The division is not too strong at the mo, and Stevenson is there to be taken.
Bellow has earned his position, wants and needs the shot and prob has a better chance against Stevenson than Dawson.
Stevenson is a better boxer than people give him credit for. He's not a complete bum in that sense.
Don't get me wrong, I never meant to suggest he is a bum by any means, he is still genuine world class and heavy favourite against Bellew but his result against Dawson flatters him

He can seriously punch though which makes him a legit threat to Bellew. Also his boxing isnt anywhere near as bad as some are making it out to be.

I can understand Adonis' excitement at winning the title,
but thought he was class-less when jumping about in Chads face after the fight
I think that was because before the fight Dawson was saying he was poo and not on his level. I think Stevenson just got carried away in the moment because of that.

Stevenson has previous with that, he left some guy twitching on the canvas last year, and was leaping about in the same manner, oblivious to his opponent who was badly hurt.

Deary me, crazy spasm that guy was having! Agree he hasn't got any class this Stevenson chap, but he sure has some firepower.

I know, and you have to worry about dumb ref's like that, loose in the sport. Gonzalez is convulsing, and the ref starts counting ???
