The 33-year-old bounced back from the defeat in his last outing by earning a wide unanimous decision over Blake Caparello last April. After a decorated amateur career that saw him win two U.S. Amateur World Championships in addition to an Olympic bronze medal, Dirrell was unbeaten in his first 18 pro fights before losing a split decision to Carl Frosh in 2009.

Hér er það sem Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Faðir Gary og þjálfari) og Gary Antonio Russell(Yngri bróðir Gary og undefeated box horfur) þurfti að segja á þriðjudag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Æfingabúðir er að fara mikill, við erum rétt á námskeið. Það var smá stress í búðunum vegna þess að ég átti að berjast á okt. 24. Ég byrjaði sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to Nóvember 14 I cut the sparring off. Ég vildi ekki að hámarki of snemma.
“Í dag (Þriðjudagur) var fyrsti dagurinn minn aftur sparring aftur. Ég er að vinna á tímasetningu minn, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er sterkt og endingargott. Hann kemur beint áfram. Ef horn hans var klár að þeir myndu reyna að taka burt hönd hraða minn sem verður stór þáttur í baráttunni. Hann mun þurfa að loka fjarlægð, kæfa kýla mínum svo hraði er ekki þáttur.
“Við erum að vinna í að verða bara eins og þægilegt berjast utan eins og ég er að berjast á inni.
“A einhver fjöldi af bardagamenn eru einn-víddar. Við erum að reyna að gera það demantur skína á öllum hliðum.
“Ég veit að ég mun sigra án efa. Einhver sem þú færð í hringinn með þessum lítill, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Það tekur aðeins eitt skot. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Ég er spenntur að berjast, tímabil. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Það tekur ákveðna tegund af andlegu Toughness og sálfræðileg styrk til að komast í hringinn og framkvæma. Sá sem fær í hringinn gegn mér er meistari í mínum augum.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Ef ég komast yfir Escandon ég myndi elska að berjast 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, jafnvel þótt hann missti, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Having fjölskyldu mína með mér á æfingabúðir þýðir allt fyrir mig. Það er þar sem ég fá orku mína frá. A einhver fjöldi af krakkar finnst eins og þeir þurfa að komast í burtu æfingabúðir, en ég þarf ekki að fara heim. Fjölskyldan mín er drifkrafturinn á bak við æfingabúðir minn og þar sem ég finna mátt minn og hvatning. Í lok dagsins, Ég kassi fyrir fjölskyldu mína.
“Ef bróðir minn endar berjast á undercard mína það væri mjög flott fyrir mig. Það verður fyndið því ef hann er að keppa, þú munt örugglega sjá mig vinna horn hans áður titli baráttu mína.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ég veit að það er úrslita berjast, en við förum inn í hvert baráttunni eins og það er titill berjast. Við vitum ekki tonn um andstæðingi sínum, við lest bara eins meistarar.
“Ég hef sex sonu, öllum þeim eru bardagamenn. Þeir hafa allir mismunandi eiginleika eins og fólk sem þýða á annan inn sem þeir eru eins og fólk og í hringnum.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, hann er unnið mjög hart allt sitt líf. Utan ræktina, hann getur lagað allt. Antoine, sem bara hæfur fyrir the Olympic rannsóknum, er ljómandi. Ég er mjög stolt af honum vegna þess að hann útskrifaðist bara valedictorian af bekknum með hæsta GPA á einhver í sýslu Prince George. Síðan sem þú ert Gary, hver er svo erfitt að vinna, Hann er framtíð patriarcha af fjölskyldunni. Hann hefur gamla anda.
“Ég er stolt af öllum krökkunum mínum og ég er stolt af því að við erum sterk fjölskyldan eining. Við lærðum mikið af tapi Gary að Vasyl Lomachenko. Við höfum einkunnarorð í ræktinni sem hangir úr borði, það segir "Velgengni er Ultimate Revenge’ og við höfum búið við að síðan tap. Við lærði mikilvæga lexíu af þessari baráttu og hafa flutt.
“Boxing er skammvinnur hlutur, þú gerir það ekki að eilífu. Við erum að gera eigin hlutur okkar. Ég hef ekki áhyggjur af því sem aðrir hafa gert.
“Sem faðir, ingar eðlishvöt ánægja í því að í þessari íþrótt, allt getur gerst. Þú vilt ekki að sjá son þinn endað meiða. Þannig að við að þjálfa fyrir hvaða aðstæður. Vegna þess eðlishvöt, Ég hef verið strangur og harður á sona minna í því skyni að reyna að halda þeim öruggum.”

“Með hvernig við þjálfa og baráttunni, vörnin okkar setur upp afbrot okkar og brot okkar setur upp varnir okkar.
“Mitt starf er að fara í það og vinna berst. Ég veit andstæðingurinn minn er mikill gaur, en ég veit líka að hann er ekki að fara að vinna. Hann hefur ekki gata vald eða hringur generalship sem ég hef.
“Þegar ég unnið, Ég er á til the næstur. Ég þjálfaðir til að berjast stöðugt. Ég vona að ég fái þetta strákur út snemma, ef það kemur og kynnir sig. Þá myndi ég elska að berjast á kortið eldri bróður míns tveimur vikum eftir.”

(Apríl 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 Laugardagur nótt, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime CHAMPIONSHIP Hnefaleikar lifa á Showtime.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Pólland, 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. Augnablikum síðar, 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 og 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 (10th) 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, enkvöld 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, “Kannski 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 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., með því Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “The Hammer” Castle.

 

The talented, versatile, Ég hef, 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, sagði “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; vel, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Fyrr Laugardagur, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Blóm (23-0, 16 Kos), 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. “Þetta er draumur að rætast – more than a dream come true – for me,” sagði hann. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, já, 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,” sagði hann. “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, frábær welterweight 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, harður-fought, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Colombia.
