Backstage pass to a world title fight: Exclusive to the Yardbarker nation



How's it going Yardbarker nation?

This is some footage of me in the locker room where I'm warming up about an hour and a half before the fight and the commission is mandated to watch the hand wraps from my cut man Ruben Gomez.

Ruben has worked the corner of over 300 world title fights. He's the best in the business. His hand wraps feel like mini casts on my hands. It truly makes a difference in the fight if my hand wraps are done correctly. In this video you'll see the Arizona Commission rep look closely at the way Gomez is wrapping my hands. There can only be a certain amount of tape allowed.

My dad, whose name is Ruben also, is wearing the hat. He's working the mitts to get my timing down. My managers Bob Santos and Shelly Finkel, my brothers Ruben Jr and Randy, along with my uncle Russ are all backstage getting ready to walk out to the ring with me. Right before we walk out Oscar De La Hoya comes to our room to give us his blessings.

This fight was promoted by Goldenboy Promotions in association with my promoter Goossentutor. Check it out.

It took you longer to wrap your hands than it did to knock that dude out. Round one, less than a minute... you the man, Ghost!


Great stuff Ghost. I usually get to see quick cuts to the locker room on Showtime of HBO. It's great to get a long look at what is really going on.

Your Dad seemed more nervous than you were! I read the article in SF Gate glad to hear that Casey is improving. God Bless you and your family.
For all the Ghost Fans on Yardbarker here is a good article worth checking out about the Ghost!

Already got that look in your eye an hour before the fight.

Certainly was a bio-hazardous wrap. Too bad for the title challenger he didn't take heed to the warning. You looked sharp and lighting fast in your warm up too, thanks for sharing this video as well as all the others. I hope all is going well with your family, I'll continue to pray for all of you and God Bless.
