”I am excited to be here and to face a solid boxer. Expect a good performance from me Fredag.”

”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.”

“SHOOTOUT IN QUEBEC” Adonis Stevenson vs. Thomas Williams Jr. WBC Light Heavyweight Championship Live at Centre Videotron
 MONTREAL, Canada (Juni 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, Juli 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxing Champions” (PBC) Serien, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
Stevenson (27-1, 22 KOs), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, vil forsvare sin World Boxing Council (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 pound divisjon) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC No. 9 karakter Thomas “Top Dog” Williams (20-1, 14 KOs).
“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 sa. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 måneder, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Williams, of Fort Washington, Maryland, ved 28, er 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 Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 KOs) og Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 KOs).
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 Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 KOs),” 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 Juli 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 president Yvon Michel lagt. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 av 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Bare Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Other fights on the Juli 29th card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
I co-feature, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 kandidat, Eleider Alvarez (19-0, 10 KOs), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 KOs), of Argentine.

MONTREAL (Juni 4) – Mens verden sørger over tapet av Muhammad Ali, Lørdag nattens Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) på ESPN og ESPN Deportes telecast begynte med en “Seremoniell 10-greve” til minne om “The Greatest” og fortsatte å hylle ham gjennom hele sendingen som ble ledet av en lett tungvektskamp mellom hardtslående russisk olympier Artur Beterbiev mot Argentina Ezekiel Moderne.
Den 31 år gamle Beterbiev (10-0, 10 KOs), som kjemper ut av Montreal, kom tilbake til ringen etter en nesten år lang permittering etter en skulderoperasjon. Nå er sju måneder fjernet fra prosedyren, Beterbiev så skarp ut fra åpningsklokken da han kastet rette høyrehender og kroppsskudd effektivt for å starte kampen.
Maderna, som også kom etter en lang permittering, håpet å komme med en uttalelse i sin første kamp på nordamerikansk jord da han gikk opp i vekt for denne kampen. 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.
Ved starten av runde fire, Maderna ble droppet med en straffende høyre hånd. Han reiste seg bare finne seg selv lerret agan, ser på hjørnet hans, de kastet inn håndkleet og kampen ble stoppet kl 54 sekunder av runde fire.
”Jeg er veldig fornøyd med prestasjonen min,” sa Beterbiev. “Jeg vil takke teamet mitt for deres tålmodighet under min inaktivitet.”
”Mannen min gjorde det veldig bra etter et års fravær,” sa Beterbievs trener Marc Ramsay. “Han er veldig spesiell. På kort eller mellomlang tid, vi ønsker å kjempe i et verdensmesterskap.”
PBC på ESPN-sending, som er den første av syv mellom Juni 4 og august 12, åpnet med to weltervekts sørpoter mot hverandre i håp om å opprettholde sine ubeseirede rekorder. Men, det tok ikke lang tid for Florida Bryant Perrella (14-0, 13 KOs) for å bevise at han var den bedre mannen da han scoret en andre runde TKO over Washington, D.C David Grayton (14-1, 10 KOs).
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. Perrella slo Grayton ned i begynnelsen av andre runde og ble kraftfull med høyre hånd da Grayton lot seg bli utsatt for straff. Endelig, Perrella kastet en venstre som fikk Grayton til å snuble og dommer David Griffin vinket av kampen kl. 2:19.
“Han kom inn veldig tøft – en tøff konkurrent,” Said Perrella. “Jeg var den beste mannen i kveld. Jeg tok ham med noen harde skudd, fortumlet ham. Jeg tok meg god tid, Jeg lyttet til hva teamet mitt sa og fikk ham ut derfra.
“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.”
Også omtalt på sendingen var en seks-runders superweltervektkonkurranse mellom prospektet Jamontay Clark (10-0, 6 KOs) av Cincinnati og den meksikanske krigeren Edgar Ortega (16-6, 10 KOs). Spillet Ortega sjokkerte den seks fot to store Clark i første runde, sender ham til lerretet med en hard høyre hånd. Clark kom tilbake til roen mellom første og andre, kontrollere kampen fra da av. Til tross for at han tok kampen med ni dager’ legge merke til, Ortega ble med Clark alle seks rundene, selv rulle ankelen i den fjerde. Etter at den siste klokken ringte, Clark forble ubeseiret, registrerer en enstemmig avgjørelsesseier med dommerne som scorer kampen 58-55 og 58-54 (to ganger).

Den 31 år gamle Beterbiev (9-0, 9 KOs), den adopterte sønnen til Montreal, er på et søk-og-ødelegg-oppdrag for sin første kamp Perrella to face Grayton June 4 på ESPN
Fort Myers, FL (Mai 11, 2016) – Welterweight sensation Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella will face his toughest foe to date when he challenges fellow unbeaten southpaw David “Day-Day” Grayton Lørdag, Juni 4 ved Bell Centre i Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The Perrella-Grayton bout serves as the co-main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card televised on ESPN.
Living and fighting out of Fort Myers, FL, the heavy-handed Perrella has a stellar 13-0 profesjonell hovedbok med 12 vinner på knockout. Against Grayton, the 6’0 Perrella fights on TV for a third consecutive time, previously halting both Chaquib Fadli and Ramon Ayala. Før det, Perrella impressively stopped dangerous Patrick Boozer, ending a remarkable year and a half run where he took out three previously unbeaten fighters. Som en amatør, Perrella competed in the 2012 US Olympic Trials where he defeated current rising star Regis Prograis before coming up short against Sammy Vasquez and eventual winner Errol Spence.
Hailing from talent-laden Washington, DC, Grayton is an excellent 14-0 and has ten kayos. I oktober 2015, Grayton bested often-avoided Martin Wright over eight rounds. Fighting under the tutelage of George Peterson, who developed Paul Williams into one of boxing’s best fighters, Grayton had an excellent amateur pedigree of his own. I 2010, he defeated the aforementioned Spence to capture National Golden Gloves title and he also won bronze at the 2012 turnering.
“I know he’s undefeated and is coming to fight but this is a big step up for him,” Perrella said of Grayton. “I expect him to try and drag me into a dog fight. Regardless of what he brings, I’m looking forward to come out on top with a great performance. I’ve fought the better opposition and have been asking for harder fights. I believe I’m an overall better fighter and on Juni 4 everybody will see that.”
Michael Nowling, Perrella’s head trainer, is very familiar Grayton and is equally as confident his fighter will emerge victorious.
“David Grayton is a strong and athletic southpaw that is coming to win. Regardless, he’s never fought anybody like Bryant Perrella. For some time now, I’ve wanted Bryant to step up and fight another prospect because I believe he’s better than a lot of guys out there. Against Grayton, our plan is to break him down and win in style. Doing so in a fight like this can set us apart from other prospects.”
The card is promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) and is headlined by a bout featuring light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev against 2008 Argentinean Olympian Ezequiel Maderna.
Tickets will be available on Groupeyvonmichel.ca/eng/tickets.html shortly.
