Robert Guerrero vs. Aron Martinez: Fight Time, Date, Live Stream and TV Info

Premier Boxing Champions continues its run on Saturday, bringing boxing to the masses on cable television with a match out of the sport's most talented division.

This time around, it's Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs) taking on Aron Martinez (19-3-1, 4 KOs) in a welterweight contest, scheduled for 10 rounds at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

This PBC matchup doesn't promise to be as explosive as the wildly entertaining Amir Khan-Chris Algieri brawl, nor does either boxer have as much name recognition as British superstar Khan or the handsome Algieri.

Here's a look at how to catch the action, followed by a quick preview of the bout.

Based on the two boxers' respective records and fight history alone, this bout has all the trappings of a belt-notch contest for Guerrero as he looks to stay relevant in a crowded division full of hungry, young fighters.

Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole recently praised Guerrero as one of the good guys in a sport that at times can be seemingly drowning in greed and replete with self-aggrandizing, controversial characters:

"

Guerrero epitomizes everything that is good about boxing. He's a good guy whose backstory is well known: He gave up a world title to be a stay-at-home dad and look after his children while his wife, Casey, fought leukemia.

Since Casey's recovery, Robert has teamed with her to bring awareness and raise money for the cause.

He's a sports hero in the best kind of way.

"

Martinez has fought sparingly over the past two years, with just one fight each in 2013 and 2014; this, after fighting four times in 2012.

He's lost two of his last three bouts: a fifth-round TKO at the hands of Josesito Lopez in April 2014 and a 10-round, unanimous-decision defeat against Jessie Vargas in September 2012.

Guerrero hasn't fought much more often in that span and has also lost two of his last three bouts, although those came against opponents of a much greater caliber than Martinez's.

In May 2013, Floyd Mayweather beat Guerrero by unanimous decision. No shame in that really, considering Money's mastery of the sweet science.

The last time we saw Guerrero, in March, was for a contest in which the stone-handed Keith Thurman picked him apart for 12 rounds on his way to a unanimous-decision win.

Guerrero did manage to create a very large knot on Thurman's forehead, but there was little else in that match for him. 

At 32 years old and with a wealth of experience in the ring, Guerrero should be the one dictating pace in this contest. Martinez doesn't have enough power to serve as any kind of deterrent if Guerrero wants to exchange blows at close range. Of course, Sherdog.com's Tristen Critchfield points out Guerrero has lost some of his power at welterweight:

"

The most obvious difference in Guerrero’s skill set at a heavier weight class is his lack of knockout power. His last six triumphs have come via decision, while his last stoppage win came in 2010. Much of that can be attributed to Guerrero simply not being able to maintain the same power he did as a smaller fighter.

"

Still, it wouldn't be surprising if Guerrero comes into this match thinking he can bully Martinez at close range and outslug him. Depending on how Martinez responds, fans could get either an entertaining in-and-out bout or simply watch Guerrero chase down a skittish boxer with no power for 30 minutes. In an interview with ESPN's Dan Rafael, Martinez indicated that his fighting style might lead to the former scenario:

"

Everybody that knows me knows that I'm a pressure fighter. Whoever I'm going to be fighting against, that's what I'm about. I'm an old-school fighter. I like to brawl and go in there and fight. I like to get in there and punch. I'm an old-school Mexican. That's what I like to do.

"

Everyone's seen fights where the pre-match bravado leads to claims that don't manifest in a ring, but the 34-year-old Martinez has much to gain from this fight and little to lose, it would seem. He needs a win to put a jolt in his career, is fighting in front of a national TV audience against a far more famous opponent and isn't trying to snatch a title.

Guerrero needs to be careful that he's not walking into a match he's not completely rested and prepared for, but he's an old pro who knows how to handle himself under the bright lights. Look for him to win this scrap with a comfortable unanimous decision.
