SAN JOSE -- Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero took the dais and emanated an aura of confidence. After all, he was in his backyard.

Heightened expectations became the theme for his Thursday press conference at HP Pavilion where the 28-year-old announced his Aug. 27 fight against Argentina’s Marcos “El Chino” Maidana.

Tickets for the HP Pavilion event, which will be handled by Golden Boy Promotions and televised on HBO, will go on sale Friday morning at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster and at the HP Pavilion box office. Prices range from $26 to $252 for ringside seats.

“I’m aware of what could be ahead, and the possibilities are endless,” said Gilroy’s Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KOs), who will be fighting in the light welterweight (140 pounds) division for the first time. “I just need to stay focused and the rest will take care of itself.”
