Tänan, kõik, for joining us today for this great call to officially announce a very exciting match up. And without further ado, rääkida natuke, et mängu üles, Ma lähen tutvustada Chris DeBlasio, Vice President of Sports kommunikatsiooniministrile Showtime.

Chris DeBlasio

Tänan, Kelly. I’m going to keep this brief. I know we want to talk to the fighters on this card. But I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t represent for Stephen Espinoza, who couldn’t be on the call today, kuidas väga põnevil oleme ette debüüt Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. meie võrku Laupäev, Aprill 18, meie Showtime MEISTRIVÕISTLUSED BOXING doubleheader. See saab olema suur öö. On the call with us and in the ring across from Julio Chavez Jr. Sellel ööl on Andrzej Fonfara, a man that we know that really comes to fight. He brought it on his first fight on SHOWTIME last year when he fought Adonis Stevenson. And that was a thrilling affair. And we’re looking forward to a real test and a great challenge for Chavez Jr. And we’re excited to have him on behalf of all of us at SHOWTIME. We welcome both of you guys and, muidugi, thanks to all the press for being on the call. Aitäh, Kelly.

K. Swanson

Aitäh, kõik. Korras. We’re going to go ahead and introduce the fighters and their trainers for you. First we have Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Endise race maailmameister, Andrzej Fonfara, endine maailma pealkiri challenger, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. — Me kõik teame, kes ta on, ja kindlasti austusest suur legend, et ta on, Me tervitame teda kõne — Joe Goossen, kes on Julio treener, ja Sam Colonna, kes on Fonfara tema treener.

Nii, Sel ajal, mida ma tahan teha, on paluda Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. teha avasõnad selle võitluse ja natuke sellest, mida ta teeb praegu treeninglaagris ja kuidas ta suhtub võitlus.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

I’m training very well. I’m training (kõrgemal) level than the best. I’m doing more physical training (ja ma saan lähemale) kaal 172 naela. And I think I’m in great shape, sa tead? I have a lot of time and don’t stay in this kind of shape.

K. Swanson

Korras. Now let’s hear from Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej, kas te võiksite rääkida natuke ja ütle meile, kuidas te tunnete võitlevad Jr.?

Andrzej Fonfara

I’m feeling great. I think Chavez Jr. on suur võitleja, maailmameister. And you know, it’s good fight for me. I trained hard for the fight. We got very good camp. Nüüd, we start a sparring session. Tead, minu kaal on hea. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, liiga. Then I’m back to Chicago. We finished camp here. Ja mina olen–sa tead, Ma olen valmis vastama Chavez ringis Aprill 18ja näidata talle, et ma olen parem poksija.

K. Swanson

Korras. Excellent. Suur tänu. Next we’ll have the trainers say something very brief before we turn it over to the media for call. Nii, Joe Goossen, he is Julio Cesar Chavez’s trainer at this point. Joe, sa tahaksid teha paar kommentaari?

Joe Goossen

Aitäh. Number üks, 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, sa tead, Julio on väga, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. Ja nüüd, me oleme üles Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Võin vaid öelda seda — on väga pühendunud selles võitluses, vaimselt, füüsiliselt, 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 protsent. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, number üks, tuleb töötamise Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. Ja muidugi, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til Aprill 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. Nii, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. Seda on öelnud, aitäh.

K. Swanson

Aitäh. Nüüd, Sam Colonna, kui te saaksite anda meile kommentaar, ja siis me avada selle küsimustele.

Sam Colonna

Hästi, esimene, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Kuid, sa tead, enne kui nad hakkasid Julio Cesar Chavez võidelda, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, "Aga Julio Cesar Chavez,’ Ma ütlesin, ‘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. Nii, see saab olema suur võitlus. 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 Aprill 18.

K. Swanson

Korras. Aitäh. Ja nüüd, last but not least, Sooviksin saada paar märkust Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Juuli?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Ma tean, et, mu poeg, 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. Juuli, kuidas sa end tunned maha tulemata aasta koondamisteate?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ma tunnen hea. Ma tean, et see on raske, kui oled väljas. See on raske taastada oma ajastus. Aga ma olen koolitus, working at my skills. And I think, sa tead, Ma olen väga kindel, sest olen veetnud kogu oma elu poks. Ma olen 13 aastat minu karjääri. Nii et ma ei arva, et see on probleem, sest see võitlus on 172 naela. 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

Rääkides, et maailma pealkiri, kuidas sa suhtud sinusuguseid Adonis Stevenson ja Sergei Kovaljov?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Oi, these guys very strong. But I think, Pärast seda võitlust, Ma lähen alla 168 ja jääme sellesse kaaluklassi. Üks või kaks aastat tagasi kolisin 175 kuid see oli liiga palju minu keha. Nüüd, Ma olen 168. Kuid, ühe aasta võrra maha, Selles võitluses on 172.

