Boxing trainer Orlando Cuellar goes Back to the Future at 5th St. Gym

Acha maoni
MIAMI (Oktoba 26, 2016) — Internationally renowned boxing trainer Orlando Cuellar has come full circle, right back to the famed 5th St. Gym in South Beach, where he once visited as a teenager to learn and now trains fighters out of six days a week.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Cuellar’s family resettled in Miami when he was three with Orlando living there through high school. Kama bondia mchanga, Cuellar vividly remembers watching boxers at 5th St. Gym such as Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Curto na Florentino Fernandez, as well as legendary trainers, brothers Angelo na Chris Dundee.
“I watched and learned, picking up as much as much as I could,” Cuellar alisema. “Sasa, I find myself working out of the 5th St. Gym for the past six weeks. It’s been an incredible experience. Kila siku, you never know who is going to walk through the doors there. It’s been one of the best boxing gyms in the world for more than 50 miaka. From the days dating back to Muhammad Ali, fighters have been attracted to this gym because of its rich history and great sparring, as well as to the area with South Beach’s restaurants, clubs and beach. The warm, humid weather also makes it easier for fighters to lose weight running and training.
“(Owner) Dino Spencer is carrying on the 5th St. Gym’s tradition. Everyday I’m there is exciting for me. Mixed ethnic groups train there and it’s a magnet for talent. There’s sparring three days a week – I call it Spar-a-rama – and everybody’s welcome to challenge themselves. The sparring is better than a lot of TV fights.
“5th St. Gym trainer Guy Laieta had been trying to convince me to join the team for the last five years. I spoke to Dino on several occasions, expressing my desire to train fighters out of the 5th St. Gym. He said, ‘Let’s do it.’ The success of the 5th St. Gym today has a lot to do with ownership. Dino has a passion for boxing and he is very hospitable, which trickles down to his staff and fighters. Good vibes all of the time!”
Cuellar left for Las Vegas in 1976 na, after he realized that being a boxer wasn’t in his best interest, he started training fighters there in 1981 out of Johnny Garcia’s Gym. A year later, he shifted his base Brooklyn and started training fighters out of another boxing icon, Gleason ya Gym. Katika 2000, he resettled in Miami.
Best known as world light heavyweight champion the head trainer of Glen Johnson, Cuellar also worked with future champions such as Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy na Erslandy Lara, vilevile Luis Franco, Aaron Davis na Juan Carlos Gomez, to name a few of the more notables. Leo, he’s the chief second for several top fighters including Antonio Tarver.
Recognized throughout boxing as a superior teacher, Cuellar’s success is mostly attributed to his training of fighters on an individual basis, focusing on their personal needs rather than giving all fighters the same instructions and attention.
“Each fighter needs personal and specific work to complement their God-given talents,” Cuellar explained. “You can’t teach all fighters the same way. I specialize on what I call old school meets new school. Old school was upfront and personal to go 15 raundi, new school is about throwing more punches, more foot movement and fighting from the outside. I teach doffense: defense + offense. Punches aren’t vitamins, none should be taken. Boxing is little more than a battle of reflexes; one fighters versus another, but the real trick is how the fighter uses his reflexes. I teach my fighters how to turn the ring apron into a minefield.”
Boxing has played a huge role in Cuellar’s life. Back in the 5th St. Gym is just another chapter in his unique life.
“I live through my fighters,” Cuellar concluded. “Every victory is my proudest moment. There are no big or little victories, every win is a happy moment because of all the hard work and sacrifices me and my fighter made during training camp.”
Orlando Cuellar is thrilled to have gone back to the future.

CARSON, Calif. (Aprili 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 Jumamosi usiku, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime CHAMPIONSHIP ndondi kuishi juu ya 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. Muda mfupi baadaye, 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 na 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 (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, lakiniusiku wa leo 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 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 mimi (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Fla., kwa njia ya Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Nyundo” Castle.

 

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

 

Mapema Jumamosi, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Maua (23-0, 16 Kos), ya 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.

 

Maua, kufanya yake 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, ushindi na alama ya 116-112 mara mbili na 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Hii ni ndoto ya kuja kweli – more than a dream come true – for me,” Akasema. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, ndiyo, 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,” Akasema. “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, ngumu-wakapigana, 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 mara mbili na 77-74. There were no knockdowns.

 

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

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Alhamisi:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Aliyekuwa Dunia Bingwa

“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 Jumamosi 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. ni mpiganaji kubwa. 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 Jumamosi.

 

“If I get the chance, Mimi nina kwenda kubisha naye nje. 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 Jumamosiand everything will happen there.

