Seo an méid Russell Jr, Gary Russell Sr. (Athair agus traenálaí Gary) agus Gary Antonio Russell(Deartháir níos óige Gary agus ionchas dornálaíochta undefeated) Bhí a rá ar an Máirt:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Tá campa traenála ag dul go hiontach, tá muid ceart ar ndóigh. Bhí snag saorga sa champa de bharr go raibh mé ceaptha chun troid ar Deireadh Fómhair. 24. Thosaigh mé sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to Samhain 14 I cut the sparring off. Ní raibh mé ag iarraidh a bhuaic ró-luath.
“Sa lá atá inniu (Dé Máirt) Bhí mo chéad lá ar ais arís sparring. Tá mé ag obair ar mo uainiú, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar ESCANDON láidir agus durable. Tagann sé díreach ar aghaidh. Má bhí a choirnéal cliste mbeadh siad iarracht a chur amach mo luas lámh a bheidh ina fhachtóir mór sa troid. Beidh ort sé a dhúnadh ar an t-achar, smother mo punches sin nach bhfuil luas ina fhachtóir.
“Táimid ag obair ar a bheith ag troid díreach chomh compordach ar an taobh amuigh mar tá mé ag troid ar an taobh istigh.
“A lán de trodaithe aon-tríthoiseach. Táimid ag iarraidh a dhéanamh go Shine Diamond ar gach taobh.
“Tá a fhios agam go mbeidh mé victorious gan amhras. Duine ar bith go bhfaigheann tú an fáinne leis na beag, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Ní thógann sé ach amháin lámhaigh. It’s the fightersjob to take away that opportunity.
“Tá mé ar bís chun troid, tréimhse. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Bíonn sé le cineál áirithe de toughness mheabhrach agus neart síceolaíoch a fháil ar an fáinne agus comhlíonfaidh. Tá aon duine a fhaigheann an fáinne i gcoinne dom ina laoch i mo shúile.
It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Má fhaigheann mé anuas ESCANDON Ba bhreá liom dul i ngleic 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, cé chaill sé, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Tar éis mo theaghlach liom le linn campa traenála Ciallaíonn gach rud a dom. Tá sé nuair a gheobhaidh mé mo fuinnimh ó. A lán de guys bhraitheann cosúil go bhfuil siad a fháil amach ar feadh campa traenála, ach ní dóigh liom go bhfuil baile a fhágáil. Is é mo theaghlach an fórsa tiomána taobh thiar de mo champa traenála agus i gcás a bhfaighidh mé mo chumhacht agus spreagadh. Ag deireadh an lae, Bosca mé do mo theaghlach.
“Má chríochnaíonn mo dheartháir suas ag troid ar mo undercard mbeadh sé an-cool do dom. Beidh sé greannmhar mar má dhéanann sé dul san iomaíocht, feicfidh tú cinnte dom obair a cúinne roimh mo troid teideal.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Tá a fhios agam tá sé ina troid craobhchomórtais, ach a théann muid isteach i ngach gcomhrac mar tá sé ina troid teideal. Níl a fhios againn go a ton mar gheall ar a chéile comhraic, táimid ag traein díreach cosúil Seaimpíní.
“Tá mé seisear mac, iad ar fad ar trodaithe. Tá siad go léir tréithe éagsúla mar dhaoine a aistriú go difriúil i cé go bhfuil siad mar dhaoine agus an fáinne.
“Is Antonio Russell 4-0, tá sé ag obair go crua ar fad dá shaol. Lasmuigh de na seomra aclaíochta, is féidir leis a rud ar bith a shocrú. Antoine, a cháiligh ach le haghaidh na trialacha Oilimpeacha, Is iontach. Tá mé an-bhródúil as dó mar gheall bhain sé ach valedictorian a rang leis an GPA is airde de dhuine ar bith sa chontae Prince Sheoirse. Ansin tá tú Gary, atá chomh obair go dian, tá sé an patriarch todhchaí an teaghlach. Tá sé an spiorad sean.
“Tá mé bródúil as gach ceann de mo chuid páistí agus tá mé bródúil go bhfuil muid aonad teaghlaigh láidir. D'fhoghlaim muid a lán ó chailliúint Gary chun Vasyl Lomachenko. Ní mór dúinn a mana ag an seomra aclaíochta a hangs as banner, deir sé 'Is é Rath an Revenge deiridh’ agus tá muid ina gcónaí ag shin i leith an chaillteanais. D'fhoghlaim muid ceacht tábhachtach ón troid agus tar éis bogadh ar.

CARSON, Calif. (Aibreán 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Kos) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Kos) in resounding fashion Dé Sathairn oíche, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime CHAMPIONSHIP Dornálaíocht beo ar Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, An Pholainn, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, 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. Chuimhneacháin ina dhiaidh sin, 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 agus 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 (10ú) 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, achanocht was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Vernalis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez tSiúr. 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. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he hadstopped 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., trí Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “An Casúr” Caisleán.

 

The talented, versatile, Tá mé, 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”.

 

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

 

Níos luaithe Dé Sathairn, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Bláthanna (23-0, 16 Kos), de Guadalajara, Mexico, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar ESCANDON (24-2 16 Kos), of Tolima, Colombia.

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Tá sé seo ina bhrionglóid fíor – more than a dream come true – go dtí mé,” a dúirt sé. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, yes, 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,” a dúirt sé. “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, welterweight Super Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Kos), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, crua-throid, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Colombia.
