“I had a hard life so yes, I am angry with him.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.

“I had all Mexico and the world at my feet at that time. But it still didn’t fill the void…So what was it that I looked for? The easiest and stupidest things…drugs and alcohol.” – Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr.

 

TSHIAB YORK (Plaub Hlis Ntuj 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Puav pheej-winning series TXHUA ACCESS returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara rau Saturday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 18, nyob rau SHOWTIME (10 p.m. THIAB/ 7 p.m. PT) los ntawm cov StubHub Center nyob rau hauv Carson, California.

TXHUA ACCESS: Chavez is written and reported by SHOWTIME Sports contributor Mark Kriegel. Author of acclaimed biographies “The Good Son: The Life of Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini” and “Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” Kriegel has long focused on the conflicts and complexities that beset fathers and sons in sports.

 

With unprecedented access to the young star–Mexico’s first and only middleweight world champion–and his famous father, TXHUA ACCESSuncovers the stormy yet loving relationship between Junior and his legendary father.

 

No question remains unanswered in a series of interviews at Junior’s high-altitude camp in Lake Tahoe, where his father once trained. What was it like to grow up as the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter? What price does a fighter pay for drugs and alcohol? And what does it do to his family?

 

Only the ending remains in doubt: Is Junior being punished for the sins of his father, or is he doomed to repeat them?

 

“Fame can be a disease, like addiction,” says Kriegel. “And this family has battled both. Junior and Senior weren’t merely candid. They were confessional. Thiab, Kuv xav hais tias, courageous, too.”

 

Nrog TXHUA ACCESS cameras entrenched in camp, viewers will meet three generations of Mexico’s most famous fighting family as the 29-year-old Junior navigates a crossroads of his career.

Quebec NROOG, Quebec (Plaub Hlis Ntuj 1, 2015) – During Wednesday tus final press conference at Le Bonne Entente in Quebec City, both Adonis “Superman” Stevenson thiab Sakio “Lub Roob ris teb” Taurus promised a knockout when they meet in the main event of the debut presentation of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) rau CBSTelevision Network this Saturday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4, ntawm 3 p.m. THIAB/Tav su PT.

 

The hard-hitting Stevenson (25-1, 21 Kos) will defend his light heavyweight world championship against former super middleweight world champion Bika (32-6-3, 21 Kos) in the main event from the Pepsi Coliseum nyob rau hauv Quebec City.

 

The case was the same with the co-main event fighters as both undefeated light heavyweight and two-time Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7 Kos) and former light heavyweight world champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 12 Kos) expected to win via KO no hnub vas xaum yav tav su. Campillo, sporting a Tom Brady jersey, even promised he would win in dramatic fashion like this year’s Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and trainers from Wednesday tus xovxwm sablaj:

 

Adonis Stevenson:

I know Sakio is going to try to take my title, but I’m prepared for that.

 

I know he was a champion. I made the move from 168 rau 175 pounds and it worked well for me. I expect him to bring his best at 175 phaus. He’s a former champ so I’m preparing to face a champion.

 

I’m looking for the KO because I’m from the Kronk Gym. Knockouts sell. But I can go 12 rounds, that’s not a problem. I train for 12 rounds.

 

My trainer has given me a great plan. He knows Sakio Bika very well and we’ll see what happens in the ring.

 

Bika is still going to have the same power moving up in weight. He should actually be stronger.

 

I’m very focused because I know Bika is very dangerous. I know he’s going to come into the ring and try to give me trouble.

 

I’m a knockout artist. I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I’m a knockout artist.

 

I’d love to unify the belts eventually, but I’ll let my manager Al Haymon take care of that.

 

My mentor Emanuel Steward always told me that as soon as I enter the ring the knockout is what sells. I’ll definitely be going for the knockout no hnub vas xaum on CBS.

 

I’m ready to go toe-to-toe. Adonis Stevenson vs. Sakio Bika on CBS, baby.

 

 

Saki Bull:

To beat a great fighter you have to be your best. I’m looking to take the WBC title back home.

 

I’ve fought everyoneI’ve never ducked an opponentand I don’t know if he can handle the pressure.

 

I feel more comfortable at 175 phaus. I want to test the big boy [Stevenson] and I feel like I can do that. Nyob rau hnub Saturday we’ll see.

