Yesterday we brought you a few tidbits from the training camps of Eik Morales and Marcos Maidana as they prepare for their April 9th, Las Vegas clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. Robert Guerrero and Michael Katsidis now give us a update on the final weeks of their camp as they co-head line the HBO PPV.
Robert Guerrero Moves Camp To Vegas For The First Time: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero is hoping that the change of scenery, coupled with his traditional training methods, will lead him to victory as he prepares for what he considers his toughest test yet.
In order to defeat his opponent, Michael Katsidis, Guerrero emphasizes the dual importance of keeping his mind on track and sticking to a healthy diet during training.
“My diet hasn’t changed much,” said Guerrero. “I’m eating a good amount of fruits and vegetables with protein. I can’t eat any pizza or chocolate cake during camp, but I really crave that stuff from time to time.”
The sacrifice is worth what could be one of the biggest rewards of his career if he is able to defeat Katsidis on April 9.
“Katsidis brings great name recognition as a former world champion who has fought some of the fighters in the sport including Marquez, Diaz and Casamayor,” continued Guerrero. “I am going to be prepared for whatever he’s got and bring home a victory on April 9.”
Michael Katsidis Keeps It Simple In Thailand: To complement his humble lifestyle in Thailand, Michael Katsidis “The Great” incorporates a “standard practice” of a diet consisting of raw foods. He regiments his diet so that he eats his food closest to its rawest form.
“I enjoy Natto and raw egg,” said Katsidis. “Natto is a soy bean paste used in traditional Japanese breakfasts. Most people hate the smell, but I can’t wait for the next day just so I can eat it again.”
Katsidis has disciplined himself to the point where he enjoys the sacrifice of his training camp diet, despite his craving for one luxury.
