You get used to it after a while, but when you go out of town and come back, you smell it again," Guerrero says. "I like to smell it now."
When the fighter known since childhood as "The Ghost" returns to his home a few miles away, the calm recedes just like that familiar fragrance. The holiday season has been both more frightening and more joyous than anything he's ever known.
Casey Guerrero, his wife and the mother of their two children, was diagnosed with leukemia less than two weeks before his fight against Martin Honorio last month.
He spent several nights sleeping on the floor of a hospital room before the fight, and he didn't get to Tucson, Ariz., until the day before the bout. In the nervous moments before heading into an unfriendly ring at a desert casino, his father crystallized his purpose.
This is what puts your food on the table," Ruben Guerrero told his son. "This is what's going to pay your medical bills for your wife."
After the Arizona fans booed his name, the Ghost knocked out Honorio 56 seconds into the first round with one stunning punch - and two hours later, he was on his way back home to Casey.
He's spent the eight weeks since his victory in a whirlwind of motion and emotion. When he's not shuttling Casey to doctors' visits in the Bay Area, he's practicing the finer points of changing diapers or putting a 2-year-old girl's hair into a ponytail - and he never lets himself get out of shape.
"I've got a lot of responsibility on me," Guerrero says. "A lot of people are counting on me to do my best at everything I need to do, so I don't want to let anybody down. My father, my wife, my children, my team - everybody is counting on me."
With ample support from his family and in-laws, the 24-year-old champion is juggling his duties as a fighter, a husband, a father, and a brother to another aspiring boxer with dreams of glory.
So far, Guerrero hasn't dropped anything.
"He's a tough kid, but nobody would know how to react to that," says Ruben Guerrero, who's also his son's trainer. "It's a big shock when they tell you your wife has cancer, and they don't know if she's going to die. It was tough for everybody to deal with."
His father suspects the third of his four fighting sons was particularly well equipped to handle such a challenge. Aside from his inherited discipline, he seems to be that rare boxer without a grandiose bone in his body, which is dramatically skinny even when he isn't making weight.
He doesn't wear jewelry or gaudy clothing, and he still lives in humble Gilroy, venturing away only for training and fights. Fittingly, his favorite boxer is Salvador Sanchez, the underdog Mexican featherweight who became a surprise world champion before dying at 23 in a 1982 car crash.
"The people around me keep me focused on boxing instead of the other stuff," Guerrero says. "Casey plays a big role in that, and so does my father."
Ruben Guerrero was a Golden Gloves champion in both Texas and San Francisco before raising his family in Gilroy. When young Robert showed an interest in the hurting business, Ruben developed a plan to maximize his wiry son's potential - everything from a strict early morning training regimen to a stringent diet.
Though Robert has worked with respected trainers Freddie Roach and Joe Goossen, his father is still in charge.
"I'll hear him knocking on the door at 4 a.m., saying, 'Come on, we'll drink coffee and wait for the sun to rise,"' Robert says. "He pushed me. He still does."
After a steady rise through the amateur ranks and a near-miss with the U.S. Olympic team, Guerrero won the IBF title in September 2006 when Eric Aiken quit on his stool. Guerrero lost the belt to Orlando Salido two months later - but Salido tested positive for steroids, voiding the result.
When Casey gave birth to their son, Robert, just 10 months ago, Guerrero was in Denmark reclaiming the vacant title by beating Spend Abazi, even winning cheers from Abazi's home crowd with a ninth-round knockout.
Casey and Robert have been together since their early days at Gilroy High School. She backed his progression through a dangerous sport, and her illness shook him in ways his support team couldn't have guessed from his wordless focus in Tucson.
"I was talking to her on the phone, and she was asking exactly what time I was fighting," Guerrero says. "I told her, and she said, 'OK, I'll be praying at exactly 7 o'clock. Don't think about me. Just think about what you have to do.' That's the way she is."
And Guerrero believes he'll have Casey's support for the rest of his life. Two weeks ago, on her 24th birthday, Casey learned her leukemia was in remission.
Until Casey makes a full recovery, the Ghost will keep doing the right thing for his family and his profession. Between the dawn runs and the evening's fatherly duties, Guerrero even finds time to spar with his 15-year-old brother, Randy, an outstanding multisport athlete who recently stopped playing baseball and basketball to concentrate on the family business.
"I get him real good sometimes," Robert Guerrero says with a laugh. "I'm just coming off a fight, so I'm in great shape, but he says, 'I'm ready for you.' We'll see.
Awareness of the concept of dialogue often do not have the time, when I will be their own magic into Diablo the devil Diablo game, I let the whole chessboard in the hands of a dark black light when the Qi Lianna Swan Lake jumped out to Diablo a large number of feathers and four black swan has left me close.
