    I really want Tony Bellew to win this. Problem is he is too easy to hit and if you get hit by Stevenson you normally encounter a problem or 2.

    His defense is quite good but I still think his chances are quite small. Stevenson has proven he can beat better boxers then himself also.

    I hope Tony wins, but he will need to tighten his defence for this bout. Nice to see he's got the fight he wants.

    Bellew will be bashed up and stopped unfortunatley. His only hope IMO is to risk it all from the first bell and hope he lands a big one first or that Stevenson is hiding a shaky chin...hardly master tactics I no but I can't see any other alternative..Superman seems to be able to deal with boxers as he did with cloud and Dawson wipe out

    Bellew will try to box Stephenson. He'll want to survive and take it to deep water.

    Stevenson wins easy and early.

    Bellew will try and employ a similar gameplan to what he did in the McKenzie II and Miranda fights, all this talk that he's gonna "fight fire with fire" is bollocks, he does that he gets a Chad Dawson special, he tries to keep it long and he gets bust up like Cloud but falls earlier.

    I'm sorry to say it but if he can't beat Cleverly then he ain't beating Adonis


    What's really exciting is the fact that Kovalev is defending his title on the same card, could this be the pre-lude to the mouth-watering Stevenson-Kovalev clash for early next year?

    Bellew will try and keep it long, but he will get clipped sooner or later and then it will be a showreel KO.

    Sorry, I like Tony, but this guy is a killer puncher and he has decent skills too.

    The real grand stand fight of this division is Stevenson/Kovalev. What a belter that will be!

    Suddenly, after years of Chad (bore) Dawson and Borehard Hopkins, the LHW division looks like the place to be.

    I agree with Ray, Stevenson is the real deal; skills and power in abundance and seems to just get better as time goes on.
    Tony has great heart and belief, which adds intrigue - but I think the difference in class will be all too obvious. Bellew will give it all though no doubt and in the case that he does lose will give ultimate respect and dues.
    Stevenson/Kovalev assuming they both get through their fights is a fantastic fight.
