CITAÇÕES CONFERÊNCIA DE IMPRENSA
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 Sexta-feira noite. 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 Sexta-feira noite. 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 Sexta-feira. We have two fighters, two true competitors, who will give everything and leave everything in the ring Sexta-feira.”
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 Sexta-feira noite.”
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 Sexta-feira. They asked for Alvarez, they will have Alvarez.”

Adônis ”Super-homem” Stevenson – WBC e campeão mundial dos meio-pesados lineares:
”Bem-vindo a Québec City Thomas. Eu vi sua luta contra Edwin Rodriguez. Foi um bom desempenho com um belo nocaute. Quando eu vi aquela luta, Eu disse a mim mesmo que queria aquela luta com você. Eu sabia que ficaria motivado.”
”Eu sei que Williams bate forte e que ele tem um nome agora nos Estados Unidos, mas mantenho a mesma mentalidade do Kronk Gym que o Emmanuel Steward me ensinou: nós vamos para o KO. Também é o aniversário da minha filha e eu quero dar a ela um KO, Eu estou motivado. Isso vai ser emocionante…não pisque!”
Thomas ”Melhor cachorro” Williams – WBC #8 desafiante classificado meio-pesado:
”Você não sabe o que eu passei para estar aqui. Tweets, conversas e previsões não significam nada Sexta-feira noite…..fatos vão. Haverá um novo campeão.”
Eleider ”Tempestade” 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 é um cara duro que enfrentou nomes como Thomas Oosthuizen e Blake Caparello, mas me preparei muito para Chad Dawson. Estou pronto.”
Robert ”The Butcher” Berridge – New Zealand light heavyweight champion :
”Estou animado por estar aqui e enfrentar um boxeador sólido. Expect a good performance from me Sexta-feira.”
Yvon Michel – Presidente do GYM:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no amanhã, 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 Sábado 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.”
Os bilhetes para o “SHOOTOUT” evento, jointly promoted by GYM and Gestev and presented by Vidéotron, in collaboration with Mise-O-Jeu, começa ás $50.00 and are on sale and available to purchase at www.ticketmaster.ca, o Videotron Centre Box Office, calling GYM at (514) 383-0666 andthe Champion Boxing club (514) 376-0980, or by dialing 1-855-790-1245
