Chris DeBlasio
Paldies, Kelly. I’m going to keep this brief. I know we want to talk to the fighters on this card. But I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t represent for Stephen Espinoza, who couldn’t be on the call today, cik ļoti satraukti mēs esam par debijas Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. mūsu tīklā Sestdiena, Aprīlis 18, mūsu Showtime ČEMPIONĀTS boksa doubleheader. Tas būs liels nakts. On the call with us and in the ring across from Julio Chavez Jr. Šajā naktī ir Andrzej Fonfara, a man that we know that really comes to fight. He brought it on his first fight on SHOWTIME last year when he fought Adonis Stevenson. And that was a thrilling affair. And we’re looking forward to a real test and a great challenge for Chavez Jr. And we’re excited to have him on behalf of all of us at SHOWTIME. We welcome both of you guys and, protams, thanks to all the press for being on the call. Paldies, Kelly.
K. Swanson
Paldies, visi. Labi. We’re going to go ahead and introduce the fighters and their trainers for you. First we have Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., bijušais middleweight pasaules čempions, Andrzej Fonfara, bijušais pasaules virsraksts Challenger, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. — Mēs visi zinām, kas viņš ir, un, protams, aiz cieņas pret lielo leģendu, ka viņš ir, mēs atbalstām viņu aicinājumam — Joe Goossen, kurš ir Julio ir treneris, un Sam Colonna, kurš ir Fonfara ir treneris.
Tik, šajā laikā, ko es gribētu darīt, ir lūgt Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. lai atverot piezīmes par šo cīņu un mazliet par to, ko viņš dara tagad treniņnometnē un vienkārši, kā viņš jūtas par cīņu.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
I’m training very well. I’m training (at augstāku) level than the best. I’m doing more physical training (un es saņemu tuvāk) svars 172 mārciņas. And I think I’m in great shape, jūs zināt? I have a lot of time and don’t stay in this kind of shape.
K. Swanson
Labi. Now let’s hear from Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej, jūs varētu runāt mazliet un pastāstīt mums, kā jūs jūtaties par cīņu Jr.?
Andrzej Fonfara
I’m feeling great. I think Chavez Jr. ir lielisks cīnītājs, pasaules čempions. And you know, it’s good fight for me. I trained hard for the fight. We got very good camp. Tagad, we start a sparring session. Jūs zināt,, mans svars ir labs. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, pārāk. Then I’m back to Chicago. We finished camp here. And I’m–jūs zināt, Es esmu gatavs tikties Čavesu ringā Aprīlis 18un parādīt viņam es esmu labāks bokseris.
K. Swanson
Labi. Excellent. Liels tev paldies. Next we’ll have the trainers say something very brief before we turn it over to the media for call. Tik, Joe Goossen, he is Julio Cesar Chavez’s trainer at this point. Joe, Jūs vēlētos veikt pāris komentārus?
Joe Goossen
Paldies. Numur viens, 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, jūs zināt, Julio ir ļoti, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. Un tagad, mēs esam up Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Es varu tikai pateikt jums šo — ir ļoti veltīta šo cīņu, garīgi, fiziski, 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 procents. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, numur viens, kas strādā ar Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Un, protams,, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til Aprīlis 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. Tik, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. Ar šo tiek teica, paldies.
K. Swanson
Paldies. Tagad, Sam Colonna, ja jūs varētu dot mums komentāru, un tad mēs atveriet to uz jautājumiem.
Sam Colonna
Labi, pirmais, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Bet, jūs zināt, pirms viņi izvēlējās Julio Cesar Chavez, lai cīņu, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, "Kas par Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Es teicu, ‘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. Tik, it’s going to be a great fight. 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 Aprīlis 18.
K. Swanson
Labi. Paldies. Un tagad, Pēdējais, bet ne mazāk, Es gribētu, lai iegūtu pāris komentārus no Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Jūlijs?
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
I didn’t want this fight. ES to zinu, par savu dēlu, 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. Jūlijs, Kā jūs jūtaties nenokrītot gadu layoff?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
Es jūtos labi. Es zinu, tas ir grūti, kad tu esi off. Tas ir grūti, lai atgūtu savu laiku. Bet es esmu bijis apmācība, working at my skills. And I think, jūs zināt, Es esmu ļoti pārliecināts, jo esmu pavadījis visu savu dzīvi boksa. Es esmu 13 gadu manā profesionālajā karjerā. Tāpēc es nedomāju, ka tas ir problēma, jo šī cīņa ir 172 mārciņas. 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
Runājot par šīs pasaules titulu, Kā jūs jūtaties par džekiem kā Adonis Stevenson un Sergejs Kovalev?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
Ak, these guys very strong. But I think, Pēc šīs cīņas, Es dodos uz leju, lai 168 un palikt šajā svara kategorijā. Pirms viena vai diviem gadiem es pārcēlos uz 175 bet tas bija pārāk daudz par manu ķermeni. Tagad, Es esmu 168. Bet, par vienu gadu off, šī cīņa ir 172.
