Sinimulan ko sparing, but once the fight got pushed back to Nobyembre 14 I cut the sparring off. Hindi ko nais upang peak masyadong maaga.
“Ngayon (Martes) ay ang aking unang araw bumalik sparing muli. Ako ay nagtatrabaho sa aking timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon ay malakas at matibay. Siya ay tuwid forward. Kung kanyang sulok ay matalino sila subukan na alisin ang aking bilis ng kamay na kung saan ay isang malaking kadahilanan sa paglaban. Makikita niya kailangan upang isara ang distansya, matakpan ang aking suntok kaya bilis ay hindi isang kadahilanan.

“Nasasabik akong makipag-away, panahon. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Ito ay tumatagal ng isang tiyak na uri ng kaisipan kayamutan at sikolohikal na lakas upang makakuha ng sa ring at magsagawa. Kahit sino na ang makakakuha sa singsing laban sa akin ay isang kampeon sa aking mga mata.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Kung nakukuha ko nakaraang Escandon nais kong ibigin upang labanan 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, kahit na siya ay nawala, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Ang pagkakaroon ng pamilya ko sa akin sa panahon ng training camp ang lahat sa akin. Ito ay kung saan nakukuha ko ang aking enerhiya mula sa. Ang isang pulutong ng mga guys dating na tila mayroon sila upang makakuha ng layo para sa training camp, ngunit hindi ko na kailangang umalis sa bahay. Ang pamilya ko ang puwersa sa paghimok sa likod ng aking training camp at kung saan mahahanap ang aking kapangyarihan at pagganyak. Sa katapusan ng araw, Kahon ko para sa aking pamilya.
“Kung ang aking kapatid na lalaki ay nagtatapos up pakikipaglaban sa aking undercard magiging napaka-cool na para sa akin. Ito ay nakatatawa dahil kung siya ay makipagkumpetensya, ikaw ay tiyak na makita ako trabaho ang kanyang corner bago ang aking mga pamagat paglaban.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Alam ko ito ay isang championship fight, ngunit kami ay pumunta sa bawat away tulad ng ito ay isang title fight. Hindi natin alam kung ang isang tonelada tungkol sa kanyang kalaban, sanayin lang namin tulad ng mga Champions.
“Mayroon akong anim na anak, lahat ng mga ito ay mga mandirigma. Lahat sila ay may iba't ibang mga katangian bilang mga tao na i-translate ang iba sa kung sino sila bilang mga tao at sa singsing.
“Antonio Russell ay 4-0, siya ay nagtrabaho talagang mahirap ang lahat ng kanyang buhay. Sa labas ng gym, siya ay maaaring ayusin ang anumang bagay. Antoine, sino lamang kwalipikado para sa Olympic trials, ay napakatalino. Ako'y sobrang ipinagmamalaki ng kanya dahil nagtapos siya lamang valedictorian ng kanyang klase na may pinakamataas na GPA ng sinuman sa county Prince George. Pagkatapos ay mayroon kang Gary, Siyang labis na mahirap na nagtatrabaho, siya ang apo hinaharap ng pamilya. Siya ay may isang lumang espiritu.

Kami ay may isang motto sa gym na hangs mula sa isang banner, sinasabi nito 'Tagumpay ay ang panghuli paghihiganti’ at nagbigay kami nanirahan sa pamamagitan na mula pa sa pagkawala. Natutunan namin ang isang mahalagang aral mula sa na away at lumipat sa.

“Gamit ang paraan ng aming tren at away, aming pagtatanggol set up ng aming mga pagkakasala at ang aming pagkakasala set up ang aming pagtatanggol.
“Aking trabaho ay upang pumunta doon at manalo fights. Alam ko ang aking mga kalaban ay isang tall guy, pero alam ko rin na hindi siya ay pagpunta upang manalo. Hindi siya ay magkaroon ng punching power o ring pagheheneral na mayroon akong.
“Kapag manalo ako, Ako sa susunod. Ako sinanay upang patuloy na labanan. Umaasa ako na nakukuha ko ito tao sa labas ng maaga, kung ito ay dumating at nagtatanghal ng kanyang sarili. Pagkatapos Gusto ko upang labanan sa card aking mga mas lumang kapatid na dalawang linggo matapos.”
