The Official Adonis Stevenson-Tony Bellew RBR & Discussion Thread

LOL, that Ward GIF is from devastating mid-rounds combo . Lamply is talking to Roy, when Ward goes to the body in then the head shot that snapped Rodriguez's head back, which got an "OOOOOOHHHH!!!!!" from Kellerman (?) ! Rodriguez pounded his gloves and waved Ward in, to try to diminish the combo, but clearly it hurt !

Thank god for the ref,I actually yelled out to stop the fight..Stevenson even pulled his punches..Bellew was ready to get seriously hurt..Good fights last night..

agree. great stoppage. that reminded me of litzau - broner and angulo - yorgey.

guys in that state are leaning back on the ropes, and take a while to slump to the canvas. guys get free shots on an unconscious opponent before he hits the ground. those are the types of knockouts that end a career. it's not always the sustained beatings. sometimes it's just a brutal finish.

jermain taylor was never the same after pavlik got him on the ropes
joe gamache took several shots on teh way down against gatti, and his head really smashed the canvas.

these are guys that were never the same. gamache never fought again. taylor was a shell of himself when he came back from pavlik 1.

great stoppage. that ref ought to feel good today. bellew was disappointed, but he lived to fight another day, and that's what's important.

I just noticed, after watching the knockout the 2nd time, that he actually hits Sillakh with two left hands as he's going down which is very impressive.

Stevenson doesn't know what "go to the body" means..

Are you sure you don't mean Bellew because forget the body shots, he doesn't seem to know that you need to punch back to win the fight! Stevenson got plenty of solid body shots in which ultimately contributed to Bellew's inevitable demise. Any idiot could see that.

I'm all for supporting your favorite boxers but some UK fans are seriously blinded by their unbending support for the top UK fighters regardless of the "reality" in Khan and Bellew getting destroyed by elite competition...

Stevenson has no skill.

Oh really?

He has to have some skill to be 36 years old and just destroyed Dawson, Cloud and now Bellew in under a year.

[theface07]

Stevenson is crap, but I guess he has power. Good for him

This doesn't even seem like a comment from an actual boxing fan but possibly someone who's life has been a series of disappointing failures with no one to blame for their inadequacies. Or maybe it's just an ignorant racist.

That was a meh, TKO.

Meh......

This from a guy with Pacquiao as his user image: a boxer who may be past his prime and lacking the power to even knock down let alone knock out, Brandon Rios, a fighter who isn't even top competition in his division. I always liked Pacquiao but if you think Pacquiao is the bomb and you think Stevenson's TKO of Bellews was boring than I will call you a hypocrite.

Sorry but you did that to yourself.

Kovalev is deceptively quick with his hands. After the first knockdown, I thought, how is this guy's nose bleeding like a faucet if he got cracked in the left side of the head? Even the camera wasn't fast enough for his hands ! Rewind it frame by frame, and you can see a short, lightning quick left hook to the nose get in before the guy drops.