Chess battle space, a black pattern, in my mind, read the Suoluodi lightly, I Diablo hands of the devil chess game released a while glare entire space warfare has changed ways, if we say that just now is a game of space warfare hundreds, with the elements of Diablo, now, it truly live up to the space war game name, the whole room full of black crisscross thread here will be zoned into a huge chessboard, and I Qi Jolie standing on both sides of this board, as are two players encounter.
Qi Lianna surprise discovered that they just let a lot of magic there will be no sudden-head, and in this crisscross the chessboard of flying, no one can be a threat to me, finally disappeared without a trace.
What is this? Come see this Lianna calling black chessboard, I feel somewhat strange.
This is the real meaning of the chess battle space, I am sorry, this is also magic props Diablo created space.
I laughed said, is only repeating Suoluodi so, In this board, everyone has to abide by its rules, where each release only a magic, magic does not limit the maximum energy, but has restricted magic number, because it is a chessboard, chess has never been in a time can take a lot of steps.
Here, called chess battle space? Come Lianna saw a huge chessboard of this, really meaningful.
So, Miss-Jolie. I laughed, then what are ready to jump? Next? Come Lianna cunning Zhalezha eyes, following the end of the performance. Finished, She elegant to me to a curtain call ceremony, Thank you for your appreciation.
End?n
Suoluodi that guy is dissatisfied with the series of grievances, so the layout of the scene no one showing up, it feels really picture is slightly less positive.
Yes, Modaoshi adults. Qi Lianna said with a smile: You let me see your strong Since then, Diablo World succumbed to the forces under you.
Diablo World succumbed in my power under? How to listen also like a joke, I Zhoulezhou brows, I am only a small stray Dance Troupe s head, succumbed word, I do not engage in some understand the meaning of it.
Diablo World succumb to force. Qi Jolie laughed, This is a practice, the instinct is that only a strong warrior Diablo Diablo Master or should it become the world leader Diablo, Diablo This is the world there have always been reasons, we submit to the strong, and eager to power, have kept the struggle and efforts, the reason you should be the most clear, is not it? powerful Diablo Modaoshi?n
I nodded, she had to admit that the truth. Constant struggle and competition, it is the character of these Diablo Magicians, but different from ours, we are souls, we are more calm thinking, quiet observation, although they are two different extremes, and there are all continuation of the way.
It is perfectly true ah, this small Yatou, I appreciate her more and more! Suoluodi in my mind clamor.
So, you agree? Come Jolie asked with a smile.
Agree? Agree with what? I had to Leng, asked.
World leaders do Diablo, Diablo lead us to display the glory. Qi Jolie is the tone of fanaticism, the revitalization of Diablo world is the ideal of her mind.n
I am sorry, Miss-Jolie, I am not interested in this. Laughed, I said: I am just a small Troupe, head of Diablo display the glory of what I am not very interested .
Really? Come Lianna not angry, she laughed, In any case, you can be the first space war game dismiss, it is very disturbing to me.
Oh, I am sorry, I had been overlooked. Laughed, I am sorry to stop the transmission Diablo, Diablo the devil forces chess, chess there is no magic space warfare support, disappeared without a trace, we have returned to that remote streets.
Qi Lianna response I do not find it strange to have a Master Modaoshi level of Diablo, Diablo want to have forces in the world is actually a very easy thing, but I did not do this, only Jinjin odorant my business this small stray Troupe, which in itself explains my intention, I now do not know how to engage in Qi Jolie is neither frustrated nor disappointed, but the one sure way, whether she would like to going to do.
As I Miansaiguxiang time-Jolie has her wear robes that are in the possession, and the cover is of her hot and sexy greetings. Pudishi wake up and the two samurai also Diablo barely climb up from the ground, she stops to the funeral.
So, say goodbye. I calmly with a smile to the faces of homogeneous Lianna Huilehui hand, the hope of the world to see Diablo, I was very pleased, although I can not join the Diablo world, but if you have What need help, then I would do its efforts to help you. Suoluodi s face or how much to give some, these remarks while sounding remarks, but did not use that, but I immediately began to regret that these the words.
You too polite adults. Qi Lianna cunning smile, If you say so, then I really have to help one of the things you want to please you.
Please Well, what can I help? I Zhoulezhou brows said.
I want to join your Song, I do not know Can. Qi Lianna said with a smile.
What, I am sorry, Miss-Jolie, I did not listen carefully to what you say. Looks odd, I asked.
I said, I want to join your Song and Dance Troupe, unaware that it could be? Although so-Jolie say very politely, but to see is an absolute expression let me join, I will rely on you on the meaning of .
Sorry, Miss-Jolie, this request I am afraid I can not promise you. Looks odd, I said.
Why? Adults? Come Jolie in situ to a circle, with the wind from moving to her robe, her demon Wan figure demonstrated to be exhaustive, Do I dance is not jumping?
