"Der" stands for "derecha", and "izq" stands for "izquierda".

"Izo" is a typo for "izq".

"Gancho" refers to all kinds of hooks, not just a boxing hook. For example, a butcher's hook is also a gancho.

Spanish English
Comienzo de nueva carrera Beginning of new career

Note that "salida" is the noun "exit", not the verb, which would be "salir".

Messages from Chávez

Spanish
No vayas a renunciar tu trabajo, no estás hecho para este juego.
English
Don't give up your job; you're not made for this game.
Spanish
Mmm... pues pareces prometedor pero te falta algo de experiencia.
English
Hmmm... well, you seem promising, but you're somewhat lacking in experience.
Spanish
Sí... me gusta tu estilo. Bien, pero aún no estás listo para el horario estelar.
English
Yes... I like your style. Well done, but you're still not ready for the stellar hour.
Spanish
Si alguna vez peleamos, será un gran evento.
English
If we fight sometime, it will be a grand event.
Spanish
Creo que tú ya estás muy viejo para esto, deberías de colgar los guantes.
English
I think you're too old for this now. You should hang up your gloves.

The "de" here is technically a grammatical mistake (albeit a very common one). One should only use "de" after "deber" when making a supposition, not when expressing obligation.

Spanish
He dejado fuera de combate a muchos, ahora te toca a ti.
English
I've taken many people out of combat, now it's your turn.

Chávez says this when your boxer retires due to old age.

"Te toca a ti" is also used for board games and other time people are taking turns. For example, ¿A quién le toca?, "Whose turn is it?".

You defeated Chávez!

Spanish
Aquí está el hombre, que venció a la gran leyenda. El nuevo campeón mundial.
English
Here is the man who defeated the great legend. The new world champion.

Note that "leyenda" is feminine even though it refers to a man.
