First we have Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., bývalý middleweight majster sveta, Andrzej Fonfara, Bývalý svetový titul challenger, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. — všetci vieme, kto to je, a iste von vzhľadom k veľkému legende, že je, Vítame ho na výzvu — Joe Goossen, kto je Juliova tréner, a Sam Colonna, kto je Fonfara tréner.

Tak, v tomto okamihu, čo by som chcel urobiť, je opýtať sa Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. aby úvodné slovo o tomto boji a trochu o tom, čo robí teraz v tréningovom kempe a ako sa cíti o boji.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

I’m training very well. I’m training (na vyššiu) level than the best. I’m doing more physical training (a ja som stále bližšie) Hmotnosť 172 libier. And I think I’m in great shape, Viete,? I have a lot of time and don’t stay in this kind of shape.

K. Swanson

Dobre. Now let’s hear from Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej, mohol by ste trochu pohovoriť a povedzte nám, čo si myslíte o boji proti Jr.?

Andrzej Fonfara

I’m feeling great. I think Chavez Jr. je veľký bojovník, majster sveta. And you know, it’s good fight for me. I trained hard for the fight. We got very good camp. Teraz, we start a sparring session. Viete, moja váha je dobrá. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, tiež. Then I’m back to Chicago. We finished camp here. And I’m–Viete,, Som pripravený na stretnúť Chávez v kruhu Apríl 18a ukázať mu, že som lepší boxer.

K. Swanson

Dobre. Excellent. Ďakujem mnohokrát. Next we’ll have the trainers say something very brief before we turn it over to the media for call. Tak, Joe Goossen, he is Julio Cesar Chavez’s trainer at this point. Joe, by ste chceli, aby sa pár pripomienok?

Joe Goossen

Ďakujem. Číslo jedna, 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, Viete,, Julio je veľmi, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. A teraz, sme sa v Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Môžem ti to len povedať, — je veľmi oddaný tomto boji, mentálne, fyzicky, 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 percento. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, číslo jedna, je potrebné pracovať s Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. A samozrejme, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til Apríl 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. Tak, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. S tým bolo povedané, ďakujem.

K. Swanson

Ďakujem. Teraz, Sam Colonna, ak by ste nám mohli dať komentár, a potom budeme otvoriť ho pre otázky.

Sam Colonna

Dobre, prvý, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Ale, Viete,, pred tým, než si vybral Julio Cesar Chavez k boju, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, "A čo Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Povedal som, ‘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. Tak, že to bude veľký boj. 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 Apríl 18.

K. Swanson

Dobre. Ďakujem. A teraz, v neposlednom rade, Rád by som, aby si pár komentárov od Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Júl?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Viem že, pre môjho syna, 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. Júl, Ako sa cítite, odíde za rok prepúšťací?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Cítim sa dobre. Ja viem, je to ťažké, keď ste preč. Je ťažké získať vaše načasovanie. Ale ja som bol tréning, working at my skills. And I think, Viete,, Som si veľmi istý, pretože som strávil celý svoj život v boxe. Som v 13. roku svojej profesionálnej kariéry. Takže si nemyslím, že je to problém, pretože tento boj je v 172 libier. 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

Keď už hovoríme o tej titul majstra sveta, Ako sa cítite, o ľudí, ako Adonis Stevenson a Sergej Kovaľov?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ach, these guys very strong. But I think, Po tomto boji, Idem dole na 168 a pobyt v tejto váhovej kategórii. Pred Jeden alebo dva rokmi som sa presťahoval do 175 ale to bolo príliš veľa pre moje telo. Teraz, Ja som 168. Ale, pre jedného roka off, tento boj je v 172.

Q

Andrzej, Ako sa cítite fyzicky odíde na Adonis Stevenson bitku?

A. Fonfara

Myslím, že som ukázal againstStevenson, že som bojovník. Fyzicky, Cítim sa dobre teraz. Od tej boja, I’ve been training much harder. Myslím, z dôvodu, že boje, Som lepší boxer, pretože, Viete,, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Ja som trénoval tvrdo pre tento boj, ako, Viete,, 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, Ja som vždy trénoval.

