Yes! Thank you from your bilingual viewers. I appreciate hearing his responses in Spanish, things can get lost in translation.

[gilbertoflores]

Wow, that translator was terrible. He is only doing the fight because of the respect he has for his father.

[manuctz]

Low energy translator... a lot was left out in each answer. Luke would have done a way better job translating . This interview could've been fireworks. Julio Cesar Chavez has the same sense of humor as BC.

[pimpninacadi]

So much was left out in the translation.
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 👊💪

[odogg]

The translator was horrible. She missed a ton of great little quibs that would've made this interview much better.

[cdandrade]

Translation is so bad that if I wasnt at work fucking off, I would make a transcript of the interview. Be back in a couple hours. The english to spanish translation is just as bad. JCC answers completely different questions than what the CEO asks.

[horatiojones]

Love the boxing content!! JJC is one of the goats for sure.

[JGAbstract]

In the first answer, he said he only took it because he loves his opponents' dad. FYI

[dannyrivas]

Translation is weak, Chavez gives much more credit and respect that this lady is saying

[JagUriel]

How did Luke not play translator?!? Come on Guys!

[bruhkgb]

Campeon 2 seconds in. Love me some BC.

[cripplermaximus]

This translator makes me way more confident in my Spanish.

[waalex]

Lazy translating, but most are flawed and poor unfortunately, even though this one in particular should be fairly easy to translate word for word.

[marcalexander]

I don’t even speak Spanish well and I can tell that translator only repeated like 10% of his answers. Hey lady, do the job right or get the steppin

[darbycrash]

The translator is horrible, only says about half of what JC says.
He said he only took this fight because of his love and respect for Camacho Sr..

[rowa.]

87-0 against who? Dude embarrassingly fought someone that was 0-1 in his 65th fight. Chavez' record is incredibly overrated. Canelo already surpassed Chavez in terms of resume and skill. Dude sounds mad jealous and salty because deep down he knows Canelo's gonna go down as the Mexican GOAT.

[fatboygrows]

Lmao everyone pissed at the translator, very necessary, we need BC to get a new translator and a real interview with Julio Ceasar Chavez Sr

[Half-Bizzy]

Hellen Keller would have been a better translator!

[MrGuardado]

Sr concerned about the weight but his son just missed weight and came in over lol

[fukthescrubsscrub]

Absolutely terrible translation of what he said. They do this all the time for all the fights they get a translator who doesn’t know wtf they are talking about.