 

He’s knocked people out, tab sis kuv twb tsis tau lov. Nyob rau hnub Saturday I’ll be the one to knock him out.

 

I’m very hungry to get a world title back. I trained very hard at light heavyweight to get a title back.

 

I didn’t come here to Canada just to walk and look around. I came here to take this belt back home and I’m very confident I’m going to do that.

 

Training camp went very well, we put in good work and now we’re here in Canada ready to shock the world.

 

 

JAVANSUGARHILL:

Training camp was very good as always. Nothing different, just hard work perfecting his boxing and the basic fundamentals. We’re looking for him to make a mistake and catch him.

 

The way you prepare for an unorthodox fighter like Bika is to make sure your basics are sound. You have to have a good jab, you have to have good movement and you have to have ‘super powerAnd I have “Superman.

 

Emanuel also told me the knockout sells. It’s something that we both know and it’s something that is imbedded in us. We’re looking for the knockout on Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. Sometimes I see things that Adonis is looking to do before he does it. So I’ll just be sitting there waiting for Adonis to catch Sakio Bika making a mistake and getting a knockout.

 

I’m super proud to represent Kronk Gym. That’s why I wear my hat here. Kronk to me is like my family name and that’s what I live by. I was born into Kronk when I was a little kid going to a tournament with my uncle Emanuel and all I remember is the Kronk fighters winning. And that’s what I do now: yeej.

 

Adonis is an artist, he’s a KO artist. Kuv twv ua ntej rau Saturday is a knockout on CBS.

 

There’s been a lot of talk and now it’s time for action. Toe-to-toe on Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. Tsis txhob nco nws.”

 

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM:

“Peb muaj ib tug yawm kev kawm camp. Everyone was relaxed. We had great sparring.

 

He was making 168 pretty easy, but stepping up he’s able to eat whatever he wants. The weight is good. We think he’s going to be good and strong at 175. It’s a good move for him.

 

He’s never had any problems with power, so I think the extra weight and energy should be good for him at light heavyweight.

 

All this talk about Stevenson fighting (Sergey) Kovalev has motivated him pretty good. I think it gave him a pretty good picture of how the business of boxing works. He realizes that when the bell rings he needs to do something about it and he’s motivated by that.

 

I can’t say if Stevenson is overlooking him because I’m not around him enough. But I know the fans and media want to make the Kovalev fight. It was good for Bika to hear that because it motivated him. He knows he has an opportunity to do something about it. Nyob rau hnub Saturday afternoon he can change all that.

 

If Stevenson does what he says he’s going to domeet him in the center of the ring and go toe-to-toethis is going to be a tremendous fight.

 

If he comes to the center of the ring and fights and goes toe-to-toe then this fight won’t go the distance. If Stevenson comes to trade I think he gets knocked out. If he runs around the ring and boxes then it could be a different outcome.

 

 

ARTUR BETERBIEV:

I don’t think this is a big challenge for me. I’m ready to face the world champions and raise the bar higher. This is just another opponent for me.

 

This is another step that will move me closer to facing the champions at 175 phaus. I want to put on a solid fight and show that I’m one of the best fighters in this division.

 

A knockout is never a goal for me. I’m trying to show my work and my dedication in the ring, but usually that’s what happens. Usually I finish with a knockout but that is not my main goal. My main goal is to box and show my skills.

 

My motivation is to face the champions. That’s why I work so hard every day in the gym. I will get there soon.

 

Why not face Kovalev? Kuv npaj txhij. When I turned professional my goal was to meet the champions. He’s a champion now and I’d like to face the champions.

 

 

Gabriel Campillo:

We started training Jan. 1 and camp has been very good. We’ve been working very hard and I think I’m in great condition for this fight.

 

Beterbiev may not have a lot of professional experience, but he’s had a very long amateur career. So we know that he’s ready and is a good opponent for us. We’ll see how he handles things once we get past the 5th, 6th thiab 7th rounds.

 

To get ready for a hard-hitter like Beterbiev required lots of conditioning training. We worked the neck and the chin a lot. We think we’ve got a great chance in the second half of this fight though considering Beterbiev hasn’t really been tested like that.

 

As for a prediction, I’m going to knock Beterbiev out in the seventh round.

Koj paub, lub hom khoom xws li Bika yog qus thiab tau qhia nws tuaj–koj paub, he just keep coming. The kind of stuff like that, I love this kind of stuff because he’s large and keep pressuring. And so, nws qhia tau hais tias yog koj ua yuam kev li ntawd ces nws yuav yog ib lub knockout sai sai nyob rau hauv lub sib ntaus.

