GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Tabără de antrenament se va mare, suntem chiar pe curs. Nu a fost un sughiț minor în tabăra pentru că trebuia să lupte Oct. 24. Am început sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to Noiembrie 14 I cut the sparring off. Nu am vrut să vârf prea devreme.
“Astăzi (Marți) a fost prima mea zi înapoi sparring din nou. Lucrez la calendarul meu, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon este puternic si durabil. El înaintează direct. Dacă colțul său era inteligent le-ar încerca să ia viteza mea de mână, care va fi un factor important în lupta. El va trebui să închideți distanta, sufoca pumni mei așa viteză nu este un factor.
“Suntem de lucru pentru a deveni lupta la fel ca confortabil la exterior ca am lupta în interior.
“O mulțime de luptători sunt unidimensionale. Suntem încercarea de a face ca strălucească diamant pe toate laturile.
“Știu că voi fi victorios, fără îndoială. Oricine care te în ring cu aceste mici, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Este nevoie de doar un shot. It’s the fightersjob to take away that opportunity.
“Sunt încântat să lupte, perioadă. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Este nevoie de un anumit tip de tenacitate mentală și puterea psihologică pentru a obține în ring și de a efectua. Oricine intră în ring împotriva mea este un campion in ochii mei.
It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Dacă aș se desprindă de Escandon Mi-ar plăcea să lupte 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, chiar dacă a pierdut, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Având familia mea cu mine în timpul tabără de antrenament înseamnă totul pentru mine. E în cazul în care primesc energia mea de. O mulțime de tipi simt ca ei trebuie sa scape de tabără de antrenament, dar nu trebuie să plece de acasă. Familia mea este forța motrice din spatele tabăra mea de formare și în cazul în care mi se pare puterea mea și motivația. La sfârșitul zilei, Am caseta pentru familia mea.
“Dacă fratele meu se termină lupta pe Undercard mea ar fi foarte misto pentru mine. Acesta va fi amuzant pentru că, dacă el intră în competiție, veți vedea cu siguranță mă să lucrez la colț înainte lupta mea titlu.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Știu că este o lupta campionat, dar vom merge în fiecare luptă ca este o lupta titlu. Noi nu știm o tona despre adversarul său, ne-am tren ca Campionilor.
“Am șase fii, toate acestea sunt luptători. Ei au toate diferite atribute ca oameni care traduce diferit în care ei sunt la fel de oameni și în ring.
“Antonio Russell este 4-0, el a muncit din greu toată viața lui. În afara de sala de sport, el poate repara nimic. Antoine, care tocmai sa calificat pentru studiile Olimpice, este genial. Sunt foarte mândru de el, pentru că tocmai a absolvit sef de promotie al clasei sale cu cea mai mare AAP de cineva din judetul Prince George. Atunci aveți Gary, care este atât de greu de lucru, el este viitorul patriarh al familiei. El are un spirit vechi.
“Sunt mândru de toate copiii mei și sunt mândru că suntem o unitate de familie puternică. Am învățat multe de la pierderea lui Gary la Vasyl Lomachenko. Avem un motto la sala de sport, care atârnă de un banner, se spune "Succesul este Revenge Ultimate’ și am trăit prin care încă de la pierderea. Am învățat o lecție importantă de la care luptă și s-au mutat pe.
“Boxul este un lucru trecător, nu o fac pentru totdeauna. Facem propria noastră lucru. Nu sunt îngrijorat de ceea ce alți oameni au făcut.
“Ca un tată, instinctul patern începe în acest sport, deoarece în, orice se poate întâmpla. Tu nu vrei să vezi pe fiul tău ajunge rănit. Deci, ne antrenăm pentru orice împrejurare. Din cauza asta instinct, Am fost strict și greu pe fiii mei, în scopul de a încerca să le menține în condiții de siguranță.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Luptele de pe Vineri, Octombrie. 30 non-televizat Premier box Campionilor pe Undercard Bounce TV și potențial Noiembrie 14 Undercard.):
“Cu modul în care ne antrena și lupta, apărarea noastră stabilește infracțiune nostru și infracțiune nostru stabilește apărarea noastră.
“Treaba mea este de a merge acolo și de a câștiga lupte. Știu că adversarul meu este un tip înalt, dar eu, de asemenea, știu că el nu este de gând să câștige. El nu are puterea de perforare sau de general inel care am.
“După ce am câștigat, Sunt la următoarea. Am antrenat să lupte în mod constant. Sper să obține acest tip devreme, dacă este vorba și se prezintă. Apoi mi-ar plăcea să lupte pe cardul fratele meu mai mare a două săptămâni după.”

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 (10lea) 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.

We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.
