Carson, Calif. (Abril 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOs) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. (48-2-1, 32 KOs) in resounding fashion Sabado sa gabii, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime kampyonato sa boxing nga mabuhi sa Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Poland, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, 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. Pipila ka gutlo sa ulahi, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judgesscorecards by scored of 89-80 ug 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “Ako nasayud nga siya mao ang usa ka lisud nga 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 (10th) 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, apankarong gabii 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. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he hadstopped 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 ako (17-0, 14 KOs), of Davie, Fla., pinaagi sa Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Ang Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, Ako adunay, 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, miingon “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; pag-ayo, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.

 

Sa sayo pa Sabado, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Bulak (23-0, 16 KOs), sa Guadalajara, Mexico, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 KOs), of Tolima, Colombia.

 

Bulak, paghimo sa iyang 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, midaog pinaagi sa mga daghang 116-112 makaduha ug 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Kini mao ang usa ka damgo nga ang tinuod nga – more than a dream come truefor me,” siya miingon. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, oo, 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,” siya miingon. “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 Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 KOs), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, lisud nga-Nakig-away, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 KOs), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 makaduha ug 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 KOs), sa Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 segundos ngadto sa round) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Hugasan.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Huwebes:

 

Julio Cesar Chavez JR., Kanhi World Champion

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 Sabado 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.. mao ang usa ka dako nga fighter. 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 sa Sabado.

 

If I get the chance, Ako sa pagtuktok kaniya gikan. 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 Sabadoand everything will happen there.

 

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

 

Amir GUGMA, Undefeated Super Lightweight Nakigtigi

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. Apan, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“Sa 2015, Gusto ko nga mahimong usa ka world champion. 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.

 

“Ako nasayud nga siya [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. Ang ingon nga Ingon Sabado night may the better man win.

 

I’ve boxed styles like [sa iyang] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Sabadosa gabii.

 

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

 

CASTILLO ALTE, Super Lightweight Nakigtigi

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.

 

“Ang ingon nga Ingon Sabado, 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, usab.

 

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. Numero sa usa ka, 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 rounds, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imam ni Trainer

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 sa Sabado.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes sa Sabado.”

VAN NUYS, Calif.(Abril 13, 2015) – Kanhi world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. gihimo sa usa ka media eksersayis sa Biyernes in front of a packed house at Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, Calif., as the Mexican superstar prepares to make his Showtime kampyonato sa boxing nga® debut sa Sabado, Abril 18, sa StubHub Center sa Carson, Calif., mabuhi sa Showtime(10 sa gabii.

Ania ang Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (trainer) sa pag-ingon Biyernes sa Los Angeles-area gym:

 

Julio Cesar Chavez JR., Kanhi World Champion

I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

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. Siya lisud.

 

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 ingon sa usa ka boxer. 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, ang singsing, 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.

 

“Hulyo [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.

Usa sa boxing sa labing paspas-nagtubo nga palaaboton, ang 24-ka-tuig-ang panuigon Imam nga nanuktok sa 14 sa iyang 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. Ako adunay, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 sa 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 miingon. “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 KOs), sa 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 sa Panama.

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 Abril 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.

“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 (Abril 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Award-winning sunod-sunod nga TANANG Paggamit returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his Showtime kampyonato sa boxing nga® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara sa Sabado, Abril 18, mabuhi sa Showtime (10 sa gabii. UG/ 7 sa gabii. PT) gikan sa StubHub Center sa Carson, Calif.

TANANG Paggamit: 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, TANANG Paggamituncovers 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. Ug, Akong hunahuna, courageous, too.”

 

Uban sa TANANG Paggamit 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.

Julio is — Ako makasulti kaninyo niini — mao ang kaayo nga hinalad sa niini nga away, sa hunahuna, sa pisikal, 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 porsyento. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, gidaghanon sa usa ka, nga nagtrabaho uban sa Julio Jr.. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Ug siyempre, I know his father very well.

Uban niana nga nga miingon, salamat kanimo.

