Adonis ”Superman” Stevenson – WBC and lineal light heavyweight world champion:
”Welcome to Québec City Thomas. I saw your fight against Edwin Rodriguez. It was a nice performance with a beautiful KO. When I saw that bout, I told myself I wanted that fight with you. I knew I was going to be motivated.”
”I know Williams hits hard and that he has a name now in the United States, but I keep the same Kronk Gym mentality Emmanuel Steward taught me: we go for the KO. It is also my daughter’s birthday and I want to get her a KO, I am motivated. That will be exciting…don’t blink!”
Thomas ”Top Dog” 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 Fredag natt…..facts will. There will be a new champion.”
Eleider ”Storm” 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 Fredag.”
Yvon Michel – President i GYM:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no i 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 Lørdag 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.”

I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Juli 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.”

Beterbiev brukte sin kraft og presisjon for å kontrollere hele kampen, men sparket den på høygir i tredje runde, sender den 29 år gamle Maderna til lerretet med to høyrehender. Han reiste seg, men ble kort etter sendt til lerretet igjen. Denne gangen, spytter ut munnstykket for å forsinke kampen, noe som førte til at dommer Marlon B. Wright for å trekke et poeng.

Grayton var mer aktiv i begynnelsen av kampen, arbeider med høyre hånd på innsiden. Perrella brukte sin lengre rekkevidde og høydeforskjell til sin fordel da han gjorde sitt beste for å diktere tempoet.

“Dette er enormt,” fortsatte Perella. “Dette er det vi har ønsket oss en stund for å kjempe mot et nytt ubeseiret prospekt og få den anerkjennelsen vi føler vi fortjener. Weltervektdivisjonen er fylt med løver, tigre og bjørner, men jeg er Tarzan baby. Jeg er kongen av denne jungelen. Jeg er klar for hva som helst.”
