E dupe. Dara, let’s go ahead and open it up. Kosi, let me go ahead and introduce the two guys that are on the call right now. They want to say a couple words. First, we have Vanes Martirosyan. He’s a world-ranked 154 pound contender. Vanes, ti o ba fẹ lati sọ ọrọ kan tọkọtaya, sọ fun wa bi idanileko ti wa ni lọ ati bi o ba si sunmọ ni setan fun awọn ija?

Vanes Martirosyan

Ikẹkọ wa ni ti lọ nla, everything is going good. We can’t wait to fight. Se o mo, Mo wa daju gbogbo sọ pé ki wọn to jà, but we really are ready to go. We just can’t wait to go.

Kelly Swanson

Dara, nla. O se gan ni. And where are you training?

Awọn. Martirosyan

I’m training here in California at Main Event Sports Club. There’s been a couple of locations we’ve been training, ṣugbọn awọn pataki ti Main ti oyan idaraya Club, eyi ti awọn media yoo wa ni loni.

K. Swanson

Bayi, 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, ni gbogbo igba ti mo ti gba setan fun a ija, 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. Nítorí, training camp has been good. Trainer Ronnie Shields, Danny Arnold. Mo ti ṣí mi ti ara-idaraya, so I get a little late night extra hours in when I want to. Ati, I want to fight with my twin brother. We’re pushing to fight. I can’t wait to fight. Just like Vanes, o ni ebi npa, o ni setan. I’m I’m ready.

Q

Fi fun mejeji ti awọn ipo rẹ, bi kà bi oke 10 contenders ni 154 iwon àdánù kilasi, ninu rẹ lokan, ni o ro yi ohun imukuro ija? Vanes, ohun ti o wa nipa rẹ èrò tí?

Awọn. 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 — Mo ro pe o jẹ — an eliminator fight. I’m looking at this as a championship fight. Jermell is tougher than any of the champions, ki si mi, yi ni a asiwaju ija, and that’s what we got ready for. And it should be an eliminator fight. I don’t know if it is or not, sugbon ti o ni bi a ti n mu o bi, ati awọn ti a n mu yi bi a aye akọle ija.

Q

Jermell, rẹ èrò lori wipe – ni o ẹya osise eliminator tabi a de facto ọkan?

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 — dagba soke pẹlu rẹ. I know what I bring to the table. And this fight is a fight for manhood, o ni a ija lati fi ti o ti gidi tycoon ti awọn idaraya jẹ ninu awọn 154 pound weight division. There’s a lot at stake, ki o diẹ ẹ sii ju kan akọle ija si mi.

Q

Jermell, ni o ti sọ pé o dagba soke pẹlu rẹ kekere kan bit?

J. Charlo

Yeah, Mo ti dagba soke pẹlu rẹ, o kere ju meji tabi mẹta years pẹlu Vanes, se o mo, ati ebi re, awọn enia rẹ, se o mo? Nítorí, Mo mo — a mọ kọọkan miiran daradara.

Q

Ni o buruku lailai sparred pẹlu kọọkan miiran?

J. Charlo

Yeah, a ti sọ sparred pẹlu kọọkan miiran ni igba pupọ.

Q

Bawo ni o ṣe n waye si, yoo o sọ? 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, si tun kekere kan ọmọkunrin dagba soke sinu ọkunrin kan. Nítorí, ni bayi, Emi ko paapaa ro nipa bi o ti wà, ohun ti o wà nipa, tabi bi o ikẹkọ je nigba ti a ni won ikẹkọ papọ. Je ko paapaa 19 — Mo ti wà 17, 16, 17, 18, Mo mọ, those ages. Nibi, a koju kọọkan miiran nitori a ba mejeji ni oke, 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, ti o ba lero ni ọna kanna nipa rẹ ni igba ninu oruka pẹlu rẹ?

Awọn. Martirosyan

Yeah, I remember when we used to train. It was good training. We were always in competition — mi, 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 rẹ, ati awọn rẹ olukọni, Ronnie Shields. They’ve been good people to me. Ṣugbọn Saturday night, o ti n lilọ si jẹ mi ọtá ni iwọn. Ni bayi, ita iwọn, Mo ti fi owo fun gbogbo ènìyàn. Once we step in the ring, o ni a nibe o yatọ itan.

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?

Awọn. Martirosyan

Ṣe Ko, nitori ni ti ija, a ni lati gbagbe nipa kan pupo ti ohun. Dan passed away. We were all sad, and we didn’t know what to do. And we actually thought — 'Yẹ ki a jà’ tabi Emi ko mo ti o ba ti Joe (Goossen ká) 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. Nigbati mo padanu si Andrade, Emi ko Akobaratan sinu oruka 100 ogorun, ati nigbati mo wá si ile — nigbati o ba wá si ile a olofo, o ni a buburu inú. Mo ti ko le wo ni iyawo mi, my kids. I feel like I let them down. Nítorí, ni bayi, Mo wa kan ni pé mode ibi ti mo ti fẹ kuku kú ju ri wipe tún.

