Asante. Okay, let’s go ahead and open it up. Kweli, let me go ahead and introduce the two guys that are on the call right now. They want to say a couple words. Kwanza, we have Vanes Martirosyan. He’s a world-ranked 154 pound contender. Vanes, unataka kusema maneno wanandoa, kutuambia jinsi mafunzo ni kwenda na jinsi wewe ni kupata tayari kwa ajili ya kupambana?
Vanes Martirosyan
Mafunzo ni kwenda kubwa, everything is going good. We can’t wait to fight. Unajua, Mimi nina uhakika kila mtu anasema kwamba kabla ya kupambana na, but we really are ready to go. We just can’t wait to go.
Kelly Swanson
Okay, kubwa. Asante sana. And where are you training?
The. Martirosyan
I’m training here in California at Main Event Sports Club. There’s been a couple of locations we’ve been training, lakini kubwa imekuwa Kuu Tukio Sports Club, ambayo vyombo vya habari itakuwa leo.
K. Swanson
Sasa, I’m going to move to Jermell Charlo. He’s an undefeated super welterweight contender. Jermell why don’t you tell us a little bit about what’s happening in your training camp and how you’re feeling heading into the fight.
Jermell CHARLO
Training’s been great. Every time I step in the ring, kila wakati mimi kupata tayari kwa mapambano, I feel like just there’s never been a time where I repeat myself or do something the same. I’ve been learning from all my past mistakes. Every win I’m still learning from. Hivyo, training camp has been good. Trainer Ronnie Shields, Danny Arnold. Mimi kufunguliwa mazoezi yangu mwenyewe, so I get a little late night extra hours in when I want to. Na, I want to fight with my twin brother. We’re pushing to fight. I can’t wait to fight. Just like Vanes, yeye ni njaa, yeye tayari. I’m I’m ready.
Q
Kutokana wote wawili wa nafasi yako, kama kuchukuliwa kama juu 10 wagombea katika 154 pound uzito darasa, katika akili yako, Je, wewe kufikiria hii kuondoa kupambana? Vanes, nini mawazo yako juu ya kwamba?
The. Martirosyan
I think every fight right now at this point in my career and Jermell’s career should be considered a title fight. It is — Nadhani ni — an eliminator fight. I’m looking at this as a championship fight. Jermell is tougher than any of the champions, hivyo kwangu, hii ni michuano ya kupambana, and that’s what we got ready for. And it should be an eliminator fight. I don’t know if it is or not, lakini hiyo ni jinsi sisi ni kuchukua ni kama, na sisi ni kuchukua hii kama cheo dunia vita.
Q
Jermell, mawazo yako juu ya kwamba – ni eliminator rasmi au de facto moja?
J. CHARLO
Same thing with me. I feel that this is a tough fight. Every fight is a fight for my life. And I step in the ring and make sure that I fight with that on the back of my mind. Vanes is a great fighter — akakua pamoja naye. I know what I bring to the table. And this fight is a fight for manhood, ni kupambana na kuonyesha ambaye Tycoon halisi ya mchezo ni katika 154 pound weight division. There’s a lot at stake, hivyo ni zaidi ya cheo kupambana na mimi.
Q
Jermell, Ulisema kwamba alikua pamoja naye kidogo?
J. CHARLO
Yeah, Mimi alikulia pamoja naye, angalau miaka miwili au mitatu na Vanes, unajua, na familia yake, watu wake, unajua? Hivyo, Najua — sisi kujua kila mmoja vizuri.
Q
Je, guys milele sparred na kila mmoja?
J. CHARLO
Yeah, tumekuwa sparred na kila mmoja mara kadhaa.
Q
Ni mara ngapi, unaweza kusema? And how long ago?
J. CHARLO
I can’t really say how often. I know it was back when we were a little bit younger. I was younger, bado kijana mdogo kupanda juu ndani ya mtu. Hivyo, sasa hivi, Sijui hata kufikiria jinsi ilivyokuwa, nini ilikuwa kuhusu, au jinsi mafunzo hayo lilikuwa tulipokuwa mafunzo pamoja. Na hata 19 — Mimi nilikuwa 17, 16, 17, 18, I mean, those ages. Here, sisi uso kila mmoja kwa sababu tuko wote juu, and that’s what happens when you’re in the same division. Never had anything personal or different to say about him. It’s just work.
