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.”

![]() MONTREAL, Canadá (Junho 14, 2016) – Groupe Yvon Michel (GINÁSIO) and Gestev are proud to officially announce, “SHOOTOUT”, the next fight for power-punching Adônis “Super-homem” Stevenson, Julho 29 at Centre Videotron, a presentation of Videotron in association with Mise-O-Jeu. This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxe dos Campeões” (PBC) série, 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, irá defender seu Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 divisão libra) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC Não. 9 Classificado Thomas “Melhor cachorro” Williams (20-1, 14 KOs).
“Estou muito feliz por voltar ao ringue para minha próxima luta, que será realizada em julho 29 no excelente Center Videotron de Quebec, contra Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson disse. Vou demonstrar que, como bom vinho, Fico ainda melhor com a idade. Mesmo que eu não tenha lutado por 10 meses, Eu nunca saí da academia e estou disposto a defender minha coroa.”
Williams, de Fort Washington, Maryland, em 28, é 10 anos mais jovem que Stevenson e também canhoto. Ele teve uma carreira amadora de sucesso e é considerado um grande perigo no ringue, como evidenciado por seu 10 vitórias por nocaute em menos de duas rodadas, incluindo suas duas últimas saídas contra renomados Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 KOs) e Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 KOs).
Em ambas as duas lutas, Williams era um azarão, mas sua determinação e soco letal fizeram a diferença. “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 Julho 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,” Presidente GYM Yvon Michel adicionado. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 de 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Somente Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Outras brigas no Julho 29th card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
Na co-metragem, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 contendor, 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.
Also scheduled to be in action are Nova Scotia native and adopted Montreal fighter Custio Clayton (8-0, 7 KOs), who will attempt to continue his rise in the welterweight division, Quebec heavyweight Eric Martel Bahoeli (11-6, 7 KOs) will realize his dream to fight in Videotron Centre, charismatic Montreal welterweight Ulysse júnior (10-0, 7 KOs) e meio-médio Marie Eve DiCaire (4-0) are also slated to be in action. Other fights and fighters will soon be announced for the July 29th cartão.