Q

Kuv lo lus nug yog rau “Qab Zib” Hill. “Qab Zib”, Kuv cia li xav paub hais tias koj twb txaus siab nrog rau hauv cov style uas tau xaiv rau no tom ntej sib ntaus, yog tias qhov no yog lub hom xeem koj saib rau raws li ib tug kws qhia.

S. Hill

Raws li deb raws li tab tom nrhiav rau ib tug style rau Adonis mus tua–and actually it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m happy with the selection of Sakio Bika. I have no problem with his style. I actually like the style because he’s coming forward. He wants to fight, and Adonis loves to fight. Adonis likes to go to toe-to-toe, and he likes to box. This is important for the maturity and, rau Adonis kawm ntxiv txog boxing yuav tsum tau yuav tsum tau nyob rau hauv nws nrog ib tug dav hlau tua rog zoo li Sakio Bika, uas yog ib tug muaj zog, txiav txim siab thiab nyuaj qub tub rog uas tau withstand. He can take a punch. He’s never been knocked out or anything like that. Yog li ntawd, qhov no yog ib lub sij hawm rau Adonis rau tej zaum mus 12 rounds los yog mus rau hauv lub tom qab rounds, uas yuav tsim thiab ntxiv rau nws cov hauj lwm raws li sib ntaus sib tua nyob rau hauv tom qab rounds, uas nws tau muaj peev xwm ua. No sib ntaus ntawm no nrog Bika yog ib txoj kev kuaj, thiab Adonis hlub yuav tsum tau soj ntsuam kuaj. I love for him to be tested as well. This is the only thing that’s going to make him grow and become more of a talented fighter and become a bigger superstar.

Q

Adonis, yog koj nrhiav nyob rau hauv ib tug nyuaj 12 puag ncig kev sib ntaus los yog koj saib nws raws li txug raws li ua thawj mus khob qhov no txiv leej tub tawm yog hais tias caij rau nws?

A. Stevenson

It is motivation for me. That’s why I train very hard. I know he’s large as well in his punch. And he wants to keep me pressured. I love this kind of style. And if he goes for 12 rounds Kuv npaj txhij rau 12 rounds. I fight and spar. My fight is, sparing thiab cob qhia rau cov 12 rounds.When kuv tau nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib, Kuv tab tom nrhiav rau cov knockout. I don’t look for the 12 puag ncig. If he goes the distance or 12 rounds, this is not a problem. Kuv yuav lub thawv. I’m beautiful. I got a good skill. I’m a Superman. Yog li ntawd, it’s not a problem for me. Tab sis, first I’m looking for a knockout. And I think any boxer going in the ring to fight always looks for a knockout. Tej zaum, it’s not like that. Tab sis, kuv, Kuv tab tom nrhiav rau cov knockout. And Emanuel said knockouts sell.

Q

You said that you weren’t impressed with Kovalev’s performance over Jean Pascal. Do you want to put on a better performance? Do you feel pressure to put on a better performance since you said that? What do you think about that?

A. Stevenson

I’m not going to put pressure on myself. “Superman” tsis xav tias siab. Kuv yuav siv kuv boxing kev txawj, thiab kuv yuav mus siv kuv lub taub hau nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib. I don’t have to put pressure on something like that. I don’t feel like that. I’m the man. I’m the guy to get beat.

Q

Yog Sakio Bika thawj tus nrog sib ntaus lawv muab rau koj?

A. Stevenson

Hmoob, it was the first. He was the first to open. We’re happy, and we don’t have a problem. And I know Sakio he was light–ua tsis tau, super middleweight champion. It’s very good, vim hais tias nws yog ib tug zoo boxer. He was champion last two fights. That’s a good opportunity for him, heev, mus los ntawm lub teeb ib tug Heavyweight mus tua kuv. And it’s a good opportunity for me, heev.

Q

Kuv xav nug koj nyob li cas point koj puas tau hais rau koj tus kheej, “Kuv muaj sib ntaus,” los yog “Kuv xav mus tua Sergey Kovalev los koom ua tag nrho cov koj cov menyuam nyob rau hauv division.” At what point did you say that in your career?

