Vanes, koj xav hais tias ib tug ob peb lo lus, qhia peb yuav ua li cas txoj kev kawm yog mus thiab yuav ua li cas koj nyob nraum npaj rau lub sib ntaus?

Vanes Martirosyan

Kev kawm yog mus zoo, everything is going good. We can’t wait to fight. Koj paub, Kuv paub hais tias txhua leej txhua tus hais tias ua ntej lawv tua, but we really are ready to go. We just can’t wait to go.

Tam sim no, 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, txhua txhua lub sij hawm kuv tau npaj rau ib tug sib ntaus, 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. Yog li ntawd, training camp has been good. Trainer Ronnie Shields, Danny Arnold. Kuv tau qhib kuv tus kheej gym, so I get a little late night extra hours in when I want to. Thiab, I want to fight with my twin brother. We’re pushing to fight. I can’t wait to fight. Just like Vanes, nws yog tshaib plab, nws yog npaj txhij. I’m I’m ready.

Q

Muab ob ntawm koj txoj hauj lwm, raws li xam tau tias yog raws li saum toj 10 contenders nyob rau hauv lub 154 phaus ceeb thawj hoob kawm, nyob rau hauv koj lub siab, cas koj xav txog qhov no ib tug tshem tawm sib ntaus? Vanes, dab tsi yog koj xav txog hais tias?

Lub. 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 — Kuv xav tias nws yog — an eliminator fight. I’m looking at this as a championship fight. Jermell is tougher than any of the champions, li ntawd rau kuv, qhov no yog ib championship sib ntaus, and that’s what we got ready for. And it should be an eliminator fight. I don’t know if it is or not, tab sis hais tias yog yuav ua li cas peb noj nws li, thiab peb nyob nraum noj qhov no raws li ib lub ntiaj teb title sib ntaus.

Q

Jermell, koj xav hais tias – yog nws ib tug hauj lwm eliminator los yog ib tug de facto ib?

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 — loj hlob nrog nws. I know what I bring to the table. And this fight is a fight for manhood, nws yog ib tug sib ntaus los qhia leej twg ntawm qhov tycoon ntawm kev ua si nawv yog nyob rau hauv lub 154 pound weight division. There’s a lot at stake, yog li ntawd nws yog ntau tshaj ib tug title sib ntaus rau kuv.

Q

Jermell, koj puas tau hais tias koj loj hlob nrog nws ib tug me ntsis?

J. Charlo

Hmoob, Kuv loj hlob nrog nws, tsawg kawg yog ob los yog peb lub xyoos nrog Vanes, koj paub, thiab nws tsev neeg, nws cov neeg, koj paub? Yog li ntawd, Kuv paub — peb paub txhua lwm yam zoo.

Q

Muaj koj hais mav puas tau sparred nrog txhua lwm yam?

J. Charlo

Hmoob, peb twb sparred nrog txhua lwm yam ob peb lub sij hawm.

Q

Yuav ua li cas feem ntau, Koj yuav hais? 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, tseem muaj ib tug me nyuam tub loj hlob mus rau hauv ib tug txiv neej. Yog li ntawd, txoj cai tam sim no, Kuv tsis txawm xav txog yuav ua li cas nws yog, dab tsi nws yog hais txog, los yog yuav ua li cas cob qhia yog lub thaum peb raug cob ua ke. Yog tsis txawm 19 — Kuv yog 17, 16, 17, 18, Kuv txhais li cas, those ages. Ntawm no, peb fim txhua lwm yam vim hais tias peb nyob ob rau saum, 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, koj xav tias tib txoj kev hais txog koj lub sij hawm nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib nrog nws?

Lub. Martirosyan

Hmoob, I remember when we used to train. It was good training. We were always in competition — kuv, 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, nws txiv, thiab nws tus kws qhia, Ronnie Shields. They’ve been good people to me. Tab sis Saturday hmo ntuj, nws yuav ua kuv tus yeeb ncuab nyob rau hauv lub nplhaib. Rau tam sim no, sab nraum lub nplhaib, Kuv hwm txhua leej txhua tus. Once we step in the ring, nws yog ib tug lig zaj dabneeg sib txawv.

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?