Q
Andrzej, Kā jūs jūtaties fiziski nāk pie Adonis Stevenson kaujas?
A. Fonfara
Es domāju, ka es parādīja againstStevenson, ka man bija cīnītājs. Fiziski, Es jūtos labi tagad. Kopš šīs cīņas, I’ve been training much harder. Es domāju, ka, tāpēc, ka cīņa, Es esmu labāks bokseris, jo, jūs zināt, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Es esmu apmācīts grūti par šo cīņu, tāpat, jūs zināt, 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, Es esmu vienmēr mācību grūti.
Q
Tas ir gan Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., acīmredzot, tur ir labums un varbūt trūkums, pārāk, 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, ko daži teiktu bija gandrīz neiespējami, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, ko par to, slogs un ieguvums, kam šāds slaveno vārdu?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Bet, jūs zināt, Es domāju, ka tas ir priekšrocība. Bet tas nepalīdz man gredzenu. Es esmu pierādīta gredzenu. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, numurs divi, numur trīs un numurs, četriem 168 mārciņas. Un es esmu parādīja visiem, cilvēki, ka es varu cīnīties, pārāk. Es esmu labs cīnītājs un (Man par labu cīņas). Un cilvēki, piemēram, redzēt savu cīņas. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, pārāk, stils Fonfara ir nākt cīnīties, 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. Acīmredzot, tas palīdzēja iegūt uzmanību, but we are very different. Viņš — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. Un tā, there’s a lot of difference. Fiziski, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Tik, tur ir labs un slikts, and we understand that. Bet, viņš ir viņa paša cīnītājs, tāpat kā es biju.
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. Kolonna
Jūs zināt, kas? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Bet, tur bija vismaz trīs, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Es eju, "Tas ir puisis, mēs gribam,’ jo, tāpat kā es teicu iepriekš, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, jūs zināt? He’s going to be right there for us. Tik, stils ir patiešām, tiešām jaukta labs.
Q
Andrzej, Jūs esat cīnījās pie middleweight, super middleweight, gaismas smagiem. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, vai jūs jūtaties jūs esat īsts gaismas smagiem?
A. Fonfara
Es esmu gaismas smagiem cīnītājs. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Es parasti cīņa pie 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, tāpat, divi, 3 £ leju, jo, jūs zināt, kad es cīnījos Stevenson pagājušā gada maijā, Es biju 173 tad. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, jūs zināt? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.
Q
Jūlijs Jr., cik daudz atvieglojumu, ir, lai jūs varētu beidzot cīnīties pēc gada? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Tik, Kāda ir sajūta, lai jūs zināt, ka jums beidzot ir cīņa priekšā?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
Es jūtos labi. Es jūtos lieliski, jūs zināt, 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 Aprīlis 18 par Fonfara. Es jūtos labi, Es jūtos lieliski. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Bet es esmu ļoti satraukti par atgriešanos) gredzenu.
Q
Joe Goossen, kas iemaņu Julio Cesar tulkojot labākais gaismas smagiem sadalīšanu?
J. Goossen
Labi, Pirmais off, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Es domāju, 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. Un, protams,, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — būtībā, 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, Es domāju, ka mēs ejam, lai varētu hit 172 mark quite easily. Bet, atkal, 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, kad mums vajadzēja kasti, 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, mēs ejam, lai būtu veiksmīga ar to.
Q
Vai jūs veicat svaru?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
Jā. Sure. I’ll make 172 jo man ir jāmaksā $100,000 per mārciņu (ja man nav). Es nevaru samaksāt šāda veida naudas. Es nekad neesmu svēra vairāk nekā 172 cīņa. Tikai cīņa es 172 ir ar Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, visas manas čempionāta bouts (Es nekad nepieļāva svaru). Es nezinu, kāpēc tu man jautā, ka. Labi. Maybe, Es esmu lielāks cīnītājs, jūs zināt? I know I am a bigger fighter. Bet, Man nav problēmu. Un (ja viņš) nepadara svaru, varbūt es uzvarēt $100,000 vairāk.
Q
Tik, Jūlijs, jūs cerot $100,000 no Andrzej Fonfara, bet jūs sakāt, ka viņam nevajadzētu cerēt uz $100,000 no jums?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
Do Not, nav. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, jūs zināt, jo (Man nāk vieglāks). Jūs zināt,, svars ir diezgan labi es domāju gan cīnītājiem.
Q
Vai jūs varat runāt par savu lēmumu ir Džo Goossen savā stūrī, jūs jūtaties, kā rezultātā Vera cīņā, ka jūs esat parādā fani sniegumu?
J. Cesar Chavez Jr.
Labi, 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, kopā, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Es varu pateikt, ka, this show is for the people. Tas būs liels cīņa. It’s going to be a better fight. Un tagad, ar savu jauno veicināšanai uzņēmums un zinot, kas mans pretinieks būs iepriekš, Es domāju, ka tas būs liels nakts.