Q
Vanes, kujisikia njia hiyo kuhusu mara yako katika pete pamoja naye?
The. Martirosyan
Yeah, I remember when we used to train. It was good training. We were always in competition — me, him and his brother. We used to go running at Memorial Park every day, and we’d try to see who’d finish the lap first. It was always competition between us — running and training or what-not. But it was nothing but love and I respect him, baba yake, na mkufunzi wake, Ronnie Shields. They’ve been good people to me. Lakini Jumamosi usiku, yeye kwenda kuwa adui yangu katika pete. Kwa sasa, nje ya pete, Mimi kuheshimu kila mtu. Once we step in the ring, ni hadithi tofauti kabisa.
Q
Your fight that took place in October was a big win for you against Willie Nelson. You harnessed a lot of the emotion going into that fight because it had taken place just after your promoter Dan Goossen had passed away and you had his brother Joe in your corner. It was a lot of heavy emotion that night, and you really came through in a big way that night. Is it gonna be difficult in any way to sort of get that same emotion behind you?
The. Martirosyan
Je Si, kwa sababu katika kupambana na kwamba, tulikuwa na kusahau kuhusu mambo mengi. Dan passed away. We were all sad, and we didn’t know what to do. And we actually thought — 'Tunapaswa kupambana’ au mimi sijui kama Joe (Goossen ya) going to be there. I didn’t know what was going on. There was too much emotion going into that fight. We kind of got away from the fight a little bit. But we used it as motivation for our fight. This fight to me is big. Wakati mimi waliopotea na Andrade, Sikuweza hatua katika pete 100 asilimia, na wakati mimi alikuja nyumbani — wakati wewe kuja nyumbani loser, ni hisia mbaya. Siwezi kuangalia mke wangu, my kids. I feel like I let them down. Hivyo, sasa hivi, Mimi tu katika hali ya kwamba ambapo nisingependa kufa kuliko kuona kwamba tena.
Q
Kama ungekuwa na kushinda vita hii, wazi, wewe d kuwa katika nafasi kwa ajili ya kubwa cheo dunia vita. Je, wewe ni starehe na kusubiri kwa ajili ya mmoja wa wale, kuhesabia wapiganaji wale tu kupambana labda mara mbili kwa mwaka, au unataka kukaa hai na kuchukua mapambano zaidi kati yao?
J. CHARLO
Unajua, kushinda vita hii kwangu — a world title would be ideal. A world title is important. I want to fight for a world title. I want the world title. That’s every boxer’s dream and envision whenever they’re young. Kupambana na kwa ajili ya dunia mambo cheo na mambo haya yote ya ziada, lakini kama mimi nina hapa kujenga jina langu na ujenzi wa bidhaa yangu, kwamba tu kama muhimu. Kuwa jina kaya katika World Boxing Council, kila kitu. Kwamba mambo kwangu.
The. Martirosyan
kupambana, vita hii — Ningesema kama mengi ya mabingwa kwamba ni mabingwa hivi sasa katika yetu darasa uzito, wengi wao kukimbia tu vinywa vyao, starting with Andrade. A fight like this for me and Jermell, ni kama vita kubwa kwa ajili yangu, unajua, but it’s not only for us. I mean, it’s for the fans. The fans are in, and it’s great. I mean, you rarely get to see contenders like me and Jermell wanting to step up and fight each other. Unajua, kawaida, watu kupata hadi rankings kama sisi ni, they just want to just talk a lot of bad stuff about the champions to get the world title fight. Lakini, unajua, mara chache kupata kuona wagombea kama kwamba, unajua, Je Si. 1 na No. 2 fighting each other when, you know they really want to fight each other and they both said yes to the fight. Hivyo, ni vita kubwa, lakini mimi kuhisi kama, unajua, tuko wote gonna kuwa — sisi ni gonna kufanya kazi nzuri ya, na mimi kuhisi kama mashabiki ni gonna kuwa washindi kwa vita hii.
K Swanson
Okay, kubwa. You guys, Nadhani swali yako ya mwisho, and so we appreciate you taking the time out of your training. And Vanes, we look forward to seeing you later for your open workout. Na, Jermell, tutaona katika Las Vegas baadaye wiki hii.
J. CHARLO
No problem. See you, guys.
The. Martirosyan – Asante. Take care.
Kelly Swanson
Tunakwenda kubadili wito juu ya Gary Russell, Jr.
