MONTREAL -- Adonis Stevensons has an approach to fighting much taller opponents -- the bigger they come, the harder they fall. Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Baratas . The 36-year-old Montreal fighter will put that to the test in the second defence of his World Boxing Council light heavyweight title when he faces six-foot-three Englishman Tony Bellow on Nov. 30 at the Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City. "I fought Chad Dawson, who is six foot three. He go down," the five-foot-10 Stevenson said Thursday. "I fought Aaron Pryor (Jr.), who was six-foot-five. He go down. "It doesnt matter." The two fighters and their promoters held news conferences in Quebec City and Montreal to announce the bout. The co-feature will be another light heavyweight title clash between hard-hitting Russian Sergey Kovalev (22-0-1), the World Boxing Organization champion, and Ismayl Sillakh (21-1) of Ukraine. The bouts are to be aired on the U.S. specialty channel HBO. The southpaw Stevenson (22-1, 19 knockouts), the only Canadian with a world title from one of the major sanctioning bodies, has become one of the rising stars of boxing with his devastating punching power. He won the WBC belt and The Ring magazine title as linear champion with a thundering left hook only 76 seconds into his bout with Dawson in June. He followed that on Sept. 28. by pounding former IBF champ Tavoris Cloud so badly that the challenger quit after seven rounds. Bellew was in the Bell Centre audience for that one. Bellew (20-1-1) became mandatory challenger with a 12-round decision over Isaac Chilemba in May. The Liverpool native, who will be fighting on his 31st birthday, felt Dawson took Stevenson lightly and that Cloud went in unprepared. He said he wont make those mistakes. "I dont believe he has fought someone as hungry, someone who will show him that much respect and someone who will come with a game plan," said Bellew. "I dont think he wants to fight a six-foot-three guy who can box. "Its a bit of a danger for him." Bellew is a former Commonwealth champion who lost a previous world title attempt by majority decision to WBO champ Nathan Cleverly in Liverpool in 2011. He has won five fights in a row since then. He will perform outside England for the first time, but says hes looking forward to it. "Ive wanted to do this my whole career," he said. "I sell 10,000 seats easily in Liverpool. "That brings huge pressure. Ive always wanted to get away and do something not many from my home town have done." Bellew respects Stevensons power, but disputes the comparisons with former heavyweight great and knockout artist Mike Tyson the Canadian has drawn. "Hes kidding a lot of people," he said. "After the Dawson fight, people have him down as some sort of Mike Tyson. "Hes the total opposite. Hes an out and out counter puncher. He fights off fear. He doesnt want to get hit. Hes felt what it likes to be knocked out. Thats something Ive never felt." Stevensons only loss was by second-round knockout in 2010 to journeyman Darnell Boone, who was 16-15-2 at the time. Not long after, Stevenson, a one-dimension boxer, was taken under the wing of legendary trainer Emanuel Steward to add some technique to his power. Steward died last year of an intestinal disorder, but his nephew Javan (Sugar) Hill has kept the same program. Stevensons skills are noticeably better, but it is still the stunning force of his blows that win his fights. Many opponents have gone in confident they can outbox him until they take the first hammer-like shot. "Im under no illusions," said Bellew. "This is the top level. "Hes the man of the moment with HBO. Theyve labelled him the new Tyson. Hes this, hes that. But just for a second, look past all the hype and look deeper into the record. If you look, I aint facing Superman. Hes been knocked out by a journeyman. If Darnell Boone can do it, so can I." Its been just two months between fights for Stevenson, so he will have little break from heavy training. Fatigue may be a factor. Stevenson said he just wants to get the mandatory defence out of the way so he can concentrate on bigger bouts in 2014. "My last fight, I didnt get hit," he said. "Thats why I took this fight. I just want to finish with that, but after that Im going to have a good break." Promoter Yvon Michel said that if Stevenson wins, his next fight is not likely to be a unification bout with Kovalev, who may end up facing Jean Pascal. Pascal is to fight Lucian Bute in a long-anticipated showdown between former world champions from Montreal on January 18 at the Bell Centre. Adidas NMD R1 Mujer Baratas . In the opening game of his fourth-round match at the U.S. Open, the owner of 17 major titles got passed at the net twice, sailed a backhand long, then missed two forehands to get broken.

On Monday night, many fans in this city placed the blame squarely on the captain for his role in the James Neal overtime winner against the Pittsburgh Penguins.INDIANAPOLIS - Paul George is getting back on his feet.Less than two months after sustaining a gruesome compound fracture of his right leg, team doctors have cleared the Pacers two-time All-Star to put weight on his injured leg and begin upper body work in the weight room.Hes down to one crutch or no crutches, coach Frank Vogel said Thursday at the teams annual golf outing near Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For the past three or four weeks, hes been doing core work, upper body work in the weight room, and they want him to put weight on it.Thats good news for George, who still hopes to beat the odds and return to the team later this season. Team doctors have told George while its likely hell make a full recovery, it may take 12 months.He was injured during a U.S. national team scrimmage Aug. 1 in Las Vegas when his leg snapped after colliding with a basketball stanchion. George told reporters last month that doctors placed pins in his knee and ankle to stabilize a rod that was inserted into the injured leg, which was broken in two places but did not damage any ligaments, tendons, joints or nerves. Three days later, he returned to his suburban Indianapolis home.Over the past several weeks, Georges workload has been ramping up. He could soon become more involved with his teammates -- many of whom have been working out in Indianapolis before training camp opens Tuesday. Some have seen or spoken with George regularly.Hes doing great, said free-agent signee C.J. Miles, who will help fill the scoring void. Hes in there every day lifting. It just shows his character and who he is, a guy who will do whatever he can to help his team win.Vogel knows having George around will provide inspiration for the team, and other players such as All-Star centre Roy Hibbert, power forward David West and point guard George Hill will be motivated to disprove those predicting gloom for the two-time Eastern Conference runner-ups in Georges absence.Vogel believes his 24-year-old star can provide help from the bench. Adidas Ozweego España. Ive given him a clipboard to chart deflections and contested shots. We cant just let him sit around, Vogel said. Any time you have an opportunity to observe the game or your team or your system, I think it helps you grow your understanding of everything.It could help turn George into an even better player when he returns. After this tumultuous off-season, theres plenty George can learn.Hes missing friend and teammate Lance Stephenson, who signed with Charlotte in free agency; been involved in a paternity hearing and made the headlines this month after using his Twitter account to opine about former NFL star Ray Rice and domestic violence.George later deleted the offensive tweets and posted an apology, saying he didnt intend to downplay the situation.Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird responded a few hours after Georges initial posts with a statement that called the comments thoughtless and without regard to the subject of domestic violence and its seriousness in society.George also issued a second apology, and Vogel said team officials have spoken with George about using social media.Larry talked to him a lot about it and Ive talked to him a little about it, said Vogel, without elaborating.The immediate concern is making sure George gets healthy -- and figuring out how to replace Indianas best all-around player. George averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season, earning his first All-Star start and a first-team selection on the NBAs all-defensive team.While the Pacers did receive a disabled player exemption, it didnt give the Pacers any salary cap relief and Bird has repeatedly said he wont go over the luxury-tax threshold.That means the roster is pretty much set. But Vogel isnt fretting.I think this has been my approach every year, whether youre a front-runner or an underdog, Vogel said. We have everything we need to compete at the highest level. ' ' '