Shame on you, Miss-Jolie, you dance the dance great, and we simply can Troupe of Huaying Miss comparable to this, I impeccable. For this point I really can not eliminate the fact Mody.
Very good, and adults, so that I can join your Song? Come Jolie asked with a smile.
This is not, Ms. Qi Lianna. My headache Rourou his forehead, If you want to join our Troupe, but also by other members of the recognition, I personally do not have this power. I do not know how the refusal Yatou this, but to put the responsibility on to other people.
Really? The sister of the Song and Dance Ensemble to join us? I suddenly heard the funeral pleasantly surprised to call me completely into the abyss of despair.n
Troupe? Huaying side in my arms to drill to drill while secretly watching-Jolie.
Ah, lovely girl. Qi Lianna said with a smile: I would like to join your Troupe, but you do not want to mentor like this.
Huaying raised his head and looked at me Wenleihonghong the mentor, Why? Why we can not join the sister of the Song and Dance Troupe? I just have seen, the sister jumping very good, and Huaying would like to dance with her, ? I reluctantly Huaying patted on the shoulder, then came streaming Mount said: This is how the case? flow friction expression some embarrassment, instructors, I was not allowed to get off the Huaying Miss , but she suddenly said that some people in the dance, insisted alight see not, I could not help but begged her hard, and to see those who are look at the outside, but only threat to what we have just, agreed.
I saw a bow Huayingshuihonghong the big eyes, the Health and powerlessness from a while, this pair of big eyes of mass destruction astonishing that my several hundred years old souls not to resist, let alone still in puberty flow of Moldova.
She really say that? Sometimes I have to admire the art Huaying keen sixth sense, she was able to feel that people in dance, she was always a peacetime drowsily appearance is not all have the feeling concentrated here?
Yes, instructors, Huaying see Miss, Miss who has just begun her out dancing, and later you for the local, Miss Hua Ying also straight Rangzhao not clear, and would like to rely on the more recent, I am making great efforts attraction to him. finished, the flow Moldova also one breath sigh, do not come out, Huaying Miss, there were still a great effort, I came very close to a column she can not.
This lovely girl. Evil-Jolie aside words, you called Huaying, right? Ah, sister. Huaying the Dianzhaotou force, Do you know me? Awareness course , Mingzhen the continent as a whole dark pillars Song Ling, the famous dancers Huaying Miss, there are still people do not know your name? Come Lianna said with a smile: You can see I feel very honoured ah!
Really? Huaying obviously very glad to hear this, you jump sister is also very good ah! Unfortunately, I can only see the beginning of that with the dance, but you almost into a big black ball, I can only see a shadow. Here, Huaying some frustration.
I can dance for you every day ah! Come Jolie is a temptation now is like the devil, indeed Suoluodi followers.
Good, good! Exciting Huaying said: That sister and me go back ah!
However, you do not seem to like my mentor with you. Qi Lianna expression between Grand Mercure also become very frustrated, really is a very good actor.
Train! Really?n
Huaying watching me, and I see her almost in tears to flow out.
OK, Miss-Jolie, you win. Some of my helpless shakes his head, you now is that we Troupe member of the official.
Thank you, the adults, you are a kind-hearted people. Qi Lianna smile very cunning.
If possible, please adults term use less, we are a stray Song. I Roulerou forehead.
Well, then, can I ask you what is good? Come Jolie asked.
I casually ask you how. Songlesong my shoulders, as long as adults is not so sensitive on the word.
Then, like this. Zha-Jolie to me to the eyes, I called your boss how? Casually. I laughed, You are welcome, we have a new star.
Thank you, boss. Qi Lianna nodded, then how my wages should be?n
I first started to love, You want to? Annual salary of one million coins how? Come Lianna said with a smile.
Golds 1 million annual salary, God! I wry smile the sound of sorry, I admit here is the actor, not the King.
If there is no money, then I can only say that the sorry. Liangshouyinan-Jolie, the emboldened said.
God, I met today is not a bandit. Secret I rumored Road.n
Huaying going again looked at me, looked at me or her badly Wenleihonghong the big eyes, she is the most lethal weapons.
Well OK, I surrender. I saw a helpless elated homogeneous Lianna, call a spade a spade, I do not have one million coins, but a year s time I can teach you a senior Diablo magic, as much as possible teach you some of the junior has lost the magic how Diablo? you Kanzhaoban. Suoluodi anyway, and there are two doors in the monster, not white not.
Transactions, you is a good man. Qi Jolie laughs: Well, I can go to your resident? I hope to have a separate room, and then make Xianganreshuicao rest, tossing about for so long, I have been tired.
OK, you sit and Youyun their car is run behind, are women sit together should be convenient.
I said.
