Co-אירוע מרכזי & Antonio Russell and Antuanne Russell Compete In Separate Bouts
ST. פטרסבורג, FL. – (אוקטובר 24, 2017) – Former 147-pound world champion דבון אלכסנדר will battle rugged contender וולטר קסטילו in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions ימי שלישי בוהן אל TOE על FS1 ו אלופות אגרוף על Deportes FOX יום שלישי, נובמבר. 21 from The Coliseum in St. פטרסבורג, Florida with televised coverage beginning at 8:00 p.m. ו/5:00 p.m. PT.
The 10-round bout will headline a show promoted by Warriors Boxing and Fire Fist Boxing Promotions and features a 10-round co-main event between unbeaten welterweight prospect מיגל קרוז against once-beaten דוד Grayton. Two of the fighting Russell brothers, Antonio and Antuanne, brothers of featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., will enter the ring in separate six-round matches.

“This show is packed with talent and should deliver a great night of boxing for fans in Florida and watching on FS1 and FOX Deportes,” אמר ליאון Margules, נשיא Warriors האיגרוף. “Devon Alexander is a former two-division champion on the comeback trail and he’ll be tested by Walter Castillo, who is always in exciting fights. Miguel Cruz and David Grayton are both hungry prospects looking to raise their status and Antuanne and Antonio Russell are hoping to follow their brother Gary on the path to a world title. I want to thank my partner Fire Fist Boxing Promotions, for their hard work to make this event happen in Florida.”
The 30-year-old Alexander (26-4, 14 קוס) will end a two-year layoff due to health issues when he steps in against Castillo. אלכסנדר, סנט. לואיס, מיזורי, won the 147-pound world championship with a unanimous decision victory over Randall Bailey in 2012. He lost the title via unanimous decision against Shawn Porter the next year. אלכסנדר, אִטֵר, was a unified champion at 140-pounds and owns victories over Marcos Maidana, Lucas Matthysse and Jesus Soto Karass.
“Two years is a long time to be away from something you love but I wanted to make sure when I come back that I would be 100 percent my old self,” Alexander said. “My last outings were not me, and a lot of my fans and people that know me are aware of that. I’ve been in constant training since then while getting my personal situation in order. Castillo is a good solid fight that is going to bring the best skills out of me. He’s not a slouch and he’s coming to fight. But it’s not about what Castillo coming to do. It’s about me making a statement to show people that I am still up there with the elite fighters, and I know that when I’m right, nobody can beat me.”
After campaigning the last few years at 140 קילו, טירה (26-4-1, 19 קוס) is stepping up to 147 pounds to take on the former champion Alexander. The 29-year-old Castillo, של מנגואה, ניקרגואה, will be ending a 16-month layoff onנובמבר 21. Castillo lost by TKO to Sergey Lipinets in a 140-pound clash his last time out after previously fighting to a draw against Keita Obara in a title eliminator.
“I think this could be one of my last great opportunities and I’m very excited for it,” סעיד קסטילו. “Devon Alexander is a great boxer and I will have to be at my very best. Even though I’ve been out of the ring, my condition will not be a problem. אני 100 percent ready to give Alexander trouble. I am working very hard on a game plan to stop Alexander shock everyone.”
The unbeaten Cruz (16-0, 11 קוס) has been very busy in 2017 as he steps into the ring for his fourth fight this year. The 27-year-old welterweight from St. מרי, Florida scored a unanimous decision victory over Alex Martin in a rematch in his last fight on יוני 27 after earning a split-decision in their first fight and beating Ali Mammadov in between.
The 30-year-old Grayton (15-1-1, 11 קוס) is coming off a technical draw against former champion Kermit Cintron in his last fight on מרץ 17. Grayton, של וושינגטון הבירה, suffered the only loss of his career when he was stopped by technical knockout by Bryant Perrella on June 4, 2016 before returning to defeat Kareem Martin in August last year leading up to the Cintron fight.

Mashantucket, קונטיקט. (אפריל. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion גארי ראסל ג'וניור. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman פטריק Hyland יום שבתon SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, קונטיקט. בשיתוף התכונה, ז'וזה Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

הלילה של event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during הערב של undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. מהפעמון הראשון, וושינגטון, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. ראסל, אִטֵר, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., שמשפר את השיא ל 27 נצחונות, one loss, 15 knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, לי סלבי. We are ready. But what I really want is [אסיל] ומצ'נקו. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 קילו. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident הלילה and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 קוס) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus הלילה. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won הלילה with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"אמר הפרהוד. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, נחיתה 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

(26-1, 15 קוס), של Capitol Heights, מרילנד., and Irish contender פטריק Hyland (31-1, 15 קוס), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference יום רביעי at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach בשבת זו Featherweight World Title fight live on ההצגה מתחילה® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.