A. Stevenson

I don’t think about Kovalev now. I think about Bika. It doesn’t matter what I said now because I have a fight coming up with Bika. Tab sis, kom kuv xav sib ntaus rau lub npe, tab sis tam sim no–rau tam sim no kuv twb tau txais Bika nyob rau hauv kuv lub ntsej muag.

Q

Koj twb tsis qhuas nrog rau txoj kev uas Kovalev ntsia nyob rau hauv lub sib ntaus rau lwm lub lim tiam tiv thaiv Pascal. Yog vim li cas?

A. Stevenson

I’m not impressed by it because this is the first big fight Pascal had since Bernard and he fights one time a year before Bernard Hopkins. Yog li ntawd, in four years he fights one time. Yog li ntawd, yog vim li cas kuv tsis impressed txog hais tias, vim hais tias Pascal tsis yog ib tug active boxer zoo li nws siv yuav rov qab nyob rau hauv lub hnub.

 

Q

Koj paub hais tias Kovalev, because of the WBC is going to be mandatory. I want to know how hard will you press for that mandatory if you’re successful again.

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm, Kuv paub. I’m ready to fight a title. Tab sis, Kuv cia kuv pab neeg, Al HAYMON, tu txog hais tias. Then after that Kovalev we can unify the title. It’s not a problem for me because the two titles he gets now he gets Bernard Hopkins’ title, thiab kuv yuav tsum tua Bernard Hopkins.

Q

Qhov no yog ib sib ntaus uas yuav yuav nyob rau lub teb chaws TV nyob rau hauv lub tebchaws United States, free TV. Have you given any thought about the fact that you’ll be performing in front of an audience probably bigger than has ever seen you fight ever?

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm. This is a good opportunity for that. And first of all, Kuv xav ua tsaug rau Al Haymon rau cov uas, heev, vim hais tias, that’s him putting on the show. And since Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, back in the day it was free. Tam sim no, we offer the public the fight for free and that’s a great opportunity for me. Yog li ntawd, I have a good performance for Sakio Bika. Tab sis, I know Sakio Bika is a tough opponent and he’s very awkward and tough. We’ll prepare for that, thiab peb npaj txhij. Nws kuj yog zoo heev rau cov hluas cov me nyuam, saib kev sib ntaus. Nws yog ib tug zoo lub sij hawm rau txhua leej txhua tus.

Q

Nrog cov uas loj tej zaum cov neeg tuaj saib watching yuav tsis hais tias muab tso rau koj nyob rau hauv ib txoj hauj lwm uas koj tab tom nrhiav rau ib tug knockout?

A. Stevenson

Ntawm chav kawm. That gives me a lot of motivation. That’s why I train really hard for this fight and watch–kom cov neeg saib kuv. Since Muhammad Ali, I’m the first to be poor and the projects. Yog li ntawd, Kuv heev, zoo siab heev, and I’m going to put a good performance. Like Emanuel said, knockouts muag.

Q

Adonis, qhov twg yog koj cob lub lim tiam no? Thiab ces, thaum koj ua tau mus Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

You know I opened a new gym in Quebec City. This is a good opportunity for me to train in my hometown. This is the first time since 2011. Kuv yuav saib tau kuv tus me nyuam yaus, heev. Yog li ntawd, Kuv hlub uas. And we train very hard, kuv thiab kuv tus kws qhia. We put the hard work pay off. This is different. This is a good opportunity for me, thiab kuv hlub uas.

Q

Yog li ntawd, koj nyob rau hauv Quebec City tam sim no ces?

A. Stevenson

I’m in Montreal now. Quebec City, Kuv yuav lub lim tiam no.

Q

Yog li ntawd, thaum yuav koj yeej mus rau Quebec City?

A. Stevenson

Sunday.

Q

Dua, my question goes to Adonis. I just want to know if a knockout is the result that you absolutely need or would you be disappointed if you didn’t win by a knockout against Bika?

A. Stevenson

I know Bika is a tough opponent. Yog li ntawd, Kuv npaj rau 12 rounds. Yog hais tias tus knockout yog muaj, it’s there. If it’s not, it’s not. Tab sis, nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib, Kuv tab tom nrhiav rau cov knockout. Yog li ntawd, nws tsis txawv rau kuv, but I’m always looking for the knockout. That’s a Kronk. The Kronk Gym and my team we’re looking for that. Since the Kronk it’s been a while. They’re always looking for the knockout. If you’re training in the Kronk Gym and any fighter is looking for the knockout.

