Punika apa pejuang wis ngomong bab latihan camp, each other and more:
How has training camp gone for this fight?
Javier Fortuna: I’m having an excellent training camp. We’re working hard and figuring out how to break down my opponent. Hector Bermudez does a great job and I’m very comfortable training here in Boston. I’ve gotten great sparring with guys like Will Madero and Alden Whatley. I’m going to be just as strong in the final round as I was in the first.
Omar Douglas: “Latihan wis arep banget uga. I was already working and staying sharp, because I knew a big fight was on the horizon. Training in Delaware with Douglas Petitford has been great for me and I’ve had incredible sparring. I’ve been in there getting rounds with (2016 U.S. Olympian) Gary Antuanne Russell and a veteran in Hank Lundy.
What do you think of your opponent and how do you see this fight going stylistically?
JF: “Douglas is a prospect who has looked pretty good coming up. He wants to get to where I’ve been. He might be looking past me. I think that his style fits my style perfectly. I’m going to have openings and I just need to take advantage.
OD: Fortuna is a very decent and explosive fighter. He’s a former world champion and I expect him to stand up and get back what he thinks is his. He wants his rematch with Sosa and we are in each other’s way. He’s a frontrunner in the ring. He will try to start strong and I am prepared for whatever he brings to the table. Whether he boxes or fights me. I will make adjustments.
What kind of problems does your opponent pose?
JF: The only problem that he will pose is if he doesn’t show up and fight. I’m ready for anything he can bring, so I hope he’s ready to give the fans a show.
OD: He moves well. I can’t let myself get off-balanced trying to chase him. He’s awkward but I know that my jab will neutralize his strengths.
What are you looking for in the future if you can get the win on November 12? What are your goals for 2017?
JF: I want to fight the best out there. My first choice is a rematch with Jason Sosa so that I can win my belt back. I’d love to fight Vasyl Lomachenko. I don’t think he’s fought a guy quite like me yet.
OD: I want to fight for a world title. That’s the goal. He is a former champion who just lost his title and 2017 is my year to make a run for a title.
How have you improved as a fighter since your loss? Do you believe a win over Douglas proves you’re still one of the best in the division?
JF: I have learned a lot of things since I lost. My defense and my confidence in myself has improved. If I can beat a guy who is 22-0 and make it two wins over previously unbeaten fighters, then I think I’m right back in contention. He’s still considered a prospect so I think whoever wins will be a contender at the top of the division.
How does fighting in Philadelphia motivate you, having fought there in the amateurs and being from nearby Delaware?
OD: In the amateurs I was one of the only guys from Delaware. I had a lot of obstacles. I’ve been fighting against Philly’s best fighters for years. Philadelphia is where I achieved my first goals in the sport and it will always be special to me to fight in Philly.
Why do you believe you’ll be victorious on fight night?
JF: With the work that I’ve been putting in, I know that I will be ready on fight night. I’ve been through too much not to leave the ring victorious.
OD: I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life and I believe I am the hungrier fighter. He doesn’t want it as badly as I do. I’ve been waiting in the shadows for a long time. I have all the skills necessary to get the job done.

“Aku nonton lan sinau, njupuk okehe,” Cuellar ngandika. “Saiki, Aku ngerti yen nggarap 5th St. Gym sajrone nem minggu kepungkur. Wis pengalaman luar biasa. Saben dina, sampeyan ora bakal ngerti sapa sing bakal mlaku liwat lawang kono. Wis dadi salah sawijining gym tinju paling apik ing saindenging jagad luwih saka 50 taun. Wiwit jaman biyen nganti Muhammad Ali, para pejuang wis kepincut menyang gym iki amarga sejarah sing apik lan sparring sing hebat, uga wilayah sing duwe restoran Pantai Selatan, klub lan pantai. Anget, cuaca sing lembab uga ndadekake para pejuang luwih gampang ngilangi olahraga lan latihan bobot awak.
“(Sing duwe) Dino Spencer lagi nindakake ing 5th St. Tradhisi gym. Saben dina aku nengsemake. Klompok etnik campuran ana ing kana lan dadi tenaga bakat. Ana sparring telung dina seminggu – Aku ngarani Spar-a-rama – lan kabeh wong gelem nantang awake dhewe. Sparring luwih apik tinimbang akeh gelut TV.
“5th St. Pelatih gym Guy Laieta wis nyoba ngyakinake aku dadi anggota tim suwene limang taun kepungkur. Aku wis ngobrol karo Dino ing sawetara acara, nyebutake kepinginan kanggo nglatih para pejuang metu saka 5th St. Gym. Kandhane, 'Ayo ayo.’ Sukses saka 5th St. Gym saiki wis ana gandhengane karo kepemilikan. Dino kepengin banget tinju lan dheweke grapyak banget, sing ditrapake kanggo staf lan para pejuang. Getaran apik kabeh wektu!”
Cuellar mangkat menyang Las Vegas ing 1976 lan, sawise dheweke ngerti yen dadi petinju dudu kapentingan sing paling apik, dheweke miwiti nglatih para pejuang ing kana 1981 metu saka Gym Johnny Garcia. Setahun mengko, dheweke ngalih basis Brooklyn lan miwiti nglatih para pejuang metu saka ikon tinju liyane, Gleason Planet. Ing 2000, dheweke manggon maneh ing Miami.

Dikenali ing saindhenging tinju minangka guru sing unggul, Sukses Cuellar umume diarani latihan para pejuang kanthi individu, fokus ing kabutuhan pribadi tinimbang menehi kabeh instruksi lan perhatian kanggo kabeh pejuang.

Aku duwe spesialisasi ing sekolah sing diarani sekolah lawas. Sekolah lawas wis maju lan pribadi 15 babak, sekolah anyar babagan mbuwang pukulan liyane, gerakan sikil liyane lan gelut saka njaba. Aku mulang doffense: nimbali + pelanggaran. Punches dudu vitamin, ora ana sing kudu dijupuk. Tinju ora mung minangka perang refleks; siji pejuang mungsuh liyane, nanging trik nyata yaiku carane pejuang nggunakake reflekse. Aku mulang para pejuang babagan carane nggawe apron dering dadi tambang.”
Tinju duwe peran gedhe ing urip Cuellar. Bali ing 5th St. Gym minangka bab liyane ing urip sing unik.
“Aku urip liwat para pejuang,” Cuellar nyimpulake. “Saben kamenangan minangka wayahe paling bangga. Ora ana kamenangan sing gedhe utawa cilik, saben kemenangan dadi momen sing nyenengake amarga kabeh kerja keras lan ngorbanake aku lan pejuangku nalika latihan.”
Orlando Cuellar seneng banget amarga wis mbesuk mbesuk.
