CARSON, Kalifornië. (April 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Uitklophoue) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Uitklophoue) in resounding fashion Saterdag nag, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks woon op Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Pole, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexiko, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Oomblikke later, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judges’ scorecards by scored of 89-80 en 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10ste) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, maarvanaand was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. Dit was 'n baie taai stryd. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he had “stopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir Ek (17-0, 14 Uitklophoue), of Davie, Fla., by wyse van Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Die Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, Ek het, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Castle, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, gesê “Ek het gedink ek het die stryd. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; goed, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Vroeër Saterdag, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, onoorwonne Moises “Die Chucky” Blomme (23-0, 16 Uitklophoue), van Guadalajara, Mexiko, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Uitklophoue), van Tolima, Colombia.

 

Blomme, maak sy 2015 debuut en derde begin in 'n ry in die Verenigde State, geseëvier deur die tellings van 116-112 twee keer en 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Dit is 'n droom wat waar geword – more than a dream come true – for me,” het hy gesê. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, Ja, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” het hy gesê. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super welterweight Omar “El Sakeman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Uitklophoue), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hard geveg, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Uitklophoue), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 twee keer en 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue), Santa Fe, Argentinië, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 sekondes in die rondte) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Was.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Donderdag:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Voormalige wêreldkampioen

“I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

“I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

“I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

“I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

“I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

“I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

“I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

“I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.”

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

“I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

“I must put everything into Saterdag night and I will win the fight.

 

“I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

“I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

“I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

“It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. is 'n groot vegter. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight Saterdag.

 

“If I get the chance, Ek gaan om hom te klop. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

“I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

“It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Saterdagand everything will happen there.

 

“Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.”

 

Amir LOVE, Onoorwonne Super Liggewig Contender

“I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

“I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

“I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Maar, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“In 2015, Ek wil 'n wêreldkampioen geword. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Ek weet hy is [Castle] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Soos Saterdag night may the better man win.

 

“I’ve boxed styles like [sy] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Saterdagnag.

 

“I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.”

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Liggewig Contender

“I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Soos Saterdag, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.”

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, te.

 

“Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

“If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

“My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

“Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Trainer

“Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

“I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

“I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

“He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Nommer een, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

“We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

“He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

“I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

“This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

“Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

“Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.”

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

“Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

“The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

“I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

“A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

“This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

“We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

“People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

“I see this fight not going past 10 rondes, with us getting the knockout.”

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imam se afrigter

“Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

“He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

“Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

“Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

“We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out Saterdag.

 

“I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes Saterdag.”

“I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Hy is moeilik.

 

“I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 as 'n bokser. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

“Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

“When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

“I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, die ring, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

“I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.”

 

 

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

“I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

“He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

“I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

“I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Julie [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trainer

“I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

“I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

“Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

“I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

“Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

“Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

“Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

UNDEFEATED 140-POUND CONTENDER AMIR IMAM TO FACE WALTER CASTILLO IN CHAVEZ-FONFARA CO-FEATURE APRIL 18 ON SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Skryf 'n opmerking

Saterdag, April 18, Woon op Showtime® (10 namiddag. EN/7 namiddag. PT)

From StubHub Center In Carson, Kalifornië.

NEW YORK (April 8, 2015) – Top 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir Ek (16-0, 14 Uitklophoue) is daarop gemik om 'n stap nader aan 'n wêreldtitelgeleentheid te beweeg wanneer hy sy tweede begin maak 2015 teen mede-magspotter Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue) in the 10-round co-feature of Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks op Saterdag, April 18, LIVE on Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/7 namiddag. PT)

 

In the main event from StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornië., Mexikaanse superster Julio Cesar Chavez(48-1-1, 32 Uitklophoue) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 Uitklophoue), of Chicago by way of Poland, in 'n 12-ronde ligswaargewig bout.

 

Een van die vinnigste stygende vooruitsigte boks se, die 24-jarige Imam het uitgeslaan 14 van sy 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. Ek het, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 in die WBC, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

 

“I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Imam sê. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.”

 

Castle (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue), van Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera in Panama. Castle, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

 

“Ek is baie opgewonde vir hierdie stryd. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on April 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.”

Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. & His Legendary Father In Training Camp, Preparing For His SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Debut on Saturday, April 18, woon op Showtime

 

VIDEO PREVIEW LINK: http://s.sho.com/1c5cLDQ

 

“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.

 

NEW YORK (April 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Bekroonde reeks All Access returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara op Saterdag, April 18, woon op Showtime (10 namiddag. EN/ 7 namiddag. PT) uit die StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornië.

 

All Access: Chavez premières Vrydag, April 10, onmiddellik na die live ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie tripleheader at 10 namiddag. EN/PT.

