“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., who improves his record to 27 wins, one loss, 15 knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 pounds. I will go anywhere to get that fight.

 

Pedraza

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight. I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus tonight. I had a better training camp. I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”
