ПРЕС-КОНФЕРЕНЦИЈА цитати
Лукијан 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 Петок ноќ. And it will be a spectacular fight for the fans!”
Eleider Алварез: ”I have to win for my future and for my family. I will give everything Петок ноќ. My time has come and I will make the best of it.”
Ивон Мишел, 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 Петок. We have two fighters, two true competitors, who will give everything and leave everything in the ring Петок.”
Хауард Грант, 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 Петок ноќ.”
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 Петок. They asked for Alvarez, they will have Alvarez.”

”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!”
Томас ”Топ пес” Вилијамс – Земјите од Западен Балкан #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 Петок ноќ…..facts will. There will be a new 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.”

”I am excited to be here and to face a solid boxer. Expect a good performance from me Петок.”
Ивон Мишел – Претседателот на салата:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no утре, 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 Сабота 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 (Прстенот, 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.”

This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Премиер бокс шампионите” (PBC) серија, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
Стивенсон (27-1, 22 КО), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, ќе ја брани својата Светската боксерска Советот (Земјите од Западен Балкан) and lineal light heavyweight (175 фунтата поделба) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 Номинална Томас “Топ пес” Вилијамс (20-1, 14 КО).
“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.,” Стивенсон изјави. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 месеци, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Вилијамс, of Fort Washington, Мериленд, на 28, е 10 years younger than Stevenson and also left-handed. He had a successful amateur career and is reputed to be a major danger in the ring as evidenced by his 10 victories won by knockout in less than two rounds, including his last two outings against renowned Едвин Родригез (28-1, 19 КО) и Умберто Savigne (12-2, 9 КО).
In both of those two fights, Williams was an underdog, but his determination and lethal punch made the difference. “There were many who had lost trust in me two years ago after my loss to Габриел Campillo (24-6-1, 11 КО),” Williams explained. “I don’t make excuses but there were circumstances that led to this result. I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Јули 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,” GYM претседател Ивон Мишел додадени. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 на 16 other WBC titles have changed hands.
