“Danes (Torek) je bil moj prvi dan spet sparring. Delam na mojem časovnega, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon je močna in vzdržljiva. Prihaja naravnost naprej. Če je bil njegov kotiček pametno bi poskušali vzeti mojo hitrost, ki bo velik dejavnik v boju roke. On boste morali zapreti razdaljo, duši moje udarce, tako hitrost ni dejavnik,.
“Delamo na postajajo prav tako udobno spopadov na zunaj kot borim na notranji.

It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Če bi se otresel svojega čuvaja Escandon Rada bi boj 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, čeprav je izgubil, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Ob mojo družino z mano v času usposabljanja tabora mi pomeni vse. To je, če dobim energijo iz. Veliko fantov se počutijo, kot da imajo pobegniti za usposabljanje tabor, ampak jaz ne bi bilo treba zapustiti dom. Moja družina je gonilna sila moj tabor za usposabljanje in kje najdem moč in motivacijo. Ob koncu dneva, Jaz škatla za mojo družino.
“Če je moj brat konča boj na mojem undercard bi bilo zelo kul za mene. To bo smešno, ker če on ne tekmuje, boste zagotovo videli me delati svoj kotiček pred mojim naslov boju.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Vem, da je prvenstvo v boj, ampak gremo v vsakem boju, kot da je naziv boj. Ne vemo, tone o nasprotnikom, smo samo vlak kot prvaki.

“Antonio Russell je 4-0, on je res trdo delal vse svoje življenje. Izven telovadnice, zna popraviti ničesar. Antoine, ki je pravkar usposobljeni za olimpijske preskušanjih, je briljantno. Zelo sem ponosen na njega, ker je pravkar diplomiral zadolžen za poslovilni govor svojega razreda z najvišjo GPA vsakogar v okrožju Prince George je. Potem imate Gary, Kdo je tako trdo delajo, on je prihodnost patriarh družine. On ima staro duh.
“Ponosen sem na vse moje otroke in sem ponosen, da smo močna družina enota. Veliko pred izgubo Gary smo se naučili Vasyl Lomachenko. Imamo moto v telovadnici, ki visi iz banner, pa pravi, "Uspeh je Ultimate Revenge’ in smo živeli s tem, da odkar izgube. Izvedeli smo pomembno lekcijo iz tega boja in so se preselili na.
“Boks je minljiva stvar, ga ne stori večno. Delamo lastne stvar. Nisem v skrbeh, kaj so drugi ljudje naredili.
“Kot oče, vaš očetovski nagon brcne, ker v tem športu, kaj se lahko zgodi,. Vi ne želite, da se vaš sin na koncu boli. Torej smo vlak za vsako okoliščino. Zaradi tega nagona, Sem bil strog in trdo na moje sinove, da bi poskušali obdržati na varnem.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Boj na Petek, Oktober. 30 non-televiziji Premier Boxing prvakov na Bounce TV undercard in potencialno November 14 undercard.):
“S tem, kako smo vlak in boju, naša obramba določa naše dejanje in naše dejanje postavlja našo obrambo.
“Moja naloga je, da gredo tja in osvojite borbe. Vem, da je moj nasprotnik je visok fant, Vem pa tudi, da se ne bo zmagal. On nima prebijanje moči ali obročno generalship da imam.
“Ko zmagam, Jaz sem na naslednjo. Jaz sem usposobljeni za dosledno boriti. Upam, da bom dobil ta fant zgodaj, če gre in se predstavlja. Potem bi rad boriti na kartico mojega starejšega brata dva tedna pozneje.”

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, vendarNocoj was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

Castle, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, je dejal “Mislil sem, da sem zmagal v boju. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; dobro, 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 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,” he said. “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.