Q

Tab sis, nws yuav ua tau txaus ntshai rau yeej ib txwm yuav tsum tau nrhiav ib tug knockout vim hais tias ces yog tias koj tsis tau txais nws li sai sai raws li koj xav ces koj yuav tau deb ntawm koj style ntawm boxing. Is that something that worries you?

A. Stevenson

Peb yuav tau mus 12 puag ncig. It’s not a problem for me. We train for that. We train for that. I can go 12 puag ncig. And I’m from Kronk Gym, Detroit. And this place, peb muaj ib tug zoo, zoo kws qhia zoo li Emanuel “Qab Zib” Hill. They know boxing. They teach me very well my skill and everything and my balance. They know boxing. And so, lawv paub yog hais tias tus knockout yog tsis muaj, tiam sis peb yuav mus ua hauj lwm. We’re going to use the good ability to go for 12 rounds. It’s not a problem.

Q

Sakio, Kuv cia li xav paub, yuav ua li cas nws xav tias rau koj nyob rau hauv no txoj kev kawm camp los qhia rau ib lub teeb Heavyweight sib ntaus tom qab siv zoo nkauj npaum li tag nrho koj cov hauj lwm ntawm ib tug super Middleweight?

S. Taurus

Kuv xav tias nws yog ib tug tshiab kev sib tw mus li thiab sim tua cov loj heev nyuj. Thaum koj pom kuv regimen, tsis muaj leej twg puas tau xav mus tua kuv. Nws yog ib txwm ib tug me ntsis nyuaj vim hais tias cov neeg tsis xav mus tua kuv. Rau kuv nws yog ib tug loj kev sib tw vim hais tias Stevenson, Adonis yog ib tug zoo yeej thiab kuv xav los ua ib lub ntiaj teb no yeej nyob rau hauv lub neej. Kuv heev kom kuv tau ko nws. Thiab tuaj Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4, vim hais tias kuv muaj ib tug zoo npaj, , ib tug yawm sparing khub, Kuv cia li nrhiav rau koj pom li cas kuv yuav leg lub loj heev nyuj. Adonis yog thawj ib qho rau kuv ntawm no qhov ceeb thawj, but I just feel confident, Kuv xav tias zoo. Kuv npaj txhij, koj paub, mus muaj thiab qhia cov neeg nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no Kuv yuav tuav Adonis Stevenson rau Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4. I want to tell the big bull. I want to move up in light heavyweight division, thiabPlaub Hlis Ntuj 4 cov neeg uas mus yuav pom nws.

Q

Puas qhov nyhav xav tias zoo dua rau koj? Do you see yourself staying at light heavyweight?

S. Taurus

Kuv pom kuv tus kheej zoo li ib lub teeb Heavyweight. Kuv pom kuv tus kheej rau ntawm lub teeb Heavyweight vim hais tias koj pom muaj coob ntiaj teb no champions. For me just it’s just a challenge. I want to challenge myself. Kuv yuav ua li cas lub teeb hnyav yooj yim. It would be a struggle to do super middleweight. Koj paub, Kuv yuav ua li cas lub teeb Heavyweight yeej yooj yim. Kuv yuav leg lub loj heev nyuj, vim hais tias kuv lis txhua leej txhua tus. This is a big opportunity for me to try to see if can I handle the big bull. I can handle Adonis. xws li Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4, I will try to test myself. You all ready? Kuv npaj txhij. Kuv muaj ib tug zoo npaj,. Peb cob qhia nyuaj heev rau hauv no sib ntaus. Kuv cia li nrhiav rau tuaj rau Quebec thiab saib xyuas ua lag ua luam.

Q

Nyob rau tib lub sij hawm uas koj twb nyob rau ntawm lub Sergey Kovalev / Jean Pascal sib ntaus, thiab koj mus mus HBO commentator thaum lub sij hawm, Bernard Hopkins, and you told him that you guarantee that you will fight Sergey Kovalev. I wanted to see what your answer was to what you think of Sergey Kovalev and his performance nyob rau hnub Saturdayhmo ntuj ib tug ob peb hnub so dhau los.