Q

Ti o ba wà lati win yi ija, o han ni, o fẹ wa ni ipo pataki kan fun aye akọle ija. Ni o wa ti o itura pẹlu nduro fun ọkan ninu awon, figuring awon onija nikan ja boya lemeji odun kan, tabi ti o ba fẹ lati duro lọwọ ati ki o ya siwaju njà laarin wọn?

J. Charlo

Se o mo, gba yi ija si mi — 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. Ija fun aye akọle ọrọ ati gbogbo yi afikun nkan na, ṣugbọn ti o ba ti Mo n nibi Ilé orúkọ mi ati ki o Ilé mi brand, ti o ni o kan bi pataki. Jije a ìdílé orukọ jakejado World Boxing Council, ohun gbogbo. Ti o ọrọ si mi.

Awọn. Martirosyan

Awọn ija, yi ija — Mo ti fẹ sọ bí a pupo ti awọn aṣaju-ti o wa ni Awọn aṣaju-ọtun bayi ni wa àdánù kilasi, ọpọlọpọ awọn ti wọn kan ṣiṣe awọn ẹnu wọn, starting with Andrade. A fight like this for me and Jermell, o ni iru ńlá kan ija fun mi, se o mo, but it’s not only for us. Mo mọ, it’s for the fans. The fans are in, and it’s great. Mo mọ, you rarely get to see contenders like me and Jermell wanting to step up and fight each other. Se o mo, maa, eniyan yoo gba soke si awọn ipo bi a ba wa ni, they just want to just talk a lot of bad stuff about the champions to get the world title fight. Ṣugbọn, se o mo, o ṣọwọn gba lati ri contenders bi ti, se o mo, Ṣe Ko. 1 ati Ko si. 2 fighting each other when, you know they really want to fight each other and they both said yes to the fight. Nítorí, o ni a ńlá ija, sugbon mo lero bi, se o mo, a ba gbogbo maa jẹ — a maa n se wa ti o dara ju, ati ki o Mo lero bi awọn egeb ti wa ni maa jẹ awọn bori fun yi ija.

K Swanson

Dara, nla. You guys, Mo ro pe o wà rẹ kẹhin ibeere, 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. Ati, Jermell, a yoo ri o ni Las fegasi nigbamii ose yi.

J. Charlo

No problem. See you, buruku.

Awọn. Martirosyan – E dupe. Take care.

Kelly Swanson

A n lọ lati yi awọn ipe lori si Gary Russell, Jr.

K. Swanson

Gary Russell, Jr. yoo wa ni ti nkọju si Jhonny Gonzalez fun Gonzalez ká 126 iwon akole, the WBC Featherweight World Championship. Gary, ti o ba ti o ba fẹ lati so fun wa kekere kan bit nipa bi ikẹkọ wa ni ti lọ, ifojusona rẹ lati wa ni ija Jhonny Gonzalez fun aye yi akọle ati ohun ti o ro nipa gbogbo ija ni apapọ?

Gary Russell Jr.

A ní nla kan ikẹkọ ibudó. Ohun gbogbo ti wa ni pipe, ko si excuses, 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

Ti wa ni o ṣe n ṣe ohunkohun ninu ibudó ni igbaradi fun yi ti o yatọ si lati miiran rẹ njà?

G. Russell Jr.

Ṣe Ko, we’re not doing anything that’s different in preparation for any of the fights. I think the only difference is, ti o da lori awọn ija, you want to prepare depending on the opponent that you’re competing against. Nítorí, Mo ro pe ni nikan ni iyato ni iyato ninu sparring. Ti o ba fẹ lati mu ninu awon enia buruku ti o ni a iru ara si ti o ti o jẹ ti o ba maa wa ni located lodi si ati be be lo. That’s the only change that we’ve made so far. Yato si ti — ipilẹ awọn ibere, iwọn generalship, ọwọ iyara, punching agbara, agbara ati karabosipo, gbogbo awọn ti awọn ti nkan na ni kanna.

Q

Gati, won o ya lati gba miiran shot ni awọn akọle?

G. Russell, Jr.

Ṣe Ko, Mo wa ko yà. Mo ni kanna Al Haymon ni igbega, o kan Al Haymon ni apapọ nigba ti o ba de si ti. O si ni mi faili, ati awọn ti a mọ pé o ṣe ohun gbogbo ninu rẹ ni agbara lati gbiyanju lati ṣe ohun ṣẹlẹ fún wa, and give us another shot at a world title. I’m extremely grateful and thankful for this opportunity.

Q

Nigbati o ba jà igbejako Lomachenko fun ọkan ninu awọn orúkọ oyè, ni o ya ohunkohun jade ti awọn ti ijatil? Boya o ni iriri, tabi jije lori wipe ipele ti ipele ti o mu ọna yi tókàn asiwaju anfani?

