Last Week we had checked in with both Erik Morales & Marcos Maidana as they prepared for their upcoming April 9th PPV clash in Las Vegas. Now it is the fighters on the under card of that PPV event that have checked in with us as Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero lets us in on how his training has been coming along.
Camp Location: Las Vegas, NV
Why the move to Vegas for your training camp?
“Since my wife is cancer free, I am able to move camp to Las Vegas, away from distractions at home,” said Guerrero. “Plus, I’m fighting here so I figure I will get used to the atmosphere in Las Vegas.”
Guerrero stepped away from the ring for eight months in 2010 to care for his ailing wife Casey, but now that her cancer is in full remission, Guerrero has been able to reestablish himself as one of the top-rated lightweights in the sport. Despite the change of location, everything else in Guerrero’s camp has remained the same. Regular camp members who made the trip with Guerrero to Vegas include his head trainer and father Ruben Guerrero, who has been in his corner since he first walked into a boxing gym at age nine and Guerrero’s manager/nutritionist Bob Santos who keeps his diet on track with fruits, vegetables and proteins.
“As far as my training routine, we are keeping everything the same as if we were back at home. My thinking is why would I change something that has been working.”
The biggest obstacle involved with changing locations for Team Guerrero has been getting a lay of the land.
“Because this is our first camp in Las Vegas, we have to get used to the area in terms of where everything is located. We had to find the grocery stores, gyms, etc., but we have a good routine now,” said Guerrero.
