I feel very comfortable at 147; this is my natural weight,” Said Molina, post-yaki. “I am at weight after working out and I feel faster in my fights. A saboda wannan yaki, I worked on utilizing my jab and being more effective with it. Over all I am happy about how things came together. I will continue to work hard to get back to a world title fight.
Molina says he likes the hectic schedule he maintained this year, in fighting five times against respectable opposition.
I want to stay busy. The activity I experienced this year was excellent and I want to continue being busy. I want bigger fights with anyone in the top 10 a 147. I want the fights that will lead to a second world title. I am a problem for anyone at 147 da kuma a 2017, I want to be challenged with the best the division has to offer.
Carlos was one of the best in the world at 154,said his promoter, Leon Margules na Warriors dambe. “But at 147, he could very well be the best in the world. He is a true technician with a difficult style to solve for anyone. Now that he’s bigger and stronger than his opponents, he’s in very serious contention for a second world championship once again. He had a great year and I congratulate him.

CARSON, Calif. (Afrilu 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 Asabar dare, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime gasar dambe zauna a LOKACIN WASAN KWAIKWAYO.

 

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. Lokacin daga baya, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judgesscorecards by scored of 89-80 da kuma 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 (10ga watan) 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, ammayau da dare 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 Na (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Fla., ta hanyar Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Da Hammer” Castle.

 

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

 

Tun da farko Asabar, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Flowers (23-0, 16 Kos), na 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.

 

Flowers, yin da 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, nasara da scores na 116-112 sau biyu, da kuma 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Wannan mafarki gaskiya – more than a dream come truefor me,” ya ce. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, a, 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,” ya ce. “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, m-yi yaƙi, 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 sau biyu, da kuma 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 Kos), na Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 seconds a cikin zagaye) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Wanke.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Alhamis:

 

Julio Cesar Chavez JR., Tsohon Duniya 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 Asabar 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. ne mai girma jirgin saman soja. 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 a ranar Asabar.

 

If I get the chance, Zan je buga shi. 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 Asabarand everything will happen there.

 

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

 

AMIR AUNA, Undefeated Super Hur 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. Amma, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“A 2015, Ina so in zama wani zakaran duniya. 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.

 

“Na san da ya ke [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. Kamar Asabar night may the better man win.

 

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

 

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

 

Castillo Walter, Super Hur 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.

 

“Kamar Asabar, 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, ma.

 

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’ Horo

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. Lamba daya, 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 akai-akai, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imam ya 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 a ranar Asabar.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes a ranar Asabar.”

Julio Cesar Chavez JR., Tsohon Duniya 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. Da ya ke tauri.

 

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 a matsayin ɗan dambe. 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, da zobe, 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.

 

“Yuli [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’ Horo

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.

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 (Afrilu 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Lambar yabo-lashe jerin DUK ACCESS returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his Showtime gasar dambe® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara a kan Asabar, Afrilu 18, zauna a LOKACIN WASAN KWAIKWAYO (10 p.m. DA/ 7 p.m. Santa) daga StubHub Cibiyar a Carson, Calif.

 

DUK ACCESS: Chavez premieres Jumma'a, Afrilu 10, nan da nan bayan da aka live ShoBox: Sabon Generation tripleheader at 10 p.m. DA/Santa.

 

DUK 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, DUK 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. Da kuma, Ina tsammani, courageous, too.”

 

Tare da DUK 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.

Wannan shi ne duka biyu Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., a fili, akwai wani amfãni, kuma watakila wani drawback, ma, 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, wanda wasu za su ce shi ne kusan ba zai yiwu ba wani, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, abin da game da wannan, nauyin da amfanin da ciwon irin wannan shahara da sunan?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Amma, ka sani, Ina ganin wannan wani amfani. Amma wannan ba ya taimake ni a cikin zobe. Ina tabbatar a cikin zobe. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, lambar biyu, lambar uku da kuma lambarta hudu a 168 fam. Kuma Na nuna kowa da kowa, mutane, cewa zan iya yãƙi, ma. Ni mai kyau jirgin saman soja da kuma (Na sa a kan mai kyau ta faɗa). Kuma mutane kamar gani nake ta faɗa. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, ma, da style of Fonfara shi ne ya zo ku yi yãƙi, 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. Babu shakka, shi ke taimaka samun da hankali, but we are very different. Ya — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Jiki, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Don haka, da akwai mai kyau da kuma mummuna, and we understand that. Amma, da ya ke nasa jirgin saman soja kawai son da nake.

Ni, 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. Shafi

Ka san abin da? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Amma, akwai a kalla uku, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Na je, 'Wannan shi ne Guy muna so,’ saboda, kamar na ce a baya, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, ka sani? He’s going to be right there for us. Don haka, da style ne sosai, gaske mixed kyau.

Andrzej, ka yi yaƙi a middleweight, Super middleweight, boxing. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, ko kuwa kada ka ji kana mai gaskiya boxing?

 

A. Fonfara

Ni dan boxing jirgin saman soja. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Yawancin lokaci ina yi yãƙi a 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, kamar, biyu, uku fam saukar sabõda, ka sani, lokacin da na yi yaƙi Stevenson a bara a watan Mayu, Na yi 173 to,. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, ka sani? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ina jin mai kyau. Ina jin mai girma, ka sani, 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 Afrilu 18 domin Fonfara. Ina jin mai kyau, Ina jin mai girma. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Amma ba ni da sosai m ya zama ya dawo) ga zobe.

Joe Goossen, wanda daga cikin dabarun na Julio Cesar an fassara mafi kyau ga boxing division?

J. Goossen

Da kyau, na farko kashe, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Ina nufin, 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. Kuma ba shakka, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — m, 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, Ina ganin za mu iya buga 172 mark quite easily. Amma, kuma, 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, idan muka bukata kwalin, 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, za mu ci nasara da shi.
