Abril-Bogere & Russell-Gusev Final Press Conference Quotes‏


Abril vs. Bogere, a 12-round fight for Abril's WBA Lightweight World Championship, will take place Saturday, March 2 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The event is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, sponsored by Corona and will be televised live on SHOWTIME beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) with preliminary fights to air live on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). The co-main event will be a 10-round featherweight bout between undefeated phenom Gary Russell Jr. and Russia's Vyacheslav Gusev.

RICHAR ABRIL:
"I've waited for this fight a long time because of the postponements, so I'm happy we're just two days away.
"I don't really understand why Bogere talks so much (on Twitter), but I can tell you one thing: on Saturday, I am not going to run.
"I respect Bogere, I respect all fighters, but I'm just saying let's put on a good show for the fans.
"He's a lion, but I'm a tiger, and the real king of the jungle is the tiger."
SHARIF BOGERE:
"I want to thank everyone for being here today. I knew if I stayed positive my time would come and now it's almost here. I want to thank Golden Boy and my team for making this fight happen.
"On Saturday night, I'm going to take care of business. I'm 100 percent prepared and ready to go. On Saturday, I'll become champion of the world.''
GARY RUSSELL JR.:
"I think I trained for six and a half or seven weeks, so I am definitely ready to go. I'm looking forward to Saturday, fighting again and fighting on SHOWTIME again.
"I had a good, exciting knockout in my last fight, but I don't put pressure on myself to duplicate that kind of fight. My job is to perform and win fights."
VYACHESLAV GUSEV:
"I came all the way from Russia for this fight and I'm here to put on a really great fight. I've trained very hard for this. I know Russell is a good fighter. I'm excited about the opportunity that I'm getting."
