Adonis "Superman" Stevenson(23-1-0(20 KO) made an impressive title defense last Saturday against only once defeated Tony Bellew from the UK. Adonis dominated all the fight and stopped Tony on the end of round 6. It was the second title defense fight for Stevenson. Two months ago on his first title defense he stopped Tavoris Cloud on the 7th round of one sided fight. Stevenson made a great performance and I am very interested whom he will face next. Carl Froch, Bernard Hopkins or maybe unbeaten Sergey Kovalev?
From the first round Bellew took
absolutely wrong tactics against hard hitting Stevenson. He decided to
fight as number two boxer and was running all night from Stevenson. He
decided to catch Stevenson on counters. I mean it was so wrong because
Stevenson is 100% outside fighter. He felt like a fish in the ocean.
Instead of using his height advantage Tony was running all night long.
All five rounds went in the same
manner. Stevenson was chasing Bellew and landing his jab to the body and
his big left hand to the head from time to time. Bellew also had his
moments, he was able to land some very nice punches on counter and also
some beautiful overhands, but Stevenson took all those punches very
well. Maybe those punches could have a greater effect, but Bellew landed
then very rare. He lost all first five rounds by my score card....