There is no problem. Well, I went to. Qi Lianna to me nodded, turned toward his own trio.n
We are key members of the Song and Dance Ensemble is very simple, basically dead, the large number of dead, if suddenly one more big living, what would you say?
You say there is some truth. Suoluodiyileng, rumored Road.
Is very reasonable. I sigh a sigh of relief, Other people also can be easily handled, and the key is the two Chichisi Huaying and goblins, they were too easy to set it.
So, how you want to solve this problem. Suoluodi extremely irresponsible asked.
I would now like to say a few words and dreams, you first wait. He said to me.
Have a strong spiritual strength for us, this is the link between the minds of the most simple, simply a signal I find I want to see people.
Dream. I yelled.
What things? Instructors. At any time, the voice always dream plain, not by listening to the feelings of the increasingly volatile.
I would like to ask a little thing about you. , I said.
Is just now coming in on that girl? Dream said: She was full of curiosity, and is also Huaying Chichisi chat in jubilation.
Yes. Smart and always speak in a lot of efforts, to create a fantasy bar, sabotaged that curiosity exuberant girls, as Chichisi and Huaying, letting them sleep well the past, we have too many secret do not want to let others know.
I understand that. The answer is very simple dream, I also very reassuring.
Well, let us turn to the next and we will face a big problem. Dream I conclude with the dialogue, said in one breath a sigh: Why do bad things always scan and then to come? ? What is the matter? sounds very serious. Suoluodi curious and asked.
Very serious. I nodded, remember the banquet tonight? Of course, we had just come back there. Suoluodi said, I do not think I would be worse to the memory of this level.
Since you have very good memory, then, as I promised in the field and the dinner that Mr. St. Cavaliers a testing comparison you should also remember that, right? I asked.
Of course, what is the problem? Suoluodi or some do not understand.
I am behind a means to reach out, there.
I understand that. Suoluodi of the expressions have become grim, I have Diablo Modaoshi Zou is the strength, but my nature is a soul of the Master, if there is no homogeneous Jolie in the case, I Diablo Magic should also be able to mix the past, even if there are slight fluctuations in the soul of magic mixed on the inside there is no relationship, they will be strong fluctuations disguise Diablo magic live.
However, a homogeneous Lianna to complicate things, to her knowledge Diablo magic, the magic of the other wait fluctuations that can deceive her feelings, even if she is from the Central suspect, we have trouble on the large, the best result is our current mainland trip ended early. Want to use this method muddle through today not feasible, is a rival St. Cleveland, it is not the case-this-Modaoshi Jolie, which the two co-operation to deal with magic props up the very insurance, and I Diablo deeds of the devil chess is too low.
Since you understand, we talk about it to, and how to resolve this issue. On my back to my seat.
How to resolve? Her immediately expelled from the Song and Dance Troupe!n
Road Fortunately, I added a trio to the quiet magic, or else the entire Acacia can hear his voice.
Expulsion from Song? I am a wry smile was that where there is so easy, she has just joined, but there is good Huaying accountable.
You are too soft-hearted! Suoluodi sigh a sigh of relief, not like a look at how the souls of the Master.
Master souls of the feelings of always able to maintain a degree of relative calm. Bielebiezui I, is not to say that we do not have their own ideas, treating the majority of things we can be heart like a stone, because we are just spectators, but treated the same as the soul of souls, we must have the right attitude, because our purpose is the same, in a long period of time, they will be our Guizhou with this point and Diablo Master different.
Well, well, I know. Suoluodi weak wave, how do you say? I Xiangleyixia, asked: What have you actually Mocou magic? Can a person into another person like?
We are Mozu, not Maronite. Suoluodi powerless said: Only Maronite may come and go their own way, but actually after the appearance is fixed, where you said that the kind of magic, even if there is some dark camouflage magic element is a temporary solution, it is easy to Xianchuyuanxing. heard soul magic ability to change a person s appearance, you are the soul instructors, Do not you know?n
I had a wry smile, believe me, you do not want to know what kind of method is operating.
Suoluodi could not play a Chisuo, Anxiao the sound of Do you want to know what there deformation of what to do? Who you want to become? Into you. I Zhoulezhou brows, I originally think we can swap a description, you have the soul of magic and little more affinity with the elements of Diablo, and more insurance than I am.
If I may, I would also like to help you this busy, alas, I am not. Suoluodiliangshouyinan said.
I have the unpleasant task is not on the. The one breath, I sigh.
We escaped Akaexi big deal to our strengths want to go, then no one can live our column! Said Suoluodi frustration, and watching his appearance, it should be positive and those delicious food valedictory of January 1 .
It is not only the case. I sigh a helpless tone, there is no better way, the mainland trip a little bit too short.
Hey Weiwei! Self-two! There is no one voice in the emergence of this bodes well inside, we have two people threatened a jump. Suoluodi voice from the chest-out, and we would like this, there are a million years old monster here.