Q

To je ako Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., samozrejme, tam je výhoda a možná nevýhoda, tiež, 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, ktorých niektorí by povedali bolo takmer nemožné, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, čo o ​​tom, záťaž a prínos má také slávne meno?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Ale, Viete,, Myslím si, že je to výhoda. Ale to sa mi nepomôže v kruhu. Som preukázané v kruhu. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, číslo dva, číslo tri a číslo štyri na 168 libier. A ja som ukázal všetkým, ľudia, že môžem bojovať, tiež. Ja som dobrý bojovník a (Dal som na dobrých zápasov). A ľudia ako uvidíš boja. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, tiež, štýl Fonfara je prísť do boja, 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. Samozrejme, to pomohlo získať pozornosť, but we are very different. On — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Fyzicky, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Tak, je tu dobré a zlé, and we understand that. Ale, je to jeho vlastné bojovník rovnako ako som bol.

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. Stĺpec

Vy viete, čo? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Ale, tam boli najmenej tri, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Aj go, "To je ten chlap, chceme,’ pretože, ako som povedal už predtým, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, Viete,? He’s going to be right there for us. Tak, štýl je naozaj, naozaj zmiešaná dobrý.

Q

Andrzej, ste bojoval na strednej váhe, Super strednej, light heavyweight. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, Alebo máte pocit, že ste to pravé svetlo heavyweight?

A. Fonfara

Ja som svetlo heavyweight bojovník. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Zvyčajne som bojovať 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, ako, dve, tri libra dole, pretože, Viete,, keď som bojoval Stevenson minulý rok v máji, Bol som 173 potom. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, Viete,? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

Q

Júla Jr., koľko z opatrení je to pre vás konečne bojovať po roku? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Tak, aké to je, aby ste vedeli, máte konečne bojovať vpredu?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Cítim sa dobre. Cítim sa skvele, Viete,, 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 Apríl 18 pre Fonfara. Cítim sa dobre, Cítim sa skvele. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Ale ja som veľmi nadšený, že sa vráti) k prstencu.

Q

Joe Goossen, ktorý z zručností Julio Cesar sa prejavujú najviac na svetle heavyweight divízie?

J. Goossen

Dobre, Prvý off, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Mám na mysli, 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. A samozrejme, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — v podstate, 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, Myslím si, že budeme mať možnosť zasiahnuť 172 mark quite easily. Ale, znova, 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, keď sme potrebovali krabici, 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, budeme mať úspech s ním.

Q

Mohli by ste to urobiť váhu?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Áno. Sure. I’ll make 172 preto, že som platiť $100,000 za libru (keď nie). Nemôžem platiť také peniaze. Nikdy som vážil viac ako 172 v boji. Iba boj som 172 je s Brianom Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, vo všetkých mojich majstrovstiev záchvaty (Nikdy som neurobil váhu). Ja neviem, prečo sa ma pýtate, že. Dobre. Maybe, Som väčší bojovník, Viete,? I know I am a bigger fighter. Ale, Nemám problémy. A (Ak sa mu to) nie, aby sa hmotnosť, možno budem vyhrať $100,000 viac.

Q

Tak, Júl, ste dúfal, že pre $100,000 od Andrzej Fonfara, ale vy hovoríte, že by nemal nádej na $100,000 od vás?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Do Not, nie. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, Viete,, pretože (Prišiel som na ľahšie). Viete, váha je celkom dobre myslím, že pre oba bojovníci.

Q

Môžeš hovoriť o svoje rozhodnutie mať Joe Goossen v kúte, máte pocit,, v dôsledku boja Vera, že dlhujete fanúšikov predstavenie?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Dobre, 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, spolu, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Môžem vám povedať, že, this show is for the people. Je to bude veľký boj. It’s going to be a better fight. A teraz, s mojou novú pomoc spoločnosti a s vedomím, kto je môj súper bude v predstihu, Myslím, že to bude skvelý večer.
