Robert Guerrero talks about training for fight against Andre Berto – Boxing News
Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero will defend his interim WBC welterweight title against Andre Berto. Guerrero stands with 30 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie and 18 knockouts in his portfolio while his opponent Berto stands with 28 wins, 1 loss and 22 knockouts in his portfolio.
The fight is scheduled to take place at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California, this Saturday.
Both fighters were present in a media workout earlier this week to exhibit their skills for the fight. They spoke regarding their preparations as well as their feelings for the fight.
“Training went great we stepped up our game and exercises, altered my diet. I am prepared. I have a couple of days left. Sparring went great everything worked out,” said Guerrero, who has been preparing for the fight in Los Angeles.
“I brought in a guy, Lonnie Smith, he emulated Berto very well, real body strong. I had good sparring with him. Expect me to come out and kick butt. I am putting the pedal to the metal!”
His opponent Berto has been training in Winter Heaven. While Guerrero is highly confident of his skills and training, Berto is a bit shaky, believing that the past one year has been tough on him. Berto asserted that he is excited as well as anxious for the
showdown but he definitely wants to enter the ring against Guerrero.
“Training has been great I’m ready, focused, not getting injured and taking care of myself. I have great people working with me,” said Berto.
“I have a lot of emotions built up from last year. I had a crazy year, a roller coaster year, last year. I’m just anxious to get back in there I’m looking forward to it.”
For now, Berto and Guerrero both are prepared for the showdown on Saturday. Considering the fact that both fighters are more or less of the same calibre, the fight is probably going to be an entertaining one. If Berto defeats the ‘The Ghost’, he will have
yet another milestone accomplished. If he is unable to do so, then he will probably end up with another tough year in his life.