 

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

 

AMIR LOVE, Undefeated Super Lightweight mgombea

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

 

“Katika 2015, Nataka kuwa bingwa wa dunia. 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.

 

“Najua yeye ni [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. Kama vile Jumamosi night may the better man win.

 

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

 

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

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Lightweight mgombea

“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.

 

“Kama vile Jumamosi, 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, pia.

 

“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’ Mkufunzi

“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. Namba moja, 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 raundi, with us getting the knockout.”

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imam ya mkufunzi

“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 Jumamosi.

 

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

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Aliyekuwa Dunia Bingwa

“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. Yeye ni mgumu.

 

“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 kama 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, pete, 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.

 

“Julai [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’ Mkufunzi

“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 (Aprili 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Mfululizo kushinda tuzo- ALL ACCESS returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., as he prepares to make his Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP ndondi® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara juu ya Jumamosi, Aprili 18, kuishi juu ya Showtime (10 p.m. NA/ 7 p.m. PT) kutoka StubHub Center katika Carson, Calif.

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

Hivyo, wakati huu, nini Ningependa kufanya ni kuuliza Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. kufanya kufungua hotuba kuhusu vita hii na kidogo kuhusu anachokifanya sasa katika kambi ya mafunzo na tu jinsi anahisi juu ya mapambano.

K. Swanson

Okay. Now let’s hear from Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej, unaweza kuzungumza kidogo na kutuambia jinsi kujisikia kuhusu mapigano Jr.?

Andrzej Fonfara

I’m feeling great. I think Chavez Jr. ni mpiganaji kubwa, bingwa wa dunia. And you know, it’s good fight for me. I trained hard for the fight. We got very good camp. Sasa, we start a sparring session. Unajua, uzito wangu ni nzuri. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, pia. Then I’m back to Chicago.

Okay. Excellent. Asante sana. Next we’ll have the trainers say something very brief before we turn it over to the media for call. Hivyo, Joe Goossen, he is Julio Cesar Chavez’s trainer at this point. Joe, ungependa kufanya maoni wanandoa?

Joe Goossen

Asante. Namba moja, 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, unajua, Julio ni sana, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. Na sasa, tuko up katika Ziwa Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Naweza tu kukuambia hili — ni kujitolea sana vita hii, kiakili, kimwili, 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 asilimia. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, namba moja, kufanya kazi na Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Na bila shaka, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til Aprili 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. Hivyo, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. Pamoja na kwamba kuwa alisema, asante.

K. Swanson

Asante. Sasa, Sam Colonna, kama unaweza kutupatia maoni, na kisha tutaweza kufungua it up kwa ajili ya maswali.

Sam Colonna

Naam, kwanza, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Lakini, unajua, kabla ya ilichukua Julio Cesar Chavez na mapambano, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, 'Je kuhusu Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Nikasema, ‘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. Hivyo, ni kwenda kuwa mashindano makubwa. 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 Aprili 18.

K. Swanson

Okay. Asante. Na sasa, mwisho lakini si uchache, Ningependa kupata michache maoni kutoka Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Julai?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Najua kwamba, kwa ajili ya mwanangu, 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. Julai, unajisikiaje kuja mbali mwaka layoff?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Najisikia vizuri. Najua ni vigumu wakati uko mbali. Ni vigumu kurejesha muda wako. Lakini nimekuwa mafunzo, working at my skills. And I think, unajua, Mimi nina uhakika sana kwa sababu nimetumia maisha yangu yote katika ndondi. Mimi niko katika mwaka 13 ya kazi yangu ya kitaaluma. Hivyo sidhani hili ni tatizo kwa sababu vita hii ni katika 172 paundi. 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

Akizungumza ya cheo dunia kwamba, jinsi gani unaweza kuhisi kuhusu guys kama Adonis Stevenson na Sergey Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, baada ya vita hii, Mimi nina kwenda chini ya 168 na kukaa katika darasa hili uzito. Mmoja au miaka miwili iliyopita mimi wakiongozwa na 175 lakini kwamba alikuwa sana kwa mwili wangu. Sasa, Mimi nina 168. Lakini, kwa mwaka mmoja off, vita hii ni katika 172.

Q

Andrzej, jinsi gani unaweza kuhisi kimwili kuja mbali Adonis Stevenson vita?

 

A. Fonfara

Nadhani ilionyesha againstStevenson kwamba mimi alikuwa mpiganaji. Kimwili, Najisikia vizuri sasa. Tangu kupambana na kwamba, I’ve been training much harder. Nadhani, kwa sababu ya kupambana na kwamba, Mimi nina boxer bora kwa sababu, unajua, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Nimekuwa mafunzo kwa bidii kwa ajili ya vita hii, kama, unajua, 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, Mimi nina daima mafunzo kwa bidii.