Here’s what the fighters had to say at יום רביעי final press conference.
גארי ראסל ג'וניור.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“קודם כל, I gotta tip my hat off to him. I heard him say he was being trained by his father. Me and my younger brothers are also trained by my dad. My father is my favorite superhero, so it is very hard to deal with a situation like this and to bounce back and to grind and put all the hard work and effort into it after all the heartache and loss, I gotta tip my hat off to him for that.
I know that anytime you have a fighter that trains for six to eight weeks and prepares for no one else but you, is a dangerous fight. הוא גבוה, הוא ארוך, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.”
(On returning from injury…)
“אני מרגיש טוב. אני מוכן; I put the work in at the gym. כמו שאמרתי קודם לכן, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. אבל, עכשיו, we’re ready and we’re prepared to invest in my ability.”
(On what it means to have his brother Antonio on the card he’s headlining…)
“It means a lot. אני מצפה לזה. I’m actually more looking forward to watching my brother compete than my own fight. I will definitely be working his corner in that fight. It means a lot for us to be able to pass this information down from generation to generation and watch it grow and watch us build as a family and as a unit. It’s amazing.’
“He definitely has the potential to be the best. Him as well as Antuanne, who is now on the 2016 הקבוצה האולימפית. It’s all information passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though they definitely have the ability to be better than me. I would want them to be anyway.”
(On what he needs to win the fight…)
“I need to maintain control of the fight, close the distance and maintain the jab. Complete dominance; I want to touch the body early. He likes to move a lot, so we’re going to cut all that down.”
(On potential future opponents…)
“God willing, everything goes right come אפריל 16, we would love to unify with Lee Selby. If I had my choice, I would go with Lee Selby first to unify. Immediately after that, I want Leo Santa Cruz and after that I need Lomachenko.
“I don’t care where [ומצ'נקו] moves. He can lose his next 10 קרבות, but before my career’s done he has to see me.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(On what gives him the sense of satisfaction in boxing…)
“To fight for the WBC title is everything I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid and all of the hard work that I have put in to get to this position to fight for it. I am happy and I am just living for it now for יום שבת הלילה.”
(On being the first Irish boxer since Barry McGuigan to hold a featherweight world title…)
“It’s a whirlwind and it’s great. I’m just a local lad from Johnstown in Dublin and to be fighting on the big stage and to be fighting for a major world title, and again to be named the second featherweight ever to win a world title would be just amazing; a real dream come true for myself.”
(On Gary Russell…)
“I know he’s got fast hands. He’s a great southpaw and a great boxer so I have to be at the best of my ability ביום שבת night for that. I worked on a game plan in the gym to counter his hand speed and it all has to come together on fight night. I can do all this and say all that, but I just have to perform ביום שבת night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.”
ז'וזה Pedraza
(במחנה אימונים…)
“I am feeling really good, we’re in the last stretch of conditioning. It was a very long and intense training camp but we saw improvements in my abilities. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are going to demonstrate to Smith that I am a weapon.
(On Stephen Smith…)
“Smith is a very good boxer, he has a lot of abilities and intelligence. He’s a boxer with very good defense, but we already utilize a variety of strategies to be able to neutralize all of his abilities.”
(On what he plans to demonstrate ביום שבת…)
“With my abilities, כמו יום שבת, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. בסך הכל, I just want to put on a show and I hope that the fan base will enjoy this great card.”
(On what he learned from fighting Edner Cherry…)
“I learned what I have always said and what I have always done to this very day, which is never watching. I never watch too many videos of my opponent because on the day of the fight he could be a completely different fighter and I think that is what occurred then. Aside from that, he utilized a great strategy.”
(On his thoughts on other Puerto Rican boxers…)
“Actually I am a world champion just like Rocky Martinez; there are many Puerto Rican prospects. Like [פליקס] Verdejo but I don’t consider him as a world title contender just yet. He hasn’t fought with a boxer of championship caliber but he is currently among the top fighters in Puerto Rico.”
(On other fights he may be interested in at 130 קילו…)
“I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, טוב יותר. If it is the last option, I will fight with Puerto Ricans too but aside from that Rocky [מרטינז] the world champ, there’s Francisco Vargas, [חבייר] מזל, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“אני מתרגש. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.”
(On what he knows about Pedraza…)
“ובכן, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. I believe I have what it takes to fight anyone and nothing will keep me from becoming a world champion.”
(On what he needs to do to get the victory…)
“It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. He’s obviously talented so it’s going to take a different set from each way but we know what to expect. I’ve gone over everything with my trainer Joe Gallagher and we’re ready to go.”
(On his brothers Liam and Callum being champions and what it could mean to potentially join them…)
“It’s special. Two weeks ago Liam and Callum won a European world title and it just gives me the confidence, the spirit to hike. I’m in a really good place mentally and I couldn’t be feeling better going into it. After my boot camp going successfully, it just makes you feel better going ahead to become a world champion.”
(On UK champions on the rise in the past year…)
“There’s a lot of history there and for myself and my family, so we do what we’ve always wanted to do and we’re looking to just keep moving forward.”
TRAINER JOE GALLAGHER
(במחנה אימונים…)
“It was good. Obviously it boiled up to Callum’s win. There’s a good momentum. Callum and then Stephen has his world title opportunity. It’s been a slow burning rise with Stephen but he’s got, as I call it ‘his World Cup final’ — something that is going to take heart and strength. His strength is going very well. Pedraza is a very good fighter, good orthodox, good southpaw, he can mix it up and we’re prepared for whatever style he wants to bring ביום שבת.”
(On the process of preparing for a fighter like Pedraza…)
“It’s a nightmare. It’s hard enough when you’re fighting a quality orthodox or a quality southpaw, of which he is, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.”
(On how he feels the fight will play out…)
“I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [אנדריי] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [אנדריי] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, switched southpaw, so either way it’s going to be fascinating. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t get caught to early when he’s quick and he’s sharp and he’s trying to put manners in Stephen Smith and then take him into the deep waters like Edner Cherry.”
(His prediction…)
“Stephen Smith. Possibly by knockout. לא, definitely by knockout.”
