And that being said, badakizu, Julio oso da, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. Eta orain, gora gara Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Besterik ez dut esan dezakezu hau — oso borroka honetan eskainitako, adimen, Fisikoki, and spiritually. He’s shown me that he’s willing to work very hard for this fight, which always works out well when a fighter cooperates in training. And he’s doing that 110 ehuneko.

Sam Colonna

Beno, lehenengoa, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Baina, badakizu, Julio Cesar Chavez bildu dute borroka aurretik, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, Julio Cesar Chavez 'Zer buruz,’ Esan nuen, ‘That’s the fight we want.’ The style is perfect for us. He comes right at us. And it’s going to be a great fight for Andrzej to show what the power and the dedication he has towards it. He knows that this fight here is going to bring him to the top. And it’s an honor to fight Julio Cesar Chavez. It’s somebody I wanted him to fight for years. But the weight was never the same. Andrzej moved up. And then now, it’s perfect. Beraz, nik borroka handi bat izango da. I think we’re going to bring a lot of action to this fight. And it’s going to be a jammed action fight. I’m glad that this fight happened. And I can’t wait for April 18.

K. Swanson

Ongi da. Eskerrik asko. Eta orain, azken baina ez gutxienez, Pare Julio Cesar Chavez Sr iruzkinak jaso nahi nuke. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Uztailaren?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Ezagutzen dut, nire semea, I know it’s a hard fight. It’s a difficult fight. And I didn’t want it. Fonfara is very strong. But my son wanted this fight. He wanted fighters that have a high category. He wanted a hard fight. And he believed that winning this fight will give him more credibility. And that’s why he chose Fonfara.

Q

This is for Chavez Jr. Uztailaren, nola ez, off datozen urte layoff bat sentitzen duzu?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Ondo sentitzen naiz. Badakit zaila dela zaudenean off. Zaila da zure erritmoaren berreskuratu. Baina prestakuntza izan naiz, working at my skills. And I think, badakizu, Oso seguru nago dut nire bizitza guztia eman dute delako boxeoa. Naiz 13an nire ibilbide profesionalaren urtean. Beraz, ez dut uste hori arazo bat da borroka honetan dagoelako 172 kilo. I don’t need to have a problem with weight. And at 172, I feel good in sparring. I feel good in training. And I think I’m ready for this fight and ready to win another world title.

Q

Munduko titulua egiten duten hitz, nola ez Adonis Stevenson eta Sergey Kovalev bezala mutilak sentitzen zara?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, Borroka honen ondoren, Behera noa den 168 eta pisu klase honetan egonaldia. Duela Bat edo bi urte mugitu nahi dut 175 baina hori izan zen gehiegi nire gorputza askoz. Orain, Naiz 168. Baina, Urte off, Borroka honetan da 172.

Q

Andrzej, nola fisikoki off datozen sentitzen duzu Adonis Stevenson batailaren?

A. Fonfara

Uste dut againstStevenson erakutsi dut borrokalaria zela dut. Fisikoki, Ona sentitzen dut orain. Borroka horretatik aurrera, I’ve been training much harder. Uste dut, borroka hori delako, Boxeolari hobea delako naiz, badakizu, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Gogor entrenatu dut borroka hau, bezalako, badakizu, Chavez says. He’s trained hard for this fight. But I always train hard. It doesn’t matter if it’s Chavez or whoever else, Beti gogor entrenatzen ari naiz.

Q

Hau bai Julio Jr da. and Sr. For Jr., jakina,, onura eta agian eragozpen bat da, gehiegi, to having such a famous name. Benefit is that everybody knows your father and what he accomplished. And that brings you attention early in your career as it has. The possible drawback is that you’re always going to be compared to him, bertan esango luke, ezinezkoa izan zen ia, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, Horri buruz zer, zama eta, besteak beste izen ospetsu bat izatea prestazioa?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Baina, badakizu, Nik uste dut hau abantaila bat da. Baina horrek ez du lagunduko dit Biribilean. Biribilean naiz frogatutako. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, bi zenbaki, Hiru zenbakia eta kopurua lau 168 kilo. Eta erakutsi dut denek, jendea, hori ezin dut borrokatzeko, gehiegi. Naiz borrokalaria ona eta (Borrokak ona jarri dut). Eta atsegin dute ikus nire borrokak. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, gehiegi, Fonfara estiloa da borrokatu etortzen, he’s a fighter with a great heart and great chin. And both of us will make a great fight.