Lub. Martirosyan

Ua Tsis, vim hais tias thaum uas sib ntaus, peb yuav tsum tau nco qab ntsoov txog ib tug ntau ntawm tej yam uas. Dan passed away. We were all sad, and we didn’t know what to do. And we actually thought — 'Peb yuav tsum tua’ los yog kuv tsis paub hais tias Joe (Goossen lub) 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. Thaum kuv poob rau Andrade, Kuv tsis tau nqis mus rau lub nplhaib 100 feem pua, thiab thaum kuv tuaj hauv tsev — thaum koj los tsev ib tug swb, nws yog ib tug phem lawm. Kuv tsis tau saib kuv tus poj niam, my kids. I feel like I let them down. Yog li ntawd, txoj cai tam sim no, Kuv cia li nyob rau hauv uas hom twg kuv yuav theej tuag tshaj pom tias dua.

Q

Yog hais tias koj twb los yeej muaj qhov kev sib ntaus, obviously, koj xav tau nyob rau hauv txoj hauj lwm rau ib tug loj lub ntiaj teb no title sib ntaus. Yog koj xis nrog tos rau ib qho ntawm cov, koj khom lub tsheb cov neeg tua hluav taws tsuas tua tej zaum ob zaug ib xyoos, los yog koj yuav xav kom nyob twj ywm kom nquag plias thiab noj ntau fights nruab nrab ntawm lawv?

J. Charlo

Koj paub, winning no sib ntaus rau kuv — 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. Sib ntaus sib tua rau lub ntiaj teb no title teeb meem thiab tag nrho cov no ntxiv khoom, tab sis yog hais tias kuv no tsim tau kuv lub npe thiab lub tsev kuv hom, uas yog cia li raws li ib qho tseem ceeb. Ua ib tug neeg hauv tsev neeg lub npe thoob plaws lub ntiaj teb Boxing Council, txhua yam. Uas tseem ceeb rau kuv.

Lub. Martirosyan

Lub sib ntaus, no sib ntaus — Kuv xav hais tias zoo li ib tug ntau ntawm cov champions uas Champions tam sim no nyob rau hauv peb ceeb thawj hoob kawm, feem ntau ntawm lawv cia li khiav lawv lub qhov ncauj, starting with Andrade. A fight like this for me and Jermell, nws yog xws li ib tug loj sib ntaus rau kuv, koj paub, but it’s not only for us. Kuv txhais li cas, it’s for the fans. The fans are in, and it’s great. Kuv txhais li cas, you rarely get to see contenders like me and Jermell wanting to step up and fight each other. Koj paub, feem ntau, cov neeg yuav tau txais mus txog rau lub rankings zoo li peb yog, they just want to just talk a lot of bad stuff about the champions to get the world title fight. Tab sis, koj paub, koj tsis tshua muaj tau mus saib contenders zoo li hais tias, koj paub, Ua Tsis. 1 thiab tsis. 2 fighting each other when, you know they really want to fight each other and they both said yes to the fight. Yog li ntawd, nws yog ib tug loj sib ntaus, tab sis kuv xav tias zoo li, koj paub, peb tag nrho yuav tsum yog — peb nyob nraum yuav ua peb zoo tshaj plaws, thiab kuv xav tias zoo li tus kiv cua yog yuav yuav tus winners rau hauv no sib ntaus.

K Swanson

K. Swanson

Yog koj ua dab tsi nyob rau hauv camp nyob rau hauv kev npaj rau qhov no uas yog txawv los ntawm koj lwm fights?

G. Russell Jr.

Ua Tsis, we’re not doing anything that’s different in preparation for any of the fights. I think the only difference is, nyob ntawm seb kev sib ntaus, you want to prepare depending on the opponent that you’re competing against. Yog li ntawd, Kuv xav tias cov tsuas yog txawv yog qhov txawv nyob rau hauv sparring. Koj xav kom coj nyob rau hauv hais mav uas muaj ib tug uas zoo sib xws style uas nws yog koj nyob nraum yuav tsum sib tw tiv thaiv thiab lwm yam. That’s the only change that we’ve made so far.

I’m extremely grateful and thankful for this opportunity.

Q

Thaum koj tiv thaiv lub sib ntaus tawm tsam Lomachenko rau ib tug ntawm cov npe meej mom, koj noj dab tsi tawm ntawm hais tias yeej? Seb nws yog txoj kev, los yog ua rau theem ntawm cov theem uas koj coj ntawm no tom ntej no championship sijhawm?

G. Russell Jr.

Ntawm chav kawm. One of the main things that we took out of it is, yog hais tias nws tsis tsoo, 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. Peb twb pom lub sij hawm ntawm hais tias thiab kev phiv los ntawm nws. Peb tsis siv losses yooj yim, nyob deb. 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.