A. Stevenson

Pascal tsis tam sim no vim hais tias peb nyob nraum tham txog Bika. Kuv mus mus tua Plaub Hlis Ntuj 4 nrog Bika. Nws yog ib tug heev nyuaj tshaj plaws txog Bika thiab Kovalev tsis yog ib tug neeg tam sim no thaum kuv xav txog qhov sib ntaus nrog Kovalev thiab Pascal thiab ces tom qab kuv hais tias, “Zoo, yeah, Kuv yuav mus sib ntaus.” He’s not a person for me now. The person now is Bika.

Q

Koj lav tias koj tom ntej no kev sib ntaus yuav tiv thaiv Kovalev rov qab rau hauv lub Tsib Hlis ntawm xyoo tas los tom qab 12 rounds against Fonfara. You beat Fonfara.

A. Stevenson

You can’t guarantee. It’s not working like that. It’s not football. It’s not hockey. And one punch can change anything. So now I got Bika in my face, thiab kuv heev npaj nrog Bika, because I know this guy gives problems to all the champions. He was champion. And I know this fighter is tough.

L. Milner

And I can’t tell you how happy I am, tus naj npawb ib, yuav tsum tau ua hauj lwm nrog Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Thiab ntawm chav kawm, I know his father very well.

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. Yog li ntawd, 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.

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Kuv paub hais tias, rau kuv tus tub, 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. Lub Xya hli ntuj, ua li cas koj xav tias tuaj tawm ib lub xyoo hauj lwm?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Kuv xav tias zoo. Kuv paub tias nws yog yooj yim thaum koj nyob nraum tawm. Nws yog nyuaj heev rau functioning koj sij hawm. Tab sis kuv twb tau kev kawm, working at my skills. And I think, koj paub, Kuv heev ntseeg vim hais tias kuv tau siv tag nrho kuv lub neej nyob rau hauv boxing. Kuv nyob rau hauv lub 13th xyoo ntawm kuv kev ua hauj lwm. Yog li ntawd kuv tsis xav tias qhov no yog ib qho teeb meem vim hais tias qhov no yog nyob rau kev sib ntaus 172 phaus. 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

Hais lus ntawm hais tias lub ntiaj teb no title, ua li cas koj xav li cas txog hais mav xws li Adonis Stevenson thiab Sergey Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, tom qab no sib ntaus, Kuv yuav mus rau 168 thiab nyob twj ywm nyob rau hauv no qhov ceeb thawj hauv chav kawm ntawv. Ib los yog ob lub xyoos dhau los kuv tsiv mus rau 175 tab sis hais tias yog heev npaum li cas rau kuv lub cev. Tam sim no, Kuv 168. Tab sis, rau cov ib xyoos tawm, no sib ntaus yog nyob rau 172.

A. Fonfara

Kuv xav tias kuv pom againstStevenson tias kuv yog ib tug dav hlau tua rog. Lub cev, Kuv xav tias zoo tam sim no. Txij li thaum uas sib ntaus, I’ve been training much harder. Kuv xav hais tias, vim hais tias kev sib ntaus, Kuv yog ib tug zoo dua boxer vim hais tias, koj paub, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Kuv twb kawm nyuaj rau hauv no sib ntaus, zoo li, koj paub, 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, Kuv yeej ib txwm cob qhia nyuaj.

 

Q

Qhov no yog rau ob leeg Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., obviously, muaj ib tug kev pab thiab tej zaum ib tug drawback, heev, 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, uas ib txhia yuav hais tias yog yuav luag ib tsis, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, dab tsi txog hais tias, tus tsim txom thiab cov kev pab uas muaj xws li ib tug nto moo lub npe?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Tab sis, koj paub, Kuv xav tias qhov no yog ib qho zoo dua. Tab sis qhov no tsis pab kuv nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib. Kuv pov thawj nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, tooj ob, peb thiab tooj plaub ntawm 168 phaus. Thiab kuv twb pom txhua leej txhua tus, cov neeg, hais tias kuv yuav tua, heev. Kuv yog ib tug zoo fighter thiab (Kuv muab tso rau zoo fights). Thiab cov neeg zoo li saib kuv fights. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, heev, cov style ntawm Fonfara yog tuaj mus tua, 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. Obviously, nws pab tau mloog, but we are very different. Nws — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Lub cev, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Yog li ntawd, muaj kev zoo thiab kev phem, and we understand that. Tab sis, nws yog nws tus kheej fighter cia li nyiam kuv yog.

