Things went according to plan late Saturday night in Quebec City as the light heavyweight division edged closer to the fight that everyone wants. After Sergey Kovalev delivered a two-round shellacking of Ismayl Sillakh to retain his belt, Adonis Stevenson had to deliver the goods in his title defense against Britain’s Tony Bellew to ensure HBO and promoters Yvon Michel and Main Events walked away with smiles on their faces. Bellew -- who talked a good game, as he always does -- had brought up Stevenson’s anger at a fiery weigh-in, but unfortunately the fuel to that fire was extinguished in six rounds with a confident performance and conclusive stoppage from the champion.
