Thread: Bellew in position to face Adonis Stevenson... he cant wait to get his hands on em

What happens in this fight?

Will be a decent fight, bellew will have to be careful of his power and the same for Stevenson too. If Boone was capable of a knockout then a focused Bellew could as well. I know Stevenson avenged the loss but it does show that he can still be beat. Going off last nights performance Stevenson will be favourtite. Bellew can box though and he's a solid 12 round fighter. I'm on the fence at the moment, but you can make a case for both men winning the fight.

I actually haven't seen Bellew before, is it worth watching his fight with Miranda? I heard he struggled a bit in that one considering.

Tough to know what to make of Stevenson really, in theory that was a major step up in class for him but obviously all it told us was that he's a puncher. I'm still a bit baffled as to why Dawson took that fight after the Ward loss, but hindsight is 20/20 of course.

hard to tell, dawson may be completely done from the weight cut last time out and maybe any decent puncher would have got him out in same fashion last night. Bellew isn't anything special, but other than last night I haven't seen adonis so no clue really.

You've got to be joking. Bellew couldn't put a dent in Mirandas chin! An old middleweight who didn't have the greatest chin at middle. Chilemba looked shaky at supermiddle too.

Bellew has good power at British level but nothing on world level.

He never struggled, he owned Miranda, with ease.

The only problem is heave boxed, he was scared of Miranda's punch, he had Miranda hurt and didn't go for the finish in the middle rounds, u til eventually stopping him late with a body shot.

However it's hard to give Miranda credit for landing a single decent punch.

If Boone is capable of knocking out Stevenson when he has about a million losses on his record, bellew can be capable of doing the same.

Maybe, but Bellews power is hugely over exaggerated, Stevenson looks massive compared to Bellew and I don't think the unjustly named "bomber" can cause him any problem in the power department.

I don't think he will either but I'm saying its not out of the picture, I bet Stevenson didn't expect to get KTFO In the first Boone fight, but it did happen. Similar to Stevenson knocking out Dawson in the first, I don't think he expected to do that. But it's boxing and anything can happen.

Bellew isn't Julian Jackson nor Paulie Malignaggi. He punches hard enough to get respect and can certianly crack a suspect chin.

Bellew-Stevenson is a great match-up, even if it don't last long.

Don't forget that Donovan George went many rounds with Stevenson. Donovan George is a good boxer, but he is not at the elite level. I would probably rate Bellew higher than George. So, I wouldn't count out Bellew because of Stevenson's one punch knockout of Chad Dawson. I like the match up actually.

I thought Donavon George was the guy who pummelled old Chris Byrd, but apparently not heh. Was Stevenson actually hit cleanly in that fight much etc? It is hard to look past getting KO'ed by Darnell Boone for me, I expect Adonis to be a kill or be killed type guy.
If he does hold up for a while he could probably look forward to a big Montreal showdown with Pascal or even Bute if he shows some good form again, those would make a lot of sense. Tavoris Cloud vs Stevenson would likely be a good scrap as well, if Cloud has a shot at beating a world champion it's probably him.

I think Bellow can win this fight, he is hungry and will want it more. It will be a good action packed fight but think Bellow can become world champion.

Hmmm anyone remember that kovalev guy that kod campillo early in the year, he fought boone twice and kod him in two the second go round, took stevenson six. I think adonis got lucky here, kovalev was unlucky since campillo didn't have his strap due to gettin robbed against tavoris so stevenson becomes a star and kovalev continues fighting on nbc sports or whatever...funny business.
