Chambers went back to his native Pittsburgh to train in neighboring city Coal Center, PA.
“My mind is set on winning a world title at 140 pond. After the three losses, I cant afford any missteps. People see about the losses. I know I have the ability to be a world champion and on Mei 29 that will start to show.”
On the veteran opponent, Rodriguez, Upsher said, “I know he is tough and from Mexico. I will look at a little film before the fight and go from there. I really don’t worry about what he will do. He should worry about me. This fight is redemption for me. It’s a start and then I would like to right all of the losses. But first I am looking for a dominant performance Vrydag then I want to end all doubts.”

Skryf 'n opmerking
Philadelphia (Maart 17, 2015)–In die nasleep van sy IBF uitskakeling bout die afgelope Saterdag by die Bell-sentrum in Montreal, voormalige twee keer cruiserweight wêreldkampioen en huidige swaargewig aanspraakmaker Steve “USS” Cunningham wants to state his case to what the boxing world saw, en dit is die verkeerde man het sy hand.
Die kykerspubliek sien dat Cunningham beheer die bout en uit geland Vyacheslav Glazkov in agt van die twaalf rondes met jabs feitlik ewe en Cunningham landing meer krag skote op die wysie van 123-84.
In totaal, Cunningham uit gegooi Glazkov deur 208 stoot en uit hom geland 180-144 oor die twaalf rondom stryd.
“Die syfers, die persepsie, die video, nie een van hulle lê,” Said Cunningham.
“Kyk na die statistieke. Kyk na sy gesig. The man spit out his mouthpiece three times because he really had no answer for what I was doing to him. I was hurting him to the body. His corner even pleaded with him that he needed a knockout in the final round to beat me. Somehow two judges gave him eight rounds and another gave him seven. Why bother fighting if this stuff is going to happen? I outworked him, hom uit geland en het hom geslaan elke watter manier moontlik. He was considered the puncher coming into the fight but as the fight progressed it was me walking him down trying to make him fight.”
“Wanneer sal die ondersteuners moeg van al hierdie slegte besluite? What can the fighters do about that? It has to be the fans that pay the money. Look at my rematch with Tomasz Adamek and now this fight. Nou, Ek moet 'n verpligte uitdager om te veg vir die Swaargewig kampioenskap van die wêreld, maar as gevolg van hierdie verskriklike regters wees, Ek het my volgende skuif te dink.”
