blackrican23 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 www.boxingscene.com The WBC have set a purse bid date of July 26 for Tony Bellew to challenge Adonis Stevenson for the light heavyweight World title.Bellew claimed the mandatory challenger position by defeating Isaac Chilemba in a final eliminator at the O2 Arena on May 25, while Stevenson stunned former champ Chad Dawson with a first round KO to win the belt in his native Canada on June 8.Stevenson has requested an interim bout against former IBF champ Tavoris Cloud in September but the WBC will only grant this if all parties are contracted to the Tony Bellew fight which must happen within 90 days of their bout.

blackrican23 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Isnt Cloud the more dangerous fight certainly not an average interim bout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrican23 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I agree is this a money thing? where does Bellew /Stevenson take place? is HBO pushing to get the Cloud fight and Stevenson looking payday ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBF OG Neil_ Posted July 8, 2013 WBF OG Share Posted July 8, 2013 id rather see him face cloud than bellend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slayer Posted July 8, 2013 Members Share Posted July 8, 2013 id rather see him face cloud than bellend But its gonna be a nice warmup for Stevenson, a preparation for Cloud. I reckon it won't last more than 5-6 rounds...7 tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrican23 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 that's the thing Stevenson isn't giving Bellew home field , and surely Quebec isn't excited for that fight. I think Adonis would go across the pond after getting some HBO money with Cloud , who isn't as easy a payday as this caveman thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mofo2 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Froch is a gimp, he's fighting Groves next apparentlyWard won't back up his mouth and come to he UK and Froch doesn't need to travel to he US so Andre can have his comfort blanket home advantage, thats where the trouble lies....Groves ain't ideal but he is a good fighter and just happens to be mandatory!

Members Slayer Posted July 15, 2013 Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 nope, just don't like Froch's attitude, guys an absolute wanker Co-sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Confident but fair for me, he gives credit when it's due but doesn't under sell himself, just the way most quality fighters have always been over the years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