K. Swanson
Gary Russell, Jr. itakuwa inakabiliwa na Jhonny Gonzalez Gonzalez kwa ya 126 cheo pound, the WBC Featherweight World Championship. Gary, kama unataka kutuambia kidogo kuhusu jinsi mafunzo ni kwenda, kutarajia yako kuwa mapigano Jhonny Gonzalez jina hili dunia na nini unafikiri juu ya mapambano nzima kwa ujumla?
Gary Russell Jr.
Tulikuwa kambi kubwa ya mafunzo. Kila kitu imekuwa kamili, udhuru, no cutting corners. We’re 120 percent ready for this fight. We can’t wait be able to call ourself the new WBC World Champion.
K. Swanson
Je, wewe kufanya kitu chochote katika kambi katika maandalizi kwa ajili ya hii kwamba tofauti na mapambano yako mengine?
G. Russell Jr.
Je Si, we’re not doing anything that’s different in preparation for any of the fights. I think the only difference is, kutegemea mapambano, you want to prepare depending on the opponent that you’re competing against. Hivyo, Nadhani tofauti tu ni tofauti katika sparring. Unataka kuleta guys kuwa na style sawa na ambao ni wewe gonna kuwa mashindano dhidi nk. That’s the only change that we’ve made so far. Licha ya kwamba — misingi ya msingi, pete generalship, kasi mkono, nguvu kuchomwa, nguvu na hali ya, yote ya mambo ambayo ni sawa.
Q
Gna, walikuwa wewe kushangazwa kupata mwingine risasi katika cheo?
G. Russell, Jr.
Je Si, Mimi si kushangaa. I got sawa Al HAYMON Promotions, tu Al HAYMON kwa ujumla linapokuja kwamba. Yeye ni meneja wangu, na tunajua kwamba yeye alifanya kila kitu katika uwezo wake kujaribu kufanya mambo kutokea kwa sisi, and give us another shot at a world title. I’m extremely grateful and thankful for this opportunity.
Q
Wakati vita vita dhidi ya Lomachenko kwa moja ya majina, gani unaweza kuchukua kitu chochote nje ya kwamba kushindwa? Kama ni uzoefu, au kuwa juu ya kuwa kiwango cha hatua kwamba wewe kuleta kuelekea hii ya pili ya michuano ya nafasi?
G. Russell Jr.
Bila shaka. One of the main things that we took out of it is, kama si kuvunja, don’t fix it. In that particular fight with Lomachenko, we did a lot of things completely different in that fight that we normally wouldn’t do. We brought other people in. We let other people take the reigns and be in control of our conditioning. Tumeona matokeo ya kuwa na madhara yake. Hatuwezi kuchukua hasara rahisi, kwa mbali. So we’re back on pace. We have the same team around us that have been here from the beginning of my career all the way up until now. Tulikuwa huo timu njia ya nyuma katika mwendo. Tuko tayari, tuko umakini, tuko kuamua, tuko inaendeshwa na sisi ni kuangalia tu kutoa show nzuri.
Q
Je, unaweza kuona Gonzalez kama mpiganaji bora zaidi kuliko Lomachenko, au labda kidogo ya mpiganaji hatari zaidi kuliko au sawa Lomachenko? Jinsi gani unaweza stack up mbili wamiliki cheo?
G. Russell Jr.
Wao ni wapiganaji wawili tofauti sana. Lomachenko has a little bit more hand speed than Jhonny Gonzalez. Gonzalez is more of a puncher. Jhonny Gonzalez is more of a dangerous fighter than Lomachenko just because of his punching ability and just him being a seasoned professional, being able to get all these rounds in as a professional. Lomachenko definitely is a good fighter. We take every fight serious. Unaweza kuchukua hakuna mtu kwa nafasi. Sisi dhahiri alisema, oh, hii ni vita hatari kuchukua na Jhonny Gonzalez, lakini sisi kujisikia kama ingawa nini sisi kuleta mezani itakuwa bora katika mwisho.
Q
Ni nini hasa ulienda kufanya tofauti na kujiandaa kwa ajili ya Lomachenko kwamba unataka wewe alikuwa si?
G. Russell, Jr.
We brought someone in for our strength and conditioning. We’ve known our strength and conditioning was completely different. Even when it came to the way that we cut weight, it was different. Leading up to the fight, tulikuwa katika Sauna kwa miwili iliyopita, maybe three days leading all the way up into the fight. That’s what my strength and conditioning coach wanted me to do.
