Hawn dak Russell Jr, Gary Russell Sr. (Missier Gary u trainer) u Gary Antonio Russell(Brother iżgħar Gary u boxing prospett undefeated) kellhom jgħidu nhar it-Tlieta:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Kamp ta 'taħriġ li qed jiġri kbira, aħna qed dritt fuq kors. Kien hemm sulluzzu minuri fil-kamp minħabba I kien suppost għall-ġlieda kontra fuq Ottubru. 24. I bdew sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to Novembru 14 I cut the sparring off. I ma riedx li quċċata kmieni wisq.
“Illum (It-Tlieta) kienet l-ewwel jum tiegħi mill-ġdid lura sparring. Jien jaħdmu fuq timing tiegħi, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon huwa b'saħħithom u dejjiema. Ikun ġej dritta 'l quddiem. Jekk kantuniera tiegħu kien intelliġenti huma jippruvaw li jieħdu bogħod veloċità naħa tiegħi li se jkun fattur kbir fil-ġlieda. Huwa bzonn biex tagħlaq id-distanza, smother puntelli tiegħi hekk veloċità mhix fattur.
“Aħna qed jaħdmu fuq isir ġlied daqstant komdi fuq barra kif I am ġlied fuq ġewwa.
“A lott ta 'ġellieda huma one-dimensjonali. Aħna qed jippruvaw jagħmlu dan shine djamant min-naħat kollha.
“Naf li jien se tkun rebbieħa mingħajr dubju. Xi ħadd li inti tikseb fil-ċirku ma 'dawn żgħir, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Huwa jieħu biss wieħed sparatura. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Jien eċċitati għall-ġlieda kontra, perjodu. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Huwa jieħu ċertu tip ta 'toughness mentali u s-saħħa psikoloġika li jiksbu fil-ċirku u jwettaq. Kull min gets fil-ċirku kontra tiegħi huwa champion fl-għajnejn tiegħi.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Jekk niġi passat Escandon I imħabba għall-ġlieda kontra 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, anki jekk ikun tilef, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Wara familja tiegħi miegħi matul kamp ta 'taħriġ tfisser dak kollu għalija. Huwa fejn nista 'nikseb l-enerġija tiegħi minn. A lott ta 'guys jħossu bħal dawn ikollhom li jitbiegħed għal kamp ta' taħriġ, imma jien ma jkollhom leave għad-dar. Familja tiegħi hija l-forza wara kamp ta 'taħriġ tiegħi u fejn nsib enerġija tiegħi u l-motivazzjoni. Fl-aħħar tal-ġurnata, I kaxxa għall-familja tiegħi.
“Jekk my brother jispiċċa ġlied fuq undercard tiegħi jkun ħafna jibred għalija. Se jkun umoristiċi għaliex jekk ma jikkompetu, inti żgur ser tara lili jaħdmu kantuniera tiegħu qabel ġlieda titolu tiegħi.”
SR GARY RUSSELL.:
“Naf huwa ġlieda kampjonat, iżda immorru fis-kull ġlieda bħal din hija ġlieda titolu. Ma nafux ton dwar avversarju tiegħu, aħna biss ferrovija bħall ċampjins.
“I ikollhom sitt ulied, kollha kemm huma ġellieda. Dawn kollha għandhom attributi differenti kif in-nies li jittraduċu differenti fis min huma bħala nies u fil-ċirku.
“Antonio Russell huwa 4-0, hu ħadem verament diffiċli kollha tal-ħajja tiegħu. Barra mill-gym, huwa jista 'jiffissa xejn. Antoine, li sempliċiment kwalifikata għall-provi Olimpiku, hija brillanti. Jien kburi ħafna minnu minħabba li huwa biss bil-gradwazzjonijiet valedictorian tal-klassi tiegħu ma 'l-ogħla GPA ta' xi ħadd fil-kontea Prince George s. Imbagħad għandek Gary, li qed tant diffiċli taħdem, hu l-Patrijarka futur tal-familja. Huwa għandu spirtu qodma.
“Jien kburi kollha tal-gidjien tiegħi u jien kburi li aħna qed unità tal-familja b'saħħtu. Aħna tgħallimna ħafna minn telf Gary li Vasyl Lomachenko. Għandna motto fil-ġinnasju li prekarja minn strixxa bi slogan, jgħid "Suċċess hija l-vendetta Ultimate’ u konna għexet minn dak li qatt minħabba li telf. Aħna tgħallimna lezzjoni importanti minn din il-ġlieda u mxew fuq.
“Boxing hija ħaġa trasmessi, inti ma tagħmel dan għal dejjem. Aħna qed tagħmel ħaġa tagħna stess. M'inix inkwetat dwar liema nies oħra għamlu.
“Bħala missier, istint paterna tiegħek kicks għaliex f'dan l-isport, xejn jista 'jiġri. Inti ma tridx tara tifel tiegħek jispiċċaw iweġġgħu. Allura aħna ferrovija għal kwalunkwe ċirkostanza. Minħabba li istint, Stajt ġiet stretta u iebes fuq wlied tiegħi sabiex tipprova biex jinżammu sikuri.”

CARSON, Calif. (April 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 IS-SIBT lejl, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofSHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP boxing jgħixu fuq SHOWTIME.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Polonja, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Messiku, 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. Mumenti aktar tard, 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 u 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, immatonight 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. 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., permezz ta 'Albany, N.Y., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “L-Hammer” Castle.

 

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

 

Earlier IS-SIBT, fuq SHOWTIME EXTREME, undefeated Moises “El Chucky” Fjuri (23-0, 16 Kos), ta 'Guadalajara, Messiku, 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, Kolombja.

 

Fjuri, teħid tiegħu 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, trijunfanti mill-punteġġi ta ' 116-112 darbtejn u 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Dan huwa ħolma realtà – more than a dream come true – for me,” huwa qal. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, iva, 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,” huwa qal. “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, hard-ġġieldu, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Kolombja.