J. Cesar Chavez Sr..

The name has helped. Jakina, lagundu Lortzen arreta, but we are very different. He — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. Eta, beraz,, there’s a lot of difference. Fisikoki, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Beraz, ez da ona eta txarra, and we understand that. Baina, bere borrokalari egin zuen besterik nahi izan dut.

Q

Am, you mentioned earlier that you had a lot of names mentioned for Andrzej before you finally settled on Chavez. Are you willing to reveal some of those names?

S. Zutabe

Badakizu zer? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Baina, han izan ziren, gutxienez hiru, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, I joan, 'Hori zentzuduna nahi dugu,’ delako, atsegin esan dut lehenago, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, badakizu? He’s going to be right there for us. Beraz, Estilo da benetan, ona benetan mistoa.

Q

Andrzej, zuk middleweight at borrokatu Nik, super middleweight, argi heavyweight. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, edo ez bazara benetako argi heavyweight bat sentitzen duzu?

A. Fonfara

Heavyweight borrokalaria argi bat naiz. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. I borrokatuko normalean 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, bezalako, bi, Hiru kilo delako behera, badakizu, denean Stevenson borrokatu dut iazko maiatzean, Nengoen 173 ondoren. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, badakizu? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

Q

Uztailaren Jr., nola erliebe bat askoz da zuek, azkenik, urte baten ondoren aurre? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Beraz, nola ez al da zuretzat sentitzen da azkenik duzu borroka bat sortu aurretik?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Ondo sentitzen naiz. Handia sentitzen dut, badakizu, because this problem offended me a lot mentally more than physically. But I’m really happy that this problem is better now. I have a fight in front of me. And you know, I’m not remembering anything about that. I’m just focusing on the fight April 18 Fonfara for. Ondo sentitzen naiz, Handia sentitzen dut. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Baina oso hunkituta itzuli izan naiz) eraztuna.

Q

Joe Goossen, Julio Cesar gaitasunak zein heavyweight zatiketa argi onenak dira itzultzearen?

J. Goossen

Beno, Lehenengo off, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Esan nahi dut, we’ve seen him box before. And we’ve seen him pressure before. I don’t want to tip my hand on what we’re going to do but we have studied the films. We’ve talked about the films of Andrzej. Eta, jakina,, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — funtsean, 172 is very close to 68. It’s a weight he’s fought at before. So I don’t think the weight is going to be a problem at all. The way he’s working right now and the weight he’s at right now, Hit ahal izateko goaz uste dut 172 mark quite easily. Baina, berriro, as far as what skills he has that we’re going to bring to the table is something that I think is private to us. But Julio Jr. is a multi-talented fighter. Just watching him spar yesterday, kutxa bat behar dugunean, he did it beautifully. And when we needed pressure in a few rounds, he pulled it off exactly how I like it. So I’m very confident that whatever style we bring and game plan we bring, berarekin arrakasta izan goaz.

Q

Ezin pisua duzu egiteko?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Bai. Sure. I’ll make 172 ordaindu dudalako $100,000 libra bakoitzeko (ez badut). Ezin dut diru-mota hori ordaindu. Inoiz ez dut pisatu baino gehiago 172 borroka batean. Egin nuen borroka bakarra 172 Brian Vera da, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, Nire txapelketa bouts guztietan (Inoiz ez dut ez zuen pisua egiteko). Ez dakit zergatik galdetu duzu,. Ongi da. Maybe, Borrokalari handiagoa naiz, badakizu? I know I am a bigger fighter. Baina, Ez dut arazorik izan. Eta (zen ez bada) ez egiteko pisua, agian, irabazi dut $100,000 gehiago.

Q

Beraz, Uztailaren, zuretzat asmoz ari $100,000 Andrzej Fonfara batetik, baina berak ez lukeela Espero esaten ari zaren $100,000 zuk?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Do Not, ez,. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, badakizu, delako (Arinagoa etorri naiz). Badakizu, pisua, nahiko ona da, bai borrokalari uste dut.

Q

Ezin zure erabakia Joe Goossen izan zure alde hitz egin orduko, Sentitzen duzu, Vera borrokaren ondorioz, Zale zor duzula performance bat?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Beno, I’ve known Joe Goossen for a long time. He’s a great trainer. He’s a great person. He’s somebody that motivates fighters. And we have a true connection. We’ve connected again. And I like him a lot. I like that he’s a hard worker, just like me. And I think, elkarrekin, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Esan ahal dut hori, this show is for the people. Honez borroka handi bat izango da. It’s going to be a better fight. Eta orain, Nire sustapena enpresa berria eta nor nire aurkari da aldez aurretik izango da jakitea batera, Uste dut gauean handi bat izango da.