Q

Andrzej, Kuidas sa end tunned füüsiliselt maha tulemata Adonis Stevenson lahing?

A. Fonfara

Ma arvan, et ma näitasin againstStevenson et olin fighter. Füüsiliselt, Ma tunnen hea nüüd. Kuna selles võitluses, I’ve been training much harder. Ma arvan,, sest selles võitluses, Ma olen parem poksija, sest, sa tead, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Olen treeninud selles võitluses, nagu, sa tead, 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, Ma olen alati koolitus hard.

Q

See on nii Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., ilmselt, seal on kasu ja võib-olla puudus, liiga, 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, mis mõned ütleksid oli peaaegu võimatu, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, mida sellest, koormuse ja kasu võttes selline tuntud nimi?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Kuid, sa tead, Ma arvan, et see on eelis. Aga see ei aita mind ring. Ma tõestatud ring. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, number kaks, number kolm ja number nelja juures 168 naela. Ja ma olen näitas kõigile, inimesed, et ma ei võidelda, liiga. Olen hea võitleja ja (Panin hea võitleb). Ja inimesed nagu näha minu võitleb. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, liiga, stiilis Fonfara on tulnud võidelda, 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. Ilmselt, see on aidanud saada tähelepanu, but we are very different. Ta — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. Ja nii, there’s a lot of difference. Füüsiliselt, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Nii, seal on head ja halvad, and we understand that. Kuid, ta on oma fighter nagu ma olin.

Q

Olen, 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. Veerg

Sa tead, mida? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Kuid, oli vähemalt kolm, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Käin, "See on mees, me tahame,’ sest, nagu ma ütlesin, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, sa tead? He’s going to be right there for us. Nii, stiil on tõesti, tegelikult segatud hea.

Q

Andrzej, olete võitles võiduajamine, super race, valguse raskekaalu. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, või sa tunned sa oled tõeline valgus raskekaalu?

A. Fonfara

Olen kerge raskekaalu poksija. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Ma tavaliselt võidelda juures 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, nagu, kaks, 3 £ alla, sest, sa tead, kui ma võitlesin Stevenson eelmise aasta mai, Olin 173 siis. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, sa tead? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

Q

Juuli Jr., kui palju vähendamine on see, et sa lõpuks võidelda aasta pärast? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Nii, kuidas on tunne, et sa teaksid sa lõpuks on võitlus kuni edasi?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ma tunnen hea. Ma tunnen suurt, sa tead, 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 Aprill 18 jaoks Fonfara. Ma tunnen hea, Ma tunnen suurt. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Aga ma olen väga põnevil, et naasevad) ring.

Q

Joe Goossen, milliseid oskusi Julio Cesar tõlgitava parim valguses raskekaalu divisjoni?

J. Goossen

Hästi, Kohe alguses, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Ma mõtlen, 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. Ja muidugi, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — põhiliselt, 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, Ma arvan, et me ei kavatse olla võimalik lüüa 172 mark quite easily. Kuid, uuesti, 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, kui meil oli vaja kasti, 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, me ei kavatse olla edukas see.

Q

Kas te teete kaal?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Jah. Muidugi. I’ll make 172 sest ma maksan $100,000 Ühe kilo (kui ma seda ei tee). Ma ei suuda maksta sellist raha. Ma pole kunagi kaaluda üle 172 kakluses. Ainult võitlus tegin 172 on Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, kõik mu meistrivõistlustel vagusid (Ma ei ole kunagi ei teinud kaal). Ma ei tea, miks te küsite minult, et. Korras. Maybe, Ma olen suurem võitleja, sa tead? I know I am a bigger fighter. Kuid, Mul ei ole probleeme. Ja (kui ta teeb) ei tee kaal, äkki võidan $100,000 rohkem.

Q

Nii, Juuli, sa oled lootes $100,000 alates Andrzej Fonfara, aga sa räägid, et ta ei tohiks loota $100,000 sinult?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Ära, ei. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, sa tead, sest (Ma tulen kergem). Tead, Kaalu päris hea ma arvan nii hävitajaid.

Q

Kas te räägite oma otsuse on Joe Goossen oma nurgas, tunned, tulemusena Vera võitlus, et sa võlgned fännid tulemuslikkuse?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr.

Hästi, 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, kokku, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Võin teile öelda, et, this show is for the people. See saab olema suur võitlus. It’s going to be a better fight. Ja nüüd, minu uus edendamise ettevõte ja teades, kes mu vastane saab olema eelnevalt, Ma arvan, et see saab olema hea õhtu.
