Carson, Kalifornia. (Aprily 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 Asabotsy alina, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofSHOWTIME tompon-daka ady totohondry velona FOTOANA FAMPISEHOANA.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Polonina, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Meksika, 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. Fotoana taty aoriana, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judgesscorecards by scored of 89-80 ary 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 (10faha-) 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, faanio alina 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 I (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Fla., amin'ny fomba Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Ny Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, Aho, 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, nanao hoe: “Nihevitra aho fa nandresy tamin'ny ady. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; tsara, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.

 

Aloha Asabotsy, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Flowers (23-0, 16 Kos), ny Guadalajara, Meksika, 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, Kolombia.

 

Flowers, manao ny 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, nandresy ny maro ny 116-112 in-droa ary 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Izany no nofy tanteraka – more than a dream come truefor me,” hoy izy:. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, Eny, 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 Santa Cruz Leo. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, hatrany ambony ka hatrany ambany, 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,” hoy izy:. “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, Niady mafy-, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Kolombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 in-droa ary 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “Tantaran'i Nenilava” Maidana (6-0, 5 Kos), ny Santa Fe, Arzantina, the brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 segondra an-manodidina) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Wash.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Alakamisy:

 

Julio Cesar Chávez JR., World teo aloha 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, saingy miatrika ny fanamby aho.

 

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 Asabotsy 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. mpiady lehibe. 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 amin'ny sabotsy.

 

If I get the chance, Aho handeha handondona azy. 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 Asabotsyand everything will happen there.

 

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

 

Amir LOVE, Undefeated Super maivana 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. Fa, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“Amin'ny 2015, Te ho lasa tompon-daka izao tontolo izao. 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.

 

“Fantatro fa ny [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. Toy Ny Asabotsy night may the better man win.

 

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

 

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

 

Castillo Walter, Super maivana 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.

 

“Toy Ny Asabotsy, 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, koa.

 

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’ Mpanazatra

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. Laharana voalohany, 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 fihodinana, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imam ny Mpanazatra

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 amin'ny sabotsy.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes amin'ny sabotsy.”

Ity no Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (mpanazatra) Tsy maintsy hoe Zoma Los Angeles amin'ny faritra fanaovana fanatanjahan-tena-:

 

Julio Cesar Chávez JR., World teo aloha 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. Izy mafy.

 

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 toy ny mpanao ady totohondry. 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, ny peratra, 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.

 

“Jolay [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’ Mpanazatra

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.

“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 (Aprily 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Nahazo loka series ALL FAHAZOANA returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his SHOWTIME tompon-daka ady totohondry® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara amin'ny Asabotsy, Aprily 18, velona FOTOANA FAMPISEHOANA (10 p.m. SY/ 7 p.m. PT) avy amin'ny StubHub Center ao Carson, Kalifornia.

ALL FAHAZOANA: 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 FAHAZOANAuncovers 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. Ary, Heveriko fa, courageous, too.”

 

Amin'ny ALL FAHAZOANA 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.

Okay. Misaotra anao. Ary ankehitriny, farany fa tsy latsa-danja amin'izay, Te-hahazo ny mpivady fanehoan-kevitra avy Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Jolay?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Fantatro izany, ny zanako, 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. Jolay, inona no tsapanao avy eny isan-taona layoff?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Mahazo aina aho. Fantatro fa sarotra rehefa eny ianao. Sarotra ny indray ny fotoana. Fa izay no naha fiofanana, working at my skills. And I think, fantatrao, Tena matoky aho, satria efa tapitra avokoa ny fiainako eo amin'ny ady totohondry. Aho tamin'ny faha-13 taona ny asa matihanina. Noho izany dia tsy mieritreritra ny olana izany satria ady ity dia amin'ny 172 kilao. 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

Raha niresaka izany izao tontolo izao lohateny, inona no tsapanao momba ny ry zalahy toy ny Adonis Stevenson sy Sergey Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, rehefa afaka izany ady, Aho midina ho any 168 ka mitoera ao amin'ny kilasy lanja ity. Iray na roa taona lasa izay dia nifindra tany 175 fa be loatra ny vatako. Ankehitriny, Aho 168. Fa, ho an'ny taona iray eny, ady io dia ao amin'ny 172.

Q

Andrzej, Inona no tsapanao Mivoaka ho ara-batana ny Adonis ady Stevenson?

 

A. Fonfara

Heveriko Nasehoko againstStevenson fa mpiady aho. Ara-batana, Mahatsapa tsara aho ankehitriny. Hatramin'izay ady, I’ve been training much harder. Heveriko fa, noho izany ady, Aho, satria tsara kokoa mpanao ady totohondry, fantatrao, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Fanazaran-tena mafy aho noho izany ady, toy ny, fantatrao, 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, Fampiofanana foana aho mafy.

