Joe Goossen

Matur nuwun. Nomer siji, I want to thank SHOWTIME because we’re very excited about performing for SHOWTIME on Julio’s debut fight with SHOWTIME. And that being said, ngerti, Julio banget, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. Lan saiki, kita lagi munggah ing Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Aku mung bisa pitutur marang kowe iki — banget darmabakti kanggo perang iki, ngengingi babagan mental, fisik, 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 persen. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, nomer siji, kanggo bisa digunakake karo Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Lan mesthi, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til April 18 to display all of Julio’s talents and to go there. And we’ve got one objective. And that’s to win the fight. With the way Julio’s training, I’m very confident in what we’re doing right now. Dadi, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. Karo kang ngandika, matur nuwun.

K. Swanson

Matur nuwun. Saiki, Sam Colonna, yen sampeyan bisa menehi kita komentar, banjur kita bakal mbukak munggah kanggo pitakonan.

Sam Colonna

Inggih, pisanan, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Nanging, ngerti, sadurunge padha ngangkat Julio Cesar Chavez kanggo perang, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, 'Apa bab Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Aku ngandika, ‘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. Dadi, iku arep dadi perang gedhe. 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

Oke. Matur nuwun. Lan saiki, pungkasan nanging ora paling, Aku 'd kaya kanggo njaluk saperangan komentar saka Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Juli?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Aku ngerti sing, anakku, 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. Juli, carane kowe aran teka mati layoff taun?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Aku aran apik. Aku ngerti iku angel nalika sampeyan lagi mati. Iku angel kanggo ngranggeh wektu Panjenengan. Nanging aku wis latihan, working at my skills. And I think, ngerti, Aku banget manteb ing ati amarga aku wis ngginakaken kabeh urip ing boxing. Aku ing taun 13th saka karir profesional sandi. Aku ora mikir iki masalah amarga perang iki ing 172 kilogram. 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

Ngandika saka irah-irahan donya, carane kowe aran babagan wong lanang kaya Adonis Stevenson lan Sergey Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, sawise perang iki, Aku arep mudhun kanggo 168 lan nginep ing bobot kelas iki. Siji utawa loro taun kepungkur aku dipindhah menyang 175 nanging sing ana kakehan kanggo awak. Saiki, Aku 168. Nanging, kanggo setahun mati, perang iki ing 172.

Q

Andrzej, carane kowe aran fisik teka mati ing perang Adonis Stevenson?

A. Fonfara

Aku nuduhake againstStevenson sing aku fighter. Fisik, Aku aran apik saiki. Wiwit perang sing, I’ve been training much harder. Aku, amarga saka perang sing, Aku boxer luwih amarga, ngerti, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Aku wis dilatih hard kanggo perang iki, kaya, ngerti, 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, Aku tansah latihan hard.

Q

Iki kanggo loro Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., temenan, wonten manfaat lan Mungkin drawback, banget, 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, kang sawetara bakal ngomong ana meh mokal, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, apa bab sing, beban lan entuk manfaat saka gadhah kuwi jeneng misuwur?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Nanging, ngerti, Aku iki minangka kauntungan. Nanging iki ora bantuan kula ring. Aku buktiaken ring. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, nomer loro, nomer telu lan nomer papat ing 168 kilogram. Lan aku wis nuduhake everybody, wong, aku bisa perang, banget. Aku fighter apik lan (Aku sijine ing gelut apik). Lan tiyang-tiyang kaya weruh gelut sandi. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, banget, gaya Fonfara punika teka kanggo perang, 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. Temenan, iku mbantu njaluk bantuan manungsa waé, but we are very different. Panjenenganipun — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Fisik, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Dadi, ana apik lan ala, and we understand that. Nanging, kang fighter dhewe kaya aku.

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. Column

Sampeyan ngerti apa? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Nanging, ana ing paling telung, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Aku lunga, 'Sing wong kita arep,’ amarga, kaya aku ngandika sadurungé, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, ngerti? He’s going to be right there for us. Dadi, gaya punika saestu, tenan campuran apik.

Q

Andrzej, sampeyan wis perang ing Men, super Men, abot cahya. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, utawa ora sing aran sampeyan lagi cahya abot bener?

A. Fonfara

Aku pejuang abot cahya. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Aku biasane perang ing 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, kaya, loro, telung kilogram mudhun amarga, ngerti, nalika aku nempuh perang Stevenson pungkasan taun ing Mei, Aku 173 banjur. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, ngerti? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

Q

Juli Jr., pinten relief iku kanggo sampeyan pungkasanipun perang sawise taun? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Dadi, carane ora iku aran kanggo sampeyan ngerti sampeyan pungkasanipun duwe perang munggah ahead?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Aku aran apik. Aku aran gedhe, ngerti, 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 kanggo Fonfara. Aku aran apik, Aku aran gedhe. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Nanging aku bungah banget dadi bali) kanggo dering.

Q

Joe Goossen, kang skills Julio Cesar translating sing paling apik kanggo divisi abot cahya?

J. Goossen

Inggih, pisanan mati, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Maksudku, 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. Lan mesthi, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — Sejatine, 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, Aku mikir kita lagi arep bisa kanggo mencet 172 mark quite easily. Nanging, maneh, 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, nalika kita needed kothak, 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, kita lagi arep dadi sukses karo.

Q

Sampeyan bisa nggawe bobot?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ya. Sure. I’ll make 172 amarga aku mbayar $100,000 saben pound (yen aku ora). Aku ora bisa mbayar sing jenis dhuwit. Aku wis tau bobot luwih saka 172 ing perang. Mung perang aku digawe 172 karo Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, ing kabeh bouts juara sandi (Aku tau durung nggawe bobot). Aku ora ngerti apa sing takon kula sing. Oke. Maybe, Aku pejuang ageng, ngerti? I know I am a bigger fighter. Nanging, Aku ora duwe masalah. Lan (yen ora) ora nggawe bobot, Mungkin aku bakal menang $100,000 liyane.

Q

Dadi, Juli, sampeyan lagi wus kanggo $100,000 saka Andrzej Fonfara, nanging sampeyan lagi matur bilih piyambakipun ngirim ora duwe pangarep-arep kanggo $100,000 saka sampeyan?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Aja, ora. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, ngerti, amarga (Aku teka ing korek). Sampeyan ngerti, bobot punika cantik apik aku mikir kanggo loro pejuang.

Q

Sampeyan bisa pirembagan bab keputusane duwe Joe Goossen ing sudhut Panjenengan, sing aran, minangka asil saka perang Vera, sing utang pembuangan kinerja?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Inggih, 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, bebarengan, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Aku pitutur marang kowe sing, this show is for the people. Iku arep dadi perang gedhe. It’s going to be a better fight. Lan saiki, karo perusahaan promosi sandi anyar lan ngerti sing sandi mungsuh wis arep dadi ing advance, Aku iku arep dadi wengi gedhe.
