WASHINGTON, D.C. –(Octubre. 28, 2015) -Beltway-àrea nativa Gary Russell Jr.. (26-1, 15 KOs) va celebrar un entrenament dels mitjans de comunicació a El Club de Boxa d'Enigma a El Capital Heights, Maryland el dimarts mentre es prepara per a la seva baralla de campionat el Novembre 14 per SHOWTIME.
Russell Jr. farà la primera defensa del seu campionat del món de pes ploma del CMB contra Colòmbia de Oscar Escandón (24-2, 16 KOs) en l'esdeveniment principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING a Dissabte, Novembre. 14, en viu per SHOWTIME (10:45 p.m. I/PT) l'Hard Rock Hotel & Casino a Las Vegas.
Això és el que Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Pare i entrenador de Gary) i Gary Antonio Russell(El germà menor de Gary i el prospecte de la boxa invicte) havia de dir el dimarts:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“El camp d'entrenament va molt bé, estem just en el camí. Hi havia un petit singlot al camp, perquè se suposava que havia de lluitar a l'octubre. 24. Vaig començar combat, but once the fight got pushed back to Novembre 14 I cut the sparring off. Jo no volia al seu punt màxim massa aviat.
“Avui (Dimarts) va ser el meu primer dia de tornada entrenant de nou. Estic treballant en el meu calendari, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandón és forta i duradora. Ell ve cap endavant recta. Si el seu cantó era intel·ligent que els tracten de llevar-me la velocitat de la mà, que serà un gran factor en la lluita. Haurà de tancar la distància, sufocar els meus cops el que la velocitat no és un factor.
“Estem treballant en convertir-se en combats tan còmode a l'exterior com estic lluitant a l'interior.
“Una gran quantitat de combatents són unidimensionals. Estem tractant de fer que aquesta brillantor de diamants en tots els costats.
“Sé que vaig a sortir victoriós, sens dubte,. Qualsevol persona que s'obté en el ring amb aquests petits, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Només es necessita un tret. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Estic emocionat de barallar, període. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Es necessita un cert tipus de fortalesa mental i la força psicològica per entrar al ring i realitzar. Qualsevol persona que es fica al ring contra mi és un campió en els meus ulls.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Si aconsegueixo passat Escandón M'encantaria barallar Leo Santa Creu, 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, tot i que va perdre, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Tenir a la meva família amb mi durant el camp d'entrenament és tot per a mi. És el lloc on puc obtenir el meu energia a partir de. Un munt de nois senten que tenen una escapada per el campament d'entrenament, però jo no he de sortir de casa. La meva família és la força impulsora darrere del meu camp d'entrenament i on trobo el meu poder i la motivació. Al final de la dia, Barallo per la meva família.
“Si el meu germà acaba lluitant a la meva targeta no seria molt cool per a mi. Serà curiós, perquè si no competir, que sens dubte veure treballar el seu cantó abans de la meva lluita pel títol.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Sé que és una baralla de campionat, però entrem en cada baralla com si fos una baralla de títol. No sabem un munt sobre la seva oponent, només entrenem com a campions.
“Tinc sis fills, tots ells són combatents. Tots ells tenen diferents atributs com la gent que es tradueixen de manera diferent al que són com a persones i en l'anell.
“Antonio Russell és 4-0, que ha treballat molt dur tota la seva vida. Fora del gimnàs, ell pot arreglar qualsevol cosa. Antoine, que només classificat per a les proves olímpiques, és brillant. Estic molt orgullosa d'ell perquè ell acaba de graduar millor estudiant de la seva classe amb la mitjana més alta de qualsevol persona al comtat de Prince George. Llavors vostè té Gary, a qui correspon el treball dur, ell és el futur patriarca de la família. Té un esperit d'edat.
“Estic orgullós de tots els meus fills i estic orgullós que som una unitat familiar forta. Hem après molt de la pèrdua de Gary a Vasyl Lomachenko. Tenim un lema al gimnàs que penja d'una bandera, diu "L'èxit és la Ultimate Revenge’ i hem viscut per que des que la pèrdua. Hem après una lliçó important d'aquesta baralla i hem seguit endavant.
“La boxa és una cosa passatgera, vostè no ho fa per sempre. Estem fent la nostra pròpia cosa. No estic preocupat pel que altres persones han fet.
“Com a pare, el seu instint paternal entra en acció perquè en aquest esport, qualsevol cosa pot passar. No vol veure a acabar la seva fill danyat. Així que ens entrenem per a qualsevol circumstància. A causa de que l'instint, He estat estricte i dur en els meus fills per tal de tractar de mantenir fora de perill.”
GARY RUSSELL ANTONIO (La lluita contra el Divendres, Octubre. 30 no televisada Premier Campions de boxa a la cartellera del comiat de TV i potencialment el Novembre 14 cartellera.):
“Amb la forma en què entrenem i lluita, la nostra defensa estableix la nostra ofensiva i la nostra ofensiva estableix la nostra defensa.
“La meva feina consisteix en anar-hi i guanyar baralles. Sé que el meu oponent és una mena alt, però també sé que no guanyarà. Ell no té el poder de cop o generalat anell que tinc.
“Una vegada que guanyo, Estic a la següent. Estic entrenat per lluitar constantment. Espero tenir aquest tipus abans d'hora, si ve i es presenta. Llavors m'encantaria barallar en la targeta del meu germà gran, dues setmanes després.”

“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 (10º) 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, peròaquesta nit was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Juli Cèsar 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.

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 I (17-0, 14 KOs), of Davie, Fla., per mitjà d'Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “El Martell” Castell.

“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”.

 

Castell, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, dit “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; bé, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Creu. 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,” ell va dir. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control.
