This is a tough, tough ask for Tony Bellew - but, dare I say it, there are already similarities with what we all saw last weekend.
Power
That alone suggests Bellew can knock this guy out and away from home it is the only certain way of winning, but I wouldn't go for it. In my view he needs to mix it up: get the jab going, break him down and then bring the power punches into play.
Bellew need to get a convincing points victory or a knockout if he is going to do it, but that is easier said than done. Stevenson used to be a super-middleweight that was moved up because he could bang, but in two fights he has become a superstar at light-heavy.
Blasting out Dawson was one thing but against Cloud he looked so at home, so comfortable, and such an established world champion.
Canada have already taken to him so let's see if Bellew can can upset the odds and be the latest underdog who has impressed him - and let's hope this one wins the world title.
I would love to see him knock Stevenson out, because that is the best bet. I don't think anyone goes in there looking to do just that because that leads to mistakes.
But it is so similar to Groves that I want to see Bellew land a big shot, preferable a right, early on. Two in the first round would be even better! He has to show the champion he can't do what he wants.
You have to say that Stevenson is the favourite and I think there is too much in his favour for Bellew to come home with a world title. I am not sure he is going to get knocked out, but I just can't see him springing a surprise.
Mind you, we were all shocked last Saturday!