 

All 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, All 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. En, Ek dink, courageous, too.”

 

Met All 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.

 

All Access: CHAVEZ premieres on SHOWTIME with multiple encore presentations. All Access will be available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, Showtime enige tyd® en aanlyn bySHO.com/Sports.

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR.-Andrzej FONFARA mediakonferensie CALL transkripsie

Skryf 'n opmerking

Kelly Swanson

Dankie, almal, for joining us today for this great call to officially announce a very exciting match up. And without further ado, 'n bietjie oor wat grootgeword het om te praat, Ek gaan Chris DeBlasio te stel, Vise-president van Sport Communications vir Showtime.

Chris DeBlasio

Dankie, 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, hoe baie opgewonde ons is vir die debuut van Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. op ons netwerk op Saterdag, April 18, vir ons Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks doubleheader. Dit gaan 'n groot nag. On the call with us and in the ring across from Julio Chavez Jr. daardie nag is 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, natuurlik, thanks to all the press for being on the call. Dankie, Kelly.

K. Swanson

Dankie, almal. Goed. We’re going to go ahead and introduce the fighters and their trainers for you. First we have Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., voormalige middelgewig-wêreldkampioen, Andrzej Fonfara, die voormalige wêreld titel uitdager, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. — ons almal weet wie hy is, en beslis uit respek vir die groot legende dat hy, Ons verwelkom hom op die oproep — Joe Goossen, wat Julio se afrigter, en Sam Colonna, wat Fonfara se afrigter.

 

So, in hierdie tyd, wat ek wil doen, is om te vra Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. maak die opening opmerkings oor hierdie stryd en 'n bietjie oor wat hy nou doen in oefenkamp en net hoe hy voel oor die stryd.

 

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

I’m training very well. I’m training (op 'n hoër) level than the best. I’m doing more physical training (en ek kry nader aan die) gewig van 172 pond. And I think I’m in great shape, jy weet? I have a lot of time and don’t stay in this kind of shape.

K. Swanson

Goed. Now let’s hear from Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej, kon jy praat 'n bietjie en vertel ons hoe jy voel oor die stryd teen Jr.?

Andrzej Fonfara

I’m feeling great. I think Chavez Jr. is 'n groot vegter, wêreldkampioen. And you know, it’s good fight for me. I trained hard for the fight. We got very good camp. Nou, we start a sparring session. Jy weet, my gewig is goed. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, te. Then I’m back to Chicago. We finished camp here. And I’m–jy weet, Ek is gereed vir Ontmoet Chavez in die ring April 18en wys hom ek is beter bokser.

K. Swanson

Goed. Excellent. Baie dankie. Next we’ll have the trainers say something very brief before we turn it over to the media for call. So, Joe Goossen, he is Julio Cesar Chavez’s trainer at this point. Joe, sou jy graag 'n paar opmerkings te maak?

Joe Goossen

Dankie. Nommer een, 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, jy weet, Julio is baie, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. En nou, ons is in Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Ek kan net vir julle dit vertel — is baie toegewyd aan hierdie stryd, geestelik, fisies, 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 persent. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, nommer een, om saam te werk met Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. En natuurlik, 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. So, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. Met wat gesê word, dankie.

K. Swanson

Dankie. Nou, Sam Colonna, As jy kan 'n kommentaar gee ons, en dan sal ons dit oopmaak vir vrae.

Sam Colonna

Wel, eerste, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Maar, jy weet, voordat hulle opgetel Julio Cesar Chavez te veg, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, 'Wat van Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Ek het gesê, ‘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. So, dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees. 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

Goed. Dankie. En nou, Laaste maar nie die minste nie, Ek wil graag 'n paar opmerkings van Julio Cesar Chavez Sr te kry. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Julie?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Ek weet dat, vir my seun, 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. Julie, hoe voel jy kom uit 'n jaar lank nie?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ek voel goed. Ek weet dit is moeilik wanneer jy af. Dit is moeilik om jou tydsberekening te herwin. Maar ek het opleiding is, working at my skills. And I think, jy weet, Ek is vol vertroue, want ek het my hele lewe spandeer in die boks. Ek is in die 13de jaar van my professionele loopbaan. So ek dink nie dit is 'n probleem, want hierdie stryd is op 172 pond. 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

Praat van daardie wêreld titel, hoe voel jy oor ouens soos Adonis Stevenson en Sergey Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

O, these guys very strong. But I think, na hierdie stryd, Ek gaan af na 168 en bly in hierdie gewig klas. Een of twee jaar gelede het ek verhuis na 175 maar dit was te veel vir my liggaam. Nou, Ek is 168. Maar, vir die een jaar af, hierdie stryd is op 172.