G. Russell Jr.

Lawv nyob nraum ob txawv neeg tua hluav taws. 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. Koj noj tsis muaj leej twg khuv xim. Peb twv yuav raug hu hais tias, oh, qhov no yog ib tug txaus ntshai sib ntaus noj nrog Jhonny Gonzalez, tiam sis peb xav tias kev zoo li cas peb coj mus rau lub rooj yuav superior nyob rau hauv lub kawg.

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, peb twb nyob rau hauv ib tug sauna rau yav dhau los ob, maybe three days leading all the way up into the fight. That’s what my strength and conditioning coach wanted me to do.

Leej twg hais tias yog pom tias kev sib ntaus, seb nws yog Lomachenko los yog lwm tus, lawv twb pom qhov txawv nyob rau hauv kuv xuas nrig ntaus muaj peev xwm, kuv endurance, kuv ceev, cia li kuv raws li ib tug neeg. Cov neeg paub hais tias tias tsis yog lub Gary Russell, Jr. hais tias lawv yuav pom yav dhau los 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, koj paub?

Q

Hais txog Jhonny Gonzalez — nws obviously yog ib tug txiv leej tub uas yog ib tug volume Puncher, nws yog tsis ntshai sawv nyob rau hauv thiab lag luam. Ua li cas no sib ntaus ua hauj lwm rau koj kom zoo dua yog hais tias nws tsis tua ib tug raug Gonzalez sib ntaus nyob rau hauv koj lub siab?

G. Russell, Jr.

Kuv tsis xav hais tias nws mus yuav tau nrog, ib zaug dua, kuv ceev. 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 — tus taw quickness. Thiab ib tug ntau ntawm nws txhaj tshuaj muaj ib tug me ntsis ntau. Yog li ntawd, Kuv yuav hais txog outpunch nws thiab yuav tau ntaus nws ntawm nws txhaj tshuaj.

Q

Dab tsi koj xav seb qhov kev txiav txim nyob rau hauv lub Lomachenko sib ntaus?

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, thiab kuv tsi tau pom vim li cas vim li cas kuv poob — nws yog vim hais tias kuv tsis muaj peev xwm ua dab tsi nws yog hais tias kuv feem ntau ua.

Q

Yog li ntawd, koj xav tias koj poob rau hauv lub sib ntaus ces?

G. Russell Jr.

Certainly. I’d definitely say that I lost the fight.

Q

Koj yuav kov raug rau Al Haymon ntxov. Koj yuav piav li cas nws feem yog nyob rau hauv koj cov hauj lwm? And we’ve all seen the moves that he’s been making. How is that gonna help you moving forward?

G. Russell, Jr.

Kuv xav tias qhov hluav taws kub yog nyob rau hauv cov managers thiab promoters. Muaj ib pab neeg siab. Koj mam li yuav tau qhia rau koj tus neeg saib xyuas los yog koj pab txhawb, 'Hav, qhov no yog kuv txoj kev npaj, 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, tej zaum rau fights xyoo no, thiab lwm yam. Koj tus nai thiab pab txhawb, qhov twg lawv tuaj nyob rau hauv, they should be able to meet you halfway with their game plan. If you want to have six fights within a year, thiab lwm yam, 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. Nws yog hais txog cov uas koj paub, Kuv twv.

Q

Mus rau hauv no sib ntaus, Koj puas xav tias zoo li koj yuav tsum muab ib tug tej yam zoo ntawm kev sib ntaus los yeej ua kiv cua txheeb koj thiab ua rau koj ib tug neeg hauv tsev neeg lub npe? Now that there’s so many platforms for boxing, Koj puas xav tias zoo li muaj ntxiv siab rau muab tso rau ib tug muaj siab sib ntaus, los yog koj xav tias zoo li koj muaj peev xwm tseem cia li, methodically lub thawv thiab nce kiv cua los ntawm hais tias?

G. Russell Jr.

Kuv ua siab ncaj tsis txhob xav li uas peb tau ua ib yam dab tsi tawm ntawm qhov dog dig. Koj yuav pom cov ntse Gary Russell, Jr. hais tias koj twb pom yav dhau los 24 fights — tes ceev, xuas nrig ntaus muaj peev xwm, nplhaib generalship thiab lwm yam. ,Ib tug ntau ntawm neeg tua hluav taws tau ntes tau nyob rau hauv lub hype, thiab lawv xav tias lawv yuav tsum ua tej yam ib tug me ntsis xav paub ntau tshaj los yeej tus kiv cua tshaj, thiab lwm yam. 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