K. Swanson

Sam Colonna

Maayo, una, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Apan, kamo nasayud, sa wala pa sila gikuha Julio Cesar Chavez sa away, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, 'Unsa ang mahitungod sa Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Ako miingon, ‘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. Busa, kini ni-adto sa mahimo nga usa ka dako nga away. 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.

Okay. Salamat. Ug karon, katapusan apan dili labing menos, Gusto ko aron sa pagkuha sa usa ka magtiayon nga mga komento gikan sa Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Hulyo?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Nasayud ko nga ang, alang sa akong anak nga lalake, 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. Hulyo, sa unsa nga paagi ang imong bation pag-anhi sa usa ka tuig nga pahuway?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Ako mobati og maayo. Ako nasayud nga kini lisud nga sa diha nga ikaw sa. Kini lisud nga sa pag-usab sa imong panahon. Apan ako na nga pagbansay, working at my skills.

Busa akong hunahuna wala kini mao ang usa ka problema tungod kay kini nga away mao ang sa 172 libra. 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

Namulong sa niana nga world title, sa unsa nga paagi ang inyong gibati mahitungod sa mga guys nga sama Adonis Stevenson ug Madaniyah Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, human niini nga away, Ako ngadto sa 168 ug magpabilin diha sa niini nga gibug-aton nga klase. Usa o duha ka tuig na ang milabay mibalhin ko sa 175 apan nga mao ang daghan kaayo alang sa akong lawas. Karon, Ako 168. Apan, alang sa usa ka tuig sa, niini nga away mao ang sa 172.

Usa ka. Fonfara

Ako nagtuo nga ako gipakita sa againstStevenson nga ako mao ang usa ka fighter. Pisikal nga mga panginahanglan, Ako mobati og maayo karon. Sukad nga makig-away, I’ve been training much harder. Akong hunahuna, tungod niana nga away, Ako ang usa ka mas maayo nga boksidor tungod kay, kamo nasayud, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Ako na nga gibansay lisud nga alang niini nga away, sama sa, kamo nasayud, 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, Ako sa kanunay pagbansay sa lisud nga.

 

Q

Kini mao ang alang sa duha Julio Jr.. and Sr. For Jr., klaro nga, adunay usa ka kaayohan ug tingali usa ka disbentaha, usab, 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, nga ang uban moingon hapit usa ka imposible nga, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, unsa mahitungod sa nga, ang palas-anon ug sa kaayohan sa pagbaton sa maong usa ka bantog nga ngalan?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Apan, kamo nasayud, Sa akong hunahuna kini mao ang usa ka bentaha. Apan kini wala sa pagtabang kanako diha sa singsing. Ako napamatud-an diha sa mga singsing. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, gidaghanon sa duha ka, gidaghanon sa tulo ka ug numero upat sa 168 libra. Ug ako na gipakita sa tanan, sa mga tawo, nga ako sa pagpakig-away, usab. Ako mao ang usa ka maayo nga manggugubat ug (Gibutang ko sa maayo nga away). Ug ang mga tawo nga sama sa pagtan-aw sa akong mga away. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, usab, ang estilo sa Fonfara moabut sa pagpakig-away, 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. Tin-aw nga, kini mitabang sa pagtagad, but we are very different. Siya — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. Ug busa, there’s a lot of difference. Pisikal nga mga panginahanglan, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Busa, adunay maayo ug dili maayo nga, and we understand that. Apan, siya sa iyang kaugalingon nga fighter sama ako sa.

 

Q

Ako, you mentioned earlier that you had a lot of names mentioned for Andrzej before you finally settled on Chavez. Are you willing to reveal some of those names?

 

S. Column

Ikaw masayud kon unsa ang? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Apan, may labing menos tulo ka mga, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Ako moadto, 'Mao kana ang guy nga atong gusto,’ tungod kay, sama nga ako miingon sa sayo pa, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, kamo nasayud? He’s going to be right there for us. Busa, sa estilo mao ang tinuod nga, tinuod nga mixed nga maayo.

