	Joan Guzman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joan Guzman (born May 1, 1976) is a Dominican boxer who is the WBO's former world super-bantamweight champion.
		Guzman stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall, which is a relatively tall size for a fighter of his division.
		Guzman won his next two fights by decision; there is a theory that boxers who see a rival get hurt tend to diminish their aggressiveness on the bouts that follow.

	Boxing News : Gerbasi : Guzman vs. Sanchez – This Grudge Match May Get Ugly, but it’s a ...
		Guzman cites the numerous postponements of the bout and losses of time and money due to these delays for his dislike of Sanchez, but ‘El Ciclon’ hasn’t exactly been a shrinking violet either, having issued a recent press release entitled “I will break Guzman’s jaw”.
		At 27, Guzman may not be your typical young gun, but he still has seven years on the veteran Sanchez, and with such youth and an unbeaten record (20-0, 16 KOs) to his name, “Little Tyson”; does have the air of invincibility swirling around him.
		What’s scary about Guzman is that even though he hasn’t come close to matching the quality of opposition faced by Sanchez, he has shown the ability to box as well as bang, a dangerous combination in any circumstance.

		Guzman claims that he was told that it was a non-title fight in which he could come in as heavy as 130 pounds.
