Tony Bellew can't take Adonis Stevenson for granted, says Glenn McCrory

Adonis Stevenson took Chad Dawson's world title away in a minute on Saturday night.

Achievement

If anyone was surprised by Youri Gamboa's lethargic win on the same card, don't be. Yes, he has a great record and yes, Darleys Perez's record was a bit padded but believe me, it was a typical performance from a Cuban boxer in my opinion! Yes Gamboa won, but did he go for broke? Did he go flat out? Did he want to show the likes of Adrian Broner and Ricky Burns he means business? Of course not! That's not what Cuban boxers are about. I trained three Cubans myself, I have spent plenty of time over there and it is a country I love - and know inside out. As a nation in a communist environment, Cuba has nothing to do with achievement, so the likes of Gamboa lack the drive because it's not instilled in them. It's not part of the Cuban psychology, so that explains why we only saw him in brief flashes, in the first half of the fight.

Class

Finally, I have to be honest and say I missed James DeGale at Bluewater, but I did read his remarks earlier in the week when he said he would end Carl Froch's career! Well, there is nothing like confidence and I am not surprised that both he and George Groves want to take on the very best. But let's be honest, Froch is a step up in class right now and he won't be around forever, so I would rather see those two take over when the time is right. But I can't criticise DeGale or Groves because I remember when I was a young upstart and was calling out a certain Mike Tyson! Well, all I got from him was some sparring. That was brilliant, but believe me, that was hard enough! There is a lesson there...
