With that physique you would think he would have more power to be knocking these dudes out on his record.

Tim focuses too much on weight lifting and not enough on technique. He has the skill but the motherfukker won't stop lifting

But there have been other reports about the fight that don't agree with this chick's tweets. Michael Woods has been consistently saying it isn't about money and that PBC wants the fight to be the kickoff for their fight schedule in 2016.

You can ask her on twitter where her sources are from. I'm just going by what she's posted and stood firm by

More importantly, I would like @patscorpio to tell us again about how wrong it is for someone to be coming off a loss, and then fight for the Championship in their very next fights, like Escandon is doing when he faces Turbo Fists

Gary Russell: I Want Leo Santa Cruz, Selby or Mares Next

Posted by: Carlos Boogs on 10/29/2015 .


By Carlos Boogs

Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KOs) is looking to start off 2016 in a very big way. Before he can get to that point, he must return his WBC featherweight championship on November 14.

Russell will make his first defense against Colombia's Oscar Escandón (24-2, 16 KOs) in the main event of Showtime televised card from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

If Russell is victorious, he wants to face WBA champion Leo Santa Cruz, IBF champion Lee Selby or even Abner Mares next.

Russell and all three of his potential targets are managed by Al Haymon and fight under the Premier Boxing Champions umbrella.

"If I get past Escandon I would love to fight 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, even though he lost, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we'd like to fight," Russell said.

Russell is not expecting an easy night with Escandon, who has something to prove after losing a close split decision in his last fight to Moises Flores in April. Russell on the other hand has been on a roll since suffering his first career defeat last year to Vasyl Lomachenko.

Russell will stay defensive, use his speed and stick to his game plan of outboxing Escandon to a decision or a knockout victory.

"Oscar Escandon is strong and durable. He comes straight forward. If his corner was smart they would try to take away my hand speed which will be a big factor in the fight. He'll need to close the distance, smother my punches so speed isn't a factor," Russell said.

"I know that I will be victorious without a doubt. Anyone that you get in the ring with these small, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he's a big puncher or not. It only takes one shot. It's the fighters' job to take away that opportunity."





Abner Mares responds:







Let's see if GRJ really wants it now

Abner aint scared. Bring it

Exclusive: No Frampton unification unless Quigg is promoted, say IBF




A blockbuster deal between super-bantamweight champion’s Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg for February 2016 is on the verge of finally being completed following painstaking negotiations involving both camps.


Despite some reports that suggest the fight is a done deal, Quigg’s promoter Eddie Hearn told WBN on Thursday that contracts had yet to be signed as final points of the respective paperwork are worked out.

One sticking point could be the fact that Quigg remains the WBA ‘regular’ champion, which means the Bury man is unable to participate in a two-belt battle. The way around this for Hearn and Frampton’s handler Barry McGuigan is to lobby for Quigg to be bumped up to ‘super’ title status currently held by Guillermo Rigondeaux as the IBF are fiercely adamant on their current stance.

“We will not even consider a unification for Carl Frampton unless Scott Quigg is the ‘super’ champion,” IBF Chairman Lindsey Tucker exclusively told World Boxing News.

“Some of the organizations (the WBA) have multiple champions and we will only unify with highest ranked champion (currently Rigondeaux),” he added.

Seeing how the Cuban was recently stripped by the WBO, there may be a good chance Rigondeaux could suffer a similar fate with the WBA, and therefore, leave the door open for Quigg to be promoted in the nick of time.

That would mean IBF belt holder Frampton and fellow titlist Quigg would both have their respective belts on the line when the pair collide in Manchester early next year, adding even more spice to an already mammoth occasion for the UK fans.
