Adonis is a ***** and totally ignoring Usyk's previous achievements as if Bellew is his only big fight at cruiserweight. If he wants to derail the hype train he's more than welcome to head up and get himself the treatment Tony got.
He wasn't a champion yet, but I'd say he was. Also, Boone is a legit fighter, but lacked good management, so he would often take any fight on short notice whether it be at 160, 168, or 175, which unfortunately took a major toll on him and ruined him as a fighter. From 2009 to 2010 Boone was fighting top prospect after top prospect ever other month. A fighter with good management tends to have their fights more spaced out throughout the year so that they can recover properly and are rarely matched as aggressively. Even at 36 Boone is still dangerous This content is protected Knocking down Ward This content is protected Abel discussing Boone working with GGG. This content is protected Boone also knocked down Kovalev, but the fight got taken down years ago. This was a great learning experience for Kovalev, who was sent to canvas for the first time in his career in round seven but stood up to win victory. http://www.15rounds.com/sergey-kova...ith-split-decision-over-darnell-boone-101210/
Seems odd that Stevenson would be talking about Bellew and getting no respect at this time. He should be fully focused on Gvozdyk. If he gets past Govzdyk then maybe he can do more of his Larry Holmes imitation of getting no respect.