 

Q

Andrzej, ikaw na nakig-away sa middleweight, super middleweight, kahayag heavyweight. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, o ang inyong gibati nga ikaw usa ka tinuod nga kahayag heavyweight?

 

Usa ka. Fonfara

Ako usa ka kahayag 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. Ako sa kasagaran sa pagpakig-away sa 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, sama sa, sa duha ka, totolo ka libra tungod kay, kamo nasayud, sa diha nga ako nakig-away Stevenson sa miaging tuig sa Mayo, Ako sa 173 unya. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, kamo nasayud? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

 

Q

Hulyo Jr., kon sa unsang paagi sa daghan nga sa usa ka kahupayan mao kini alang kanimo sa katapusan sa pagpakig-away human sa usa ka tuig? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Busa, sa unsang paagi kini nga mobati alang kaninyo nga mahibalo nga kamo sa katapusan sa usa ka away sa unahan?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Ako mobati og maayo. Mibati ko og dakong, kamo nasayud, 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. Ug nahibal-an nimo, I’m not remembering anything about that. I’m just focusing on the fight Abril 18 alang sa Fonfara. Ako mobati og maayo, Mibati ko og dakong. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Apan ako naghinam-hinam kaayo nga mahimong pagbalik) sa singsing.

 

Q

Joe Goossen, nga sa mga kahanas sa Julio Cesar ang paghubad sa labing maayo alang sa kahayag heavyweight division?

J. Goossen

Maayo, una sa, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Ako nagpasabut, 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. Ug siyempre, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — batakan, 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, Akong hunahuna kita moadto sa makahimo sa naigo sa mga 172 mark quite easily. Apan, pag-usab, 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, sa diha nga kami gikinahanglan ang usa ka kahon, he did it beautifully. And when we needed pressure in a few rounds, he pulled it off exactly how I like it. So I’m very confident that whatever style we bring and game plan we bring, kita nga mahimong malampuson uban niini.

Q

Makahimo ba kamo sa paghimo sa gibug-aton?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Oo. Sigurado. I’ll make 172 tungod kay ako mobayad $100,000 matag usa ka libra (kon ako dili). Dili ako makabayad niana nga matang sa salapi. Ako dili na gayud nga gitimbang labaw pa kay sa 172 diha sa usa ka away. Ang bugtong away nga akong gihimo 172 mao ang uban sa Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, sa tanan ko nga championship bouts (Wala gayud ako wala gibug-aton). Ako wala masayud kon ngano nga imong pangayoon kanako nga. Okay. Maybe, Ko sa usa ka mas dako nga fighter, kamo nasayud? I know I am a bigger fighter. Apan, Wala ako adunay mga problema. Ug (kon siya ang) dili sa paghimo sa gibug-aton, tingali ko modaog $100,000 labaw pa.

Q

Busa, Hulyo, ikaw naglaum sa $100,000 gikan sa Andrzej Fonfara, apan ikaw sa pag-ingon nga siya dili paglaum alang sa $100,000 gikan kaninyo?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Buhata Dili, dili. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, kamo nasayud, tungod kay (Ako mianhi sa magaan-gaan). Ikaw nahibalo, ang gibug-aton mao ang pretty maayo nga sa akong hunahuna alang sa mga manggugubat.

 

Q

Makahimo ka ba sa bahin sa imong desisyon nga adunay Joe Goossen sa imong pamag, nga imong gibati, ingon sa usa ka resulta sa Vera away, nga utang mo ang mga fans sa usa ka pasundayag?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Maayo, 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, sa tingub, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Ako makasulti kaninyo nga ang, this show is for the people. Kini ni-adto sa mahimo nga usa ka dako nga away. It’s going to be a better fight. Ug karon, uban sa akong bag-o nga promotion nga kompanya ug uban sa pagkahibalo sa nga sa akong kontra na sa nga diha sa daan, Akong hunahuna nga kini ni-adto sa mahimo nga usa ka dako nga gabii.