G. Russell Jr.

Dajudaju. One of the main things that we took out of it is, ti o ba ti n ko bu, 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. A ti sọ ri awọn abajade ti ti ati awọn ẹgbẹ ipa ti o. A ko gba adanu rorun, nipa jina. 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. A ní kanna egbe ọna pada ni išipopada. A ba ṣetan, a n lojutu, a n pinnu, a n ìṣó ati awọn ti a ba o kan nwa lati fun dara kan show.

Q

Ṣe o ri Gonzalez bi a Elo dara ju Onija Lomachenko, tabi boya kan bit ti a diẹ jẹ ipalara Onija ju Lomachenko tabi iru? Bawo ni o ṣe akopọ soke awọn meji akọle holders?

G. Russell Jr.

Nwọn ba meji gidigidi o yatọ awọn onija. 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. O gba ko si ọkan fun funni. A pato wi, oh, yi ni a lewu ija mu pẹlu Jhonny Gonzalez, sugbon a lero bi o tilẹ ohun ti a mu si tabili yoo jẹ superior ni opin.

Q

Ohun ti pataki ṣe o ṣe otooto lati mura fun Lomachenko ti o fẹ o ti ní kò?

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, a wà ni a ibi iwẹ olomi gbona fun awọn ti o ti kọja meji, maybe three days leading all the way up into the fight. That’s what my strength and conditioning coach wanted me to do.

Ẹnikẹni ti o n ri wipe ija, boya o je Lomachenko tabi ẹnikẹni miran, nwọn ti sọ ri awọn iyato ninu mi punching agbara, mi ìfaradà, mi iyara, o kan mi bi a eniyan. Awon eniyan mọ wipe ti o wà ko ni Gary Russell, Jr. ki nwọn ki o fẹ ri awọn ti tẹlẹ 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, se o mo?

Q

About Jhonny Gonzalez — o han ni ni a eniyan ti o ni a iwọn didun puncher, o ni ko bẹru lati duro ninu ati isowo. Báwo ni yi ija ise lati rẹ anfani ti o ba ti o ko ni ja a aṣoju Gonzalez ija ninu rẹ lokan?

G. Russell, Jr.

Emi ko ro wipe o ti n lilọ si ni anfani lati wo pẹlu, lekan si, mi iyara. 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 — ẹsẹ quickness. Ati ki o kan pupo ti rẹ Asokagba wa ni kekere kan jakejado. Nítorí, Mo ti yoo jẹ nipa lati outpunch rẹ ki o si ni anfani lati Punch u laarin rẹ Asokagba.

Q

Kí ni o ro ti awọn ipinnu ninu Lomachenko ija?

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, ati ki o Mo too ti ri idi idi ti mo ti padanu — o si wà nítorí pé mo wà ko ni anfani lati ṣe ohun ti o je wipe mo ti ṣe deede.

Q

Nítorí, ti o ba lero wipe o ti padanu ni ija ki o si?

G. Russell Jr.

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

Q

O bà lori Al Haymon sẹyìn. O le se alaye ohun ti rẹ ikolu ti jẹ ninu rẹ ọmọ? And we’ve all seen the moves that he’s been making. How is that gonna help you moving forward?

G. Russell, Jr.

Mo lero bi o tilẹ iná jẹ labẹ awọn wọnyi alakoso ati awọn awọn olupolowo. Nibẹ ni a egbe akitiyan. O yoo ni anfani lati sọ rẹ faili rẹ tabi rẹ olugbeleke, 'Hey, yi ni mi game ètò, 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, boya mefa njà odun yi, ati be be lo. Faili rẹ ati olugbeleke, ni ibi ti nwọn wá ni ni, they should be able to meet you halfway with their game plan. If you want to have six fights within a year, bbl, 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. O ni nipa ti o ti o mọ, Mo ro.

Q

Nlọ sinu yi ija, ni o lero bi o ba ni lati fi fun awọn kan didara ti ija si gan ṣe egeb relate si o ki o si ṣe ọ a ìdílé orukọ? Now that there’s so many platforms for boxing, ni o lero bi nibẹ n fi kun titẹ lati fi lori ohun moriwu ija, tabi ni o lero bi o le ṣi o kan, methodically apoti ki o si jèrè onijakidijagan lati pe?

G. Russell Jr.

Mo ti nitootọ ma ko lero bi o tilẹ ti a ni lati se ohunkohun jade ninu awọn arinrin. Ti o ba ti lọ si ri awọn aṣoju Gary Russell, Jr. ti o ti sọ ri ti tẹlẹ 24 njà — ọwọ iyara, punching agbara, iwọn generalship ati be be lo. ,A Pupo ti awọn onija to mu soke ni aruwo, nwọn si lero bi o tilẹ ti won ni lati ṣe ohun kekere kan diẹ ẹ sii lati win awọn onijakidijagan lori, ati be be lo. 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.
