ציטוטים מסיבת עיתונאים
לוסיאן ביוט: ”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 יום שישי לילה. And it will be a spectacular fight for the fans!”
אליידר אלוורז: ”I have to win for my future and for my family. I will give everything יום שישי לילה. My time has come and I will make the best of it.”
האיבון מישל, 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 יום שישי. We have two fighters, two true competitors, who will give everything and leave everything in the ring יום שישי.”
הווארד גרנט, 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 יום שישי הלילה.”
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 יום שישי. They asked for Alvarez, they will have Alvarez.”

אדוניס ”סוּפֶּרמֶן” סטיבנסון – 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!”
תומאס ”Top Dog” וויליאמס – 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 יום שישי לילה…..facts will. There will be a new champion.”
אליידר ”סערה” אלוורז – 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.”
רוברט ”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 יום שישי.”
האיבון מישל – נשיא GYM:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no מחר, 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 יום שבת 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 (הטבעת, 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.”

![]() MONTREAL, קנדה (יוני 14, 2016) – Groupe האיבון מישל (GYM) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching אדוניס “סוּפֶּרמֶן” סטיבנסון, יולי 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Bet-O-Play. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה,” (נכסים ובניין) סדרה, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
סטיבנסון (27-1, 22 קוס), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, יגן מועצת אגרוף עולמו (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 חלוקת לירה) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC לא. 9 מדורג תומאס “Top Dog” וויליאמס (20-1, 14 קוס).
“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.,” סטיבנסון אמר. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 חודשים, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
וויליאמס, of Fort Washington, מרילנד, ב 28, הוא 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 אדווין רודריגז (28-1, 19 קוס) ו אומברטו Savigne (12-2, 9 קוס).
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 גבריאל Campillo (24-6-1, 11 קוס),” 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 יולי 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,” נשיא GYM האיבון מישל הוסיף. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 של 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. רק Shinsuke Yamanaka, של יפן, is still champion. Other fights on the יולי 29ה card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
בשיתוף התכונה, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 יָרִיב, אליידר אלוורז (19-0, 10 קוס), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 קוס), of Argentine.
Also scheduled to be in action are Nova Scotia native and adopted Montreal fighter Custio קלייטון (8-0, 7 קוס), who will attempt to continue his rise in the welterweight division, Quebec heavyweight Eric Martel Bahoeli (11-6, 7 קוס) will realize his dream to fight in Videotron Centre, charismatic Montreal welterweight Junior Ulysse (10-0, 7 קוס) וwelterweight Marie Eve Dicaire (4-0) are also slated to be in action. Other fights and fighters will soon be announced for the July 29ה כרטיס.
כל הקרבות והלוחמים כפופים לשינוי.