 

Q

Yog, 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. Kem

Koj paub dab tsi? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Tab sis, muaj yam tsawg peb, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Kuv mus, 'Qhov ntawd yog qhov txiv leej tub peb xav,’ vim hais tias, li kuv hais ua ntej, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, koj paub? He’s going to be right there for us. Yog li ntawd, lub style yog tiag tiag, tiag tiag mixed zoo.

 

Q

Andrzej, koj twb tiv thaiv ntawm Middleweight, super Middleweight, teeb heavyweight. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, los yog koj xav tias koj yog ib tug yeej muaj tseeb teeb Heavyweight?

 

A. Fonfara

Kuv yog ib tug teeb Heavyweight fighter. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Kuv feem ntau tua ntawm 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, zoo li, ob, peb phaus cia vim hais tias, koj paub, thaum kuv tiv thaiv Stevenson xyoo tas los nyob rau hauv lub Tsib Hlis, Kuv yog 173 ces. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, koj paub? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

 

Q

Lub Xya hli ntuj Jr., ntau npaum li cas ntawm ib nyem yog nws rau koj thaum kawg tua tom qab ib xyoos? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Yog li ntawd, yuav ua li cas nws xav tias koj paub koj thaum kawg muaj ib tug sib ntaus li ua ntej?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Kuv xav tias zoo. Kuv xav tias zoo, koj paub, 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 Plaub Hlis Ntuj 18 rau Fonfara. Kuv xav tias zoo, Kuv xav tias zoo. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Tab sis kuv heev pog mus yuav tau rov qab) rau lub nplhaib.

 

Q

Joe Goossen, uas ntawm lub kev txawj ntawm Julio Cesar yog txhais qhov zoo tshaj plaws rau lub teeb Heavyweight faib?

J. Goossen

Zoo, thawj tawm, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Kuv txhais li cas, 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. Thiab ntawm chav kawm, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — yeej, 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, Kuv xav tias peb yuav tsum tau mus ntaus lub 172 mark quite easily. Tab sis, dua, 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, thaum peb xav tau ib lub thawv, 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, peb yuav muaj kev vam meej nrog nws.

Q

Koj yuav ua qhov nyhav?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Yog. Sure. I’ll make 172 vim hais tias kuv them $100,000 ib ib phaus (yog hais tias kuv ua tsis tau). Kuv tsis tau them uas zoo ntawm cov nyiaj. Kuv yeej tsis tiv kev txom nyem ntau tshaj 172 nyob rau hauv ib tug sib ntaus. Lub xwb kev sib ntaus kuv tau 172 yog nrog Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, nyob rau hauv tag nrho kuv championship bouts (Kuv yeej tsis tsis tau ceeb thawj). Kuv tsis paub yog vim li cas koj nug kuv hais tias. Cas. Maybe, Kuv yog ib tug loj fighter, koj paub? I know I am a bigger fighter. Tab sis, Kuv tsis muaj teeb meem. Thiab (yog hais tias nws tsis) tsis ua qhov nyhav, tej zaum kuv yuav yeej $100,000 ntau.

Q

Yog li ntawd, Lub Xya hli ntuj, koj nyob nraum vam rau $100,000 los ntawm Andrzej Fonfara, tab sis koj nyob nraum hais tias nws yuav tsum tsis txhob cia siab rau $100,000 los ntawm koj?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ua Tsis, ua tsis tau. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, koj paub, vim hais tias (Kuv tuaj nyob rau hauv sib zog). Koj paub, lub ceeb thawj yog zoo nkauj zoo kuv xav tias rau ob fighters.

 

Q

Koj yuav tham txog koj kev txiav txim siab kom muaj Joe Goossen nyob rau hauv koj lub ces kaum, koj xav tias, raws li ib tug tshwm sim ntawm lub Vera sib ntaus, tias koj tshuav tus kiv cua ib tug kev ua tau zoo?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Zoo, 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, ua ke, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Kuv yuav qhia rau koj tias, this show is for the people. Nws yuav yog ib lub zoo sib ntaus. It’s going to be a better fight. Thiab tam sim no, nrog kuv tshiab nce qib lub tuam txhab thiab nrog paub txog uas kuv tus nrog sib ntaus yog yuav mus yuav nyob rau hauv ua ntej, Kuv xav tias nws yuav yog ib lub zoo hmo ntuj.