Mtu yeyote kwamba ni kuonekana kupambana na kwamba, kama ni Lomachenko au mtu mwingine, wameweza kuonekana tofauti katika uwezo wangu kuchomwa, uvumilivu wangu, kasi yangu, tu mimi kama mtu. Watu alijua kwamba hiyo haikuwa Gary Russell, Jr. kwamba wao d kuonekana uliopita 24 fights.And that was some of the things that came up in the Lomachenko fight. I was completely tired and fatigued in the first round, unajua?
Q
Kuhusu Jhonny Gonzalez — yeye ni wazi ni kijana ambaye ni kiasi puncher, yeye si hofu ya kusimama katika na biashara. Jinsi gani hii kazi ya kupambana kwa faida yako kama yeye hana kupambana kawaida Gonzalez kupambana katika akili yako?
G. Russell, Jr.
Sidhani kwamba yeye kwenda kuwa na uwezo wa kukabiliana na, kwa mara nyingine tena, kasi yangu. I think we’ll be able to do it with my speed. He’s always been slow in the speed. Even though he’s been a puncher, a lot of punchers have to really sit to actually apply these punches efficiently. I think he lacks the ring generalship as far as the footwork goes that he would need — mguu quickness. Na mengi ya shots wake ni kidogo pana. Hivyo, Mimi itabidi kuwa juu ya outpunch yeye na kuwa na uwezo wa Punch naye kati ya shots yake.
Q
Je, unafikiri ya uamuzi katika Lomachenko kupambana?
G. Russell Jr.
I didn’t think anything of it. The only thing that registered in my mind was the fact that I didn’t have the ability to perform the way that I normally would have. I never really looked at a decision. I never looked at how the referee was going about the fight or any of these things. The only thing that came to my mind was the fact that I just lost my first professional fight, na mimi aina ya aliona sababu mimi waliopotea — ilikuwa ni kwa sababu sikuwa na uwezo wa kufanya nini ilikuwa kwamba mimi kawaida kufanya.
Q
Hivyo, wewe kujisikia kwamba wewe waliopotea vita basi?
G. Russell Jr.
Certainly. I’d definitely say that I lost the fight.
Q
You kuguswa juu ya Al HAYMON mapema. Je, unaweza kueleza nini matokeo yake ni katika kazi yako? And we’ve all seen the moves that he’s been making. How is that gonna help you moving forward?
G. Russell, Jr.
Najisikia kama ingawa moto ni chini ya mameneja hizi na promoters. Kuna juhudi za timu. Wewe utakuwa na uwezo wa kuwaambia meneja wako au promoter yako, 'Hey, huu ni mchezo wangu mpango, this is what it is that I want to accomplish this year.’ I wanted to at least be able to contend for a world title. I want to have maybe four fights this year, labda sita mapambano mwaka huu, nk. Meneja wako na promoter, ambapo wao kuja katika, they should be able to meet you halfway with their game plan. If you want to have six fights within a year, nk, your manager and promoter should be able to get it done for you. We feel as though that Al Haymon is very efficient in doing exactly what it is that we want from him. Ni kuhusu ambao unajua, Nadhani.
Q
Viongozi ndani ya vita hii, Unahisi kama una kutoa ubora fulani ya mapambano kwa kweli kufanya mashabiki yanahusiana na wewe na kukufanya jina kaya? Now that there’s so many platforms for boxing, Unahisi kama kuna aliongeza shinikizo kuweka juu ya mapambano ya kusisimua, au kufanya kujisikia kama bado unaweza tu, methodically sanduku na kupata mashabiki na kwamba?
G. Russell Jr.
Mimi uaminifu si kujisikia kama ingawa kwamba tuna kufanya kitu chochote nje ya kawaida. Wewe ni kwenda kuona kawaida Gary Russell, Jr. kwamba ve kuonekana uliopita 24 mapambano — kasi mkono, uwezo kuchomwa, pete generalship na nk. ,mengi ya wapiganaji kupata hawakupata juu katika Hype, na wao wanaona kana kwamba wao kufanya mambo kidogo zaidi kushinda mashabiki juu ya, nk. That’s never one of my things. I’m always to be exciting without being reckless. And I’m going to do what it is that I’m comfortable doing.
K. Swanson
