“Vandag (Dinsdag) is my eerste dag terug sparring. Ek werk op my tydsberekening, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon is sterk en duursaam. Hy kom reguit vorentoe. As sy hoek was slim sou hulle probeer om my hand wegneem spoed wat 'n groot faktor wees in die stryd. Hy sal nodig hê om die afstand te sluit, versmoor my stoot so spoed is nie 'n faktor.
“Ons is besig om op besig om net so gemaklik veg aan die buitekant as ek veg aan die binnekant.
“Baie van vegters is een-dimensionele. Ons probeer om daardie diamant skyn aan alle kante te maak.

“Ek is opgewonde om te veg, tydperk. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Dit neem 'n sekere tipe geestelike taaiheid en sielkundige krag in die ring te kry en uit te voer. Enigiemand wat in die ring teen my kry is 'n kampioen in my oë.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“As ek verby Escandon sou ek graag om te veg Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selfs al het hy verloor, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Met my gesin saam met my in die oefenkamp beteken alles vir my. Dit is waar ek my energie uit. Baie van die ouens voel hulle het om weg te kom vir oefenkamp, maar ek het nie die huis te verlaat. My familie is die dryfkrag agter my oefenkamp en waar ek my krag en motivering. Aan die einde van die dag, Ek boks vir my familie.
“As my broer eindig veg op my undercard dit baie cool vir my sou wees. Dit sal snaaks wees, want as hy nie meeding, jy sal beslis sien my werk sy hoek voor my titel stryd.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ek weet dit is 'n kampioenskap stryd, maar ons gaan in elke stryd soos dit is 'n titel stryd. Ons weet nie 'n ton van sy teenstander, ons het net lei soos kampioene.
“Ek het ses seuns, almal van hulle is vegters. Hulle het almal verskillende eienskappe as mense wat anders vertaal in wie hulle is as mense en in die ring.
“Antonio Russell is 4-0, Hy is regtig hard gewerk al van sy lewe. Buite die gimnasium, kan hy iets los. Antoine, wat net gekwalifiseer vir die Olimpiese proewe, is briljant. Ek is baie trots op hom, want hy het net gegradueer Valedictorian van sy klas met die hoogste GPA van iemand in Prince George's County. Dan moet jy Gary, wat so hard werk, Hy is die toekoms patriarg van die familie. Hy het 'n ou gees.
“Ek is trots op al my kinders en ek is trots daarop dat ons 'n sterk familie-eenheid. Ons het baie geleer uit verlies Gary se Vasyl Lomachenko. Ons het 'n leuse by die gimnasium wat hang aan 'n banier, dit sê 'Sukses is die uiteindelike wraak’ en ons het sedert die verlies geleef wat ooit. Ons het geleer 'n belangrike les uit die stryd en het op verhuis.
“Boks is 'n vlugtige ding, jy dit nie vir ewig nie. Ons doen ons eie ding. Ek is nie bekommerd oor wat ander mense gedoen het.
“Soos 'n vader, jou vaderlike instink skop in, want in hierdie sport, enigiets kan gebeur. Jy wil nie om te sien jou seun beland seer. So lei ons om enige omstandighede. As gevolg van dat instink, Ek het 'n streng en hard op my seuns om te probeer om hulle veilig te hou.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Veg op die Vrydag, Oktober. 30 nie-televisie Premier Boxing Champions op Bounce TV undercard en potensieel die November 14 undercard.):
“Met die manier waarop ons die trein en stryd, ons verdediging stel ons oortreding en ons oortreding stel ons verdediging.
“My werk is om in te gaan en wen gevegte. Ek weet my teenstander is 'n lang man, maar ek weet ook dat hy nie gaan wen. Hy het die pons krag of ring generaalskap dat ek nie.

CARSON, Kalifornië. (April 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Uitklophoue) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Uitklophoue) in resounding fashion Saterdag nag, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks woon op Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Pole, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexiko, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Oomblikke later, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judges’ scorecards by scored of 89-80 en 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10ste) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, maarvanaand was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. Dit was 'n baie taai stryd. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he had “stopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir Ek (17-0, 14 Uitklophoue), of Davie, Fla., by wyse van Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Die Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, Ek het, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Castle, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, gesê “Ek het gedink ek het die stryd. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; goed, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Vroeër Saterdag, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, onoorwonne Moises “Die Chucky” Blomme (23-0, 16 Uitklophoue), van Guadalajara, Mexiko, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Uitklophoue), van Tolima, Colombia.

 

Blomme, maak sy 2015 debuut en derde begin in 'n ry in die Verenigde State, geseëvier deur die tellings van 116-112 twee keer en 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Dit is 'n droom wat waar geword – more than a dream come true – for me,” het hy gesê. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, Ja, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” het hy gesê. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super welterweight Omar “El Sakeman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Uitklophoue), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, hard geveg, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Uitklophoue), of Arjona, Colombia.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 twee keer en 77-74. There were no knockdowns.
