I understand that. I know he cares about me. ``I want to give myself one more chance, though.'' Goossen had worked with the brothers in his Van Nuys gym since they were children living in Arleta, teaching them much of what they know. He guided them to their two championships and a degree of international fame. To fight without him, both said, will be strange. ``It'll probably be weird,'' Gabriel Ruelas said, ``just like it's weird to be going to different gyms to work out.

Joe and I are close and I want it to stay that way.'' Said Rafael Ruelas, who was stopped by Kostya Tszyu in his last fight this past summer: ``Yeah, it'll be a little strange not having him in the corner. But once the fight starts I'm focused on fighting. That's how I've always been.'' The brothers want to fight sometime this summer and expect to be promoted by Dan Goossen, Joe's brother and their long-time manager. |
