Being in New York and getting heckled for carrying a gun and stuff like that and the media just destroying you on something that was nothing. It really shows what kind of person you are. It brings out your character and how you're gonna react to stuff. And although Floyd is a tremendous fighter and how fast he is and how crafty he is in the ring, you take a lot away and you learn about yourself," stated former world champion Robert Guerrero, who looked back on the lessons he learned in a unanimous decision loss to undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather. According to Guerrero, the experience taught him both physically and mentally, and he hopes to apply that new knowledge in his upcoming March 7 clash with WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman.
"After I fought Floyd and got the loss, it sent me back to assess the picture now. What could I do better? What could I have added I? What could I had not done? What went on in my training camp? It leaves you with a bunch of what ifs and you start adjusting and nitpicking everything that you had done up to that point in your career and training and everything that comes along with it," Guerrero explained during a recent conversation with FightHype.com. "You take the good with the bad and you start putting it all together and roll it out again. It's what you are doing after that that makes you a better fighter and having that experience and walking to an arena where the crowd is just crazy and these humongous weigh-ins and the media is coming at you. It gives you that experience that not only makes you a better fighter physically, but mentally as well."