Q

Andrzej, Hoe dink jy kan fisies kom die Adonis Stevenson stryd af?

 

A. Fonfara

Ek dink ek het againstStevenson dat ek was 'n vegter. Fisies, Ek voel goed nou. Sedert daardie stryd, I’ve been training much harder. Ek dink, as gevolg van daardie stryd, Ek is 'n beter bokser omdat, jy weet, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Ek het hard geoefen vir hierdie stryd, soos, jy weet, 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, Ek is altyd hard aan die oefen.

 

Q

Dit is vir beide Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., natuurlik, daar is 'n voordeel en miskien 'n nadeel, te, 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, wat sommige sou sê was amper 'n onmoontlike, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, wat oor die, die las en die voordeel van so 'n bekende naam?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Maar, jy weet, Ek dink dit is 'n voordeel. Maar dit beteken vir my nie help nie in die ring. Ek is bewys in die ring. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, nommer twee, nommer drie en nommer vier op 168 pond. En ek het almal gewys, die mense, dat ek kan veg, te. Ek is 'n goeie vegter en (Ek sit op 'n goeie gevegte). En mense soos sien my gevegte. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, te, die styl van Fonfara is om te kom om te veg, 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. Natuurlik, dit gehelp het om aandag, but we are very different. Hy — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. En so, there’s a lot of difference. Fisies, he’s a lot bigger than I was. So, daar is goeie en slegte, and we understand that. Maar, hy is sy eie vegter net soos ek was.

 

Q

Is, 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. Kolom

Jy weet wat? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Maar, daar was ten minste drie, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Ek gaan, "Dit is die man wat ons wil,’ omdat, soos ek vroeër gesê het, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, jy weet? He’s going to be right there for us. So, die styl is werklik, regtig gemengde goeie.

 

Q

Andrzej, jy by middelgewigtitel het geveg, super middelgewig, lig swaargewig. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, of voel jy jy is 'n ware lig swaargewig?

 

A. Fonfara

Ek is 'n lig swaargewig vegter. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Ek veg gewoonlik by 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, soos, twee, £ 3 af, want, jy weet, toe ek geveg Stevenson in Mei verlede jaar, Ek was 173 dan. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, jy weet? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

 

Q

Julie Jr., hoeveel van 'n verligting is dit vir jou om uiteindelik veg na 'n jaar? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. So, hoe voel dit vir jou om te weet dat jy uiteindelik 'n stryd wat voorlê?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ek voel goed. Ek voel 'n groot, jy weet, 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 vir Fonfara. Ek voel goed, Ek voel 'n groot. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Maar ek is baie opgewonde om terug te keer) aan die ring.

 

Q

Joe Goossen, wat van die vaardighede van Julio Cesar is die vertaling van die beste vir die lig swaargewig-afdeling?

J. Goossen

Wel, eerste af, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Ek bedoel, 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. En natuurlik, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — basies, 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, Ek dink ons ​​gaan in staat wees om die te tref 172 mark quite easily. Maar, weer, 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, wanneer ons nodig om 'n boks, 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, ons gaan 'n sukses daarvan te wees.

Q

Kan jy maak die gewig?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ja. Seker. I’ll make 172 want ek betaal $100,000 per pond (As ek dit nie doen nie). Ek kan nie betaal daardie soort van geld. Ek het nog nooit geweeg meer as 172 in 'n stryd. Die enigste stryd wat ek gemaak het 172 is met Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, in al my kampioenskap Bouts (Ek het nog nooit het nie gewig maak). Ek weet nie hoekom jy my vra wat. Goed. Maybe, Ek is 'n groter vegter, jy weet? I know I am a bigger fighter. Maar, Ek probleme het nie. En (as hy dit doen) nie die gewig, miskien sal ek wen $100,000 meer.

Q

So, Julie, jy hoop vir $100,000 van Andrzej Fonfara, maar jy sê dat hy nie moet hoop vir $100,000 van jou?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Moenie, doen nie. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, jy weet, omdat (Ek kom in ligter). Jy weet, die gewig is redelik goed ek dink vir beide vegters.

 

Q

Kan jy praat oor jou besluit Joe Goossen te hê in jou hoek, jy voel, as 'n gevolg van die Vera stryd, wat jy skuld die ondersteuners 'n prestasie?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Wel, 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, saam, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Ek kan jou vertel dat, this show is for the people. Dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees. It’s going to be a better fight. En nou, met my nuwe bevordering maatskappy en met die wete wat my teenstander gaan wees in advance, Ek dink dit gaan 'n groot nag.
