Not good, lost every round and then got stopped. No shame in that though, Stevenson is a great fighter.
Talked a big fight, disrespecting his opponent as usual. Fought like a ***** as usual. Got banged out. Doesnt cut the mustard at world level as we already knew. Too basic.
He had one good moment in the fight which he should have capitalised on because despite the fact Stevenson is showing some great credentials, I don't think his chin is up to much. I expected Bellew to create more of those opportunities throughout the fight but it wasn't to be because he was too cautious of Stevenson's power.
I never understood this gameplan of let your opponent get tired or wait til the second half, if you get cut or something your gonna wish ud just gone for it At the end of the day they are both human and punching eachother in the head just try from the start
It was a terrible performance, only reason he lasted 6 rds is due to not throwing punches and running from corner to corner. Didn't appear to have tactics or a gameplan. Waiting for your opponent to tire is never a good stategy if your not throwing body punches which he never did.
And celebrating like he won the lottery after he beats them. Made a show of himself after beating atoli moore. Dropping to his knees, screaming for ages "i am the mother****ing man!" into the camera. Tosser.
maybe a rematch with clev would draw a little interest at club level, but not like it would have a year ago.
it is a very unforgiving sport, and quite sad but if you remember back 2 years clev and tony were the most popular fighters on the whole site. now i do not think we will see much of either anymore.
I doubt a rematch with Cleverly will ever happen to be honest, I think they may try and take Bellew the WBA route, think he'll maybe have 2 fights next year and then somebody like Braehmer or Shumenov.
would've got banged out in round 1 if he didn't leg it around the ring there's being cautious and being scared Bellew fought scared, doesn't deserve to be called Bomber ..John Conteh must be disgusted with Bellew performance.
I think Bellews has a good boxing brain and understands the sport......however he doesn't have the talent or physical attributes to achieve what he believes he can Will never be World level unless he gets an easy route like Cleverly did