 

Q

Izany no ho an'ny Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., mazava ho azy fa, misy ny tombontsoa sy ny mety ho drawback, koa, 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, izay ny sasany hoe efa ho iray dia vita, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, ahoana ny momba izany, ny enta-mavesatra sy ny tombontsoa amin'ny fananana toy izany anarana malaza?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Fa, fantatrao, Mino aho fa izany dia tombony. Fa izany dia tsy hanampy ahy eo amin'ny peratra. Aho voaporofo eo amin'ny peratra. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, isa roa, isa telo dia isa efatra amin'ny 168 kilao. Ary nampiseho ny rehetra aho, ny olona, fa izaho manohitra, koa. Tsara aho mpiady sy ny (Hitafy tsara aho ady). Ary ny olona toy ny hahita ny ady. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, koa, ny fomba Fonfara ho avy hiady, 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. Mazava ho, Tena nanampy hahazo saina, but we are very different. Izy — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Ara-batana, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Izany, misy ny tsara sy ny ratsy, and we understand that. Fa, dia ny ny mpiady toa aho.

 

Q

Aho, 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. Tsanganana

Hainao ve fa? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Fa, nisy telo, fara fahakeliny,, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, I mandeha, 'Izany ilay lehilahy tiantsika,’ satria, Hoy aho hoe toy ny teo aloha, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, fantatrao? He’s going to be right there for us. Izany, ny fomba tena, Tena mifangaro tsara.

 

Q

Andrzej, ianao ady amin'ny middleweight, faran'izay middleweight, mazava lanja mavesatra. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, na no tsapanao ianao lanja mavesatra ny tena fahazavana?

 

A. Fonfara

Fahazavana aho lanja mavesatra mpiady. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Matetika aho no miady amin'ny 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, toy ny, roa, telo kilao eo, satria, fantatrao, rehefa niady tamin'ny taona Stevenson ao May, Aho 173 avy eo. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, fantatrao? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

 

Q

Jolay Jr., ohatrinona ny fanampiana no ho anao ny farany hiady-taona? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Izany, Inona no Tsapan'ny anareo ny hahalala anao nony farany manana ady ka mialoha?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Mahazo aina aho. Mahatsapa lehibe, fantatrao, 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 Aprily 18 fa Fonfara. Mahazo aina aho, Mahatsapa lehibe. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Fa tena faly aho ho niverina) ny peratra.

 

Q

Joe Goossen, izay ny fahaiza-manao ny Julio Cesar no fandikana ny tsara indrindra ho an'ny sokajy mavesatra ny mazava fizarana?

J. Goossen

Tsara, eny aloha, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Ny tiako hambara, 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. Ary mazava ho azy, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — ankapobeny, 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, Mino aho fa isika dia handeha ho afaka namely ny 172 mark quite easily. Fa, indray, 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, rehefa nila ny boaty, 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, isika dia handeha ho fahombiazana izany.

Q

Afaka manao ny lanjany?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Eny. Sure. I’ll make 172 satria mandoa vola $100,000 isaky ny antsasa-kilao (raha tsy). Tsy afaka handoa izany karazam-bola. Tsy mbola nilanja mihoatra noho ny 172 amin'ny ady. Ny hany ady nataoko 172 dia amin'ny Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, tompon-daka eran'ny toaka (Na oviana na oviana aho Tsy nanao lanja). Tsy fantatro ny antony manontany ahy fa. Okay. Maybe, Lehibe kokoa aho mpiady, fantatrao? I know I am a bigger fighter. Fa, Tsy manana olana. Ary (raha manao) tsy manao ny lanjany, mety mandresy aho $100,000 bebe kokoa.

Q

Izany, Jolay, manantena ianao $100,000 avy Andrzej Fonfara, fa ianao hoe mba tsy manantena $100,000 avy aminao?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Aza, aza. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, fantatrao, satria (I avy ao maivana). Fantatrao, ny lanjan'ny tsara dia tsara tarehy heveriko ho an'ny mpiady.

 

Q

Afaka miresaka momba ny fanapahan-kevitra mba manana Joe Goossen eo amin'ny zorony, ianao, vokatry ny ady ny Vera, fa Tokony hankasitraka ny mpankafy ny fampisehoana iray?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Tsara, 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, miara-, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Afaka milaza aminareo aho fa, this show is for the people. Izany dia midika hoe mandeha ho ady lehibe. It’s going to be a better fight. Ary ankehitriny, fampahafantarana vaovao miaraka amin'ny orinasa sy ny fahafantarana izay ny mpifanandrina dia tsy maintsy mialoha, Heveriko fa handeha ho lehibe alina.