 

Q

Hii ni kwa ajili ya wote Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., wazi, kuna faida na labda drawback, pia, 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, ambayo baadhi ya kusema ilikuwa vigumu, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, nini kuhusu kwamba, mzigo na faida ya kuwa na jina kama maarufu?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Lakini, unajua, Nadhani hii ni faida. Lakini hii haina msaada kwangu katika pete. Mimi nina kuthibitika katika pete. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, namba mbili, namba tatu na la nne katika 168 paundi. Na nimepata ilionyesha kila mtu, watu, kwamba naweza kupambana, pia. Mimi ni mpiganaji mzuri na (Mimi kuweka juu ya mapambano nzuri). Na watu kama kuona mapambano yangu. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, pia, mtindo wa Fonfara ni kuja kupambana, 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. Ni wazi, ni kusaidiwa kupata mawazo, but we are very different. Yeye — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Kimwili, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Hivyo, kuna mazuri na mabaya, and we understand that. Lakini, yeye ni mpiganaji yake mwenyewe tu kama nilikuwa.

 

Q

Am, 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?

Unajua nini? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Lakini, kulikuwa na angalau tatu, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Mimi kwenda, 'Hiyo ni guy tunataka,’ kwa sababu, kama nilivyosema awali, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, unajua? He’s going to be right there for us. Hivyo, style ni kweli, kweli mchanganyiko mzuri.

 

Q

Andrzej, umefanya vita katika middleweight, super middleweight, mwanga Heavyweight. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, au kufanya wewe kujisikia wewe ni kweli mwanga Heavyweight?

 

A. Fonfara

Mimi nina mwanga 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. Mimi kawaida kupambana katika 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, kama, mbili, £ 3 chini kwa sababu, unajua, wakati mimi vita Stevenson mwaka wa Mei, Mimi nilikuwa 173 basi. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, unajua? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

 

Q

Julai Jr., ni kiasi gani cha misaada ni kwa ajili ya wewe hatimaye kupambana baada ya mwaka? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Hivyo, jinsi gani kuhisi kwa wewe kujua wewe hatimaye kuwa na vita up mbele?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Najisikia vizuri. Najisikia kubwa, unajua, 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 Aprili 18 kwa Fonfara. Najisikia vizuri, Najisikia kubwa. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Lakini mimi nina msisimko sana kuwa kurudi) na pete.

 

Q

Joe Goossen, ambayo ya ujuzi wa Julio Cesar ni kutafsiri bora kwa ajili ya mwanga Heavyweight mgawanyiko?

J. Goossen

Naam, kwanza mbali, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. I mean, 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. Na bila shaka, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — kimsingi, 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, Nadhani sisi ni kwenda kuwa na uwezo wa hit 172 mark quite easily. Lakini, tena, 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, wakati sisi zinahitajika sanduku, 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, tunakwenda kuwa na mafanikio na ni.

Q

Je, unaweza kufanya uzito?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ndiyo. Sure. I’ll make 172 kwa sababu mimi kulipa $100,000 kwa kilo (Kama sifanyi). Siwezi kulipa kiasi hicho cha pesa. Sijawahi vunja zaidi ya 172 katika mapambano. mapambano tu mimi alifanya 172 ni pamoja na Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, katika michuano wangu wote kikohozi (Mimi kamwe hakufanya uzito). Mimi sijui ni kwa nini unaniuliza kwamba. Okay. Maybe, Mimi nina fighter kubwa, unajua? I know I am a bigger fighter. Lakini, Sina matatizo. Na (kama yeye hana) si kufanya uzito, labda mimi itabidi kushinda $100,000 zaidi.

Q

Hivyo, Julai, wewe ni matumaini kwa $100,000 kutoka Andrzej Fonfara, lakini wewe ni kusema kwamba anapaswa matumaini kwa $100,000 kutoka kwenu?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Je Si, hawana. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, unajua, kwa sababu (Mimi kuja katika nyepesi). Unajua, uzito ni nzuri nadhani kwa wapiganaji wote.

 

Q

Unaweza kuzungumzia kuhusu uamuzi wako kuwa na Joe Goossen katika kona yako, kujisikia, kama matokeo ya Vera kupambana, kwamba wewe deni mashabiki utendaji?

 

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Naam, 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, pamoja, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Naweza kukuambia kwamba, this show is for the people. Ni kwenda kuwa mapambano kubwa. It’s going to be a better fight. Na sasa, na kukuza yangu mpya kampuni na kwa kujua nani mpinzani wangu ni kwenda kuwa mapema, Nadhani ni kwenda kuwa usiku kubwa.
