Adonis ”Übermensch” Stevenson – WBC and lineal light heavyweight world champion:
”Willkommen in Québec City Thomas. Ich habe deinen Kampf gegen Edwin Rodriguez gesehen. Es war eine schöne Leistung mit einem schönen KO. Als ich diesen Kampf sah, Ich sagte mir, ich wollte diesen Kampf mit dir. I knew I was going to be motivated.”
”Ich weiß, dass Williams hart trifft und dass er jetzt einen Namen in den Vereinigten Staaten hat, Aber ich behalte die gleiche Kronk Gym Mentalität, die Emmanuel Steward mir beigebracht hat: Wir gehen für die KO. It is also my daughter’s birthday and I want to get her a KO, Ich bin motiviert. That will be exciting…blink nicht!”
Thomas ”Platzhirsch” Williams – WBC #8 light heavyweight ranked challenger:
”You don’t know what I have been through to be here. Tweets, talks and predictions won’t mean nothing Freitag Nacht…..facts will. There will be a new champion.”
Eleider ”Sturm” Alvarez – WBC #1 ranked challenger and WBC Silver light heavyweight champion:
”With only a 10-day notice, I am really happy to face a fighter of good caliber. Berridge is a tough guy who faced good names like Thomas Oosthuizen and Blake Caparello, but I prepared really hard for Chad Dawson. I am ready.”
Robert ”The Butcher” Berridge – New Zealand light heavyweight champion :
”I am excited to be here and to face a solid boxer. Expect a good performance from me Freitag.”
Yvon Michel – Präsident GYM:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no morgen, combined with the explosive power of Adonis Stevenson.”
”Williams is a clear and present danger but we are convinced that Adonis is well prepared and will succeed, so that we will all be happy Samstag morning while eating breakfast. We still have not seen his full potential yet.’
”The fight between Eleider Alvarez and Robert Berridge is really important for the rankings in the light heavyweight division. Alvarez is highly considered by all the independent rankings (The Ring, BoxRec) and Berridge was already in training before the withdrawal of Chad Dawson, because he was supposed to fight on HBO PPV last weekend before the bout was cancelled for administrative reasons. He is fearless and a hard hitter.”
