Մամլո ասուլիս Հայտերը
Lucian Bute: ”I am really, really confident going into this fight. I respect Alvarez; he is the WBC No. 1 ranked contender in the light heavyweight division. He is undefeated but my best moments as a professional boxer came here in Quebec City and I am sure it will be another one of those moments Ուրբաթ գիշեր. And it will be a spectacular fight for the fans!”
Eleider Alvarez: ”I have to win for my future and for my family. I will give everything Ուրբաթ գիշեր. My time has come and I will make the best of it.”
Yvon Michel, promoter of show and both fighters: ”It is going to be an exciting fight and card. Eleider Alvarez said that he is ready to die in the ring and he means it. Lucian also is ready to do whatever it takes to win Ուրբաթ. We have two fighters, two true competitors, who will give everything and leave everything in the ring Ուրբաթ.”
Howard Grant, Bute’s trainer: ”Lucian had the best camp of his career. He had more energy in this camp than in the ones for James DeGale and Badou Jack. He had good sparring also and he will be ready Ուրբաթ գիշեր.”
Marc Ramsay, Alvarez trainer: ”This is the third time in his career that Alvarez has been called out after a sparring session. First it was Andrew Gardiner…and he was stunned by Eleider in the ninth round of the fight. He was never the same after that, got knocked out by an unknown fighter, and retired. Than it was Nicholson Poulard. He was KO’ed in the third round and he retired after that. Lucian asked Eleider for a fight after seeing a sparring between Alvarez and a fighter from the Grant Brothers Gym. He intends to deliver the goods Ուրբաթ. They asked for Alvarez, they will have Alvarez.”

Adonis ”Գերմարդ” 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 ”Հաղթող” 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 Ուրբաթ գիշեր…..facts will. There will be a new champion.”
Eleider ”Փոթորիկ” 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 Ուրբաթ.”
Yvon Michel – Նախագահ ՓԱԿՎԻ:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no վաղը, 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 Շաբաթ 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 am very happy to get back in the ring for my next fight, which will be held July 29 in the superb Centre Videotron of Quebec, against Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson - ասել. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 տարի, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Williams, of Fort Washington, Մերիլենդ, ի 28, է 10 years younger than Stevenson and also left-handed.

I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Հուլիս 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.”
“We are proud to start our association with Gestev and Centre Videotron with this gala event,” ՋԻՄ նախագահ Yvon Michel ավելացրել է. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 Հյուրատետր 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Միայն Shinsuke Yamanaka, ապոնիայի, is still champion. Other fights on the Հուլիս 29րդ card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
Ի co-հնարավորությունը, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 թեկնածու, Eleider Alvarez (19-0, 10 Նոկաուտով), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 Նոկաուտով), of Argentine.
