Even if he wins the the 12th, the cards were stacked such that the titles would have remained with Haney. Cheers!

:beerchug: cheers to you too but Loma didn't know that. He didn't finish the fight. He fought till the end of the 11th. There is no excuse stop telling me about the cards and tell me why on earth he didn't finish the fight to the final bell. He may have got the knockout. Who knows now , maybe the body shots he took caught up to him , either way that fight was in his hands. cheers
Loma doubted himself in the 12th and allowed Haney to steal the victory from jaws of defeat. There is no excuse, Loma had a conclusive 11th round and should have finished of Haney in the 12th but let me tell you what happened. Loma got flashbacks of the Teo fight where he pushed in the 12th and nearly got himself knocked out. If it’s not that what challenger do you know in the history of boxing is fighting to become undisputed in a close fight and decides he will take of the 12th round and still feels his performance warrants gaining all the belts from the champion. Go out and leave it all in the ring . That’s why he was crying backstage because his son called and told him on the phone “ you are an idiot”

Stevenson vs Tank Davis should be the fight fans should be clamoring for. Same height, nearly same skillset. It should not be so hard to make since Davis is no longer with Mayweather.
You are correct. But I hear no clamoring from Tank nor his minions.
A much better chance that Loma would answer the call if it becomes apparent he'll get no Haney rematch
I will never doubt Loma. I didn't vs Haney and I won't now.

I won't be surprised if Stevenson/Lomachenko is the "big" fight Arum is referring to as Shakur's next fight. It might also be Jamaine Ortiz, who knows?
Why not? Majority thought he beat Haney.
It’s a tough test for Shakur
It’s a tough test for Loma. I feel Shakur handles him easily although I wouldnt mind seeing Shakur wig getting pushed back. He has done a lot of talking lately so the result of this fight whoever wins is a win win for me.
Much more likely we'll see Loma accept that fight than the face of boxing

Bob had the WBO on lock. While you make valid points, I think Bob is going to operate in a way to gain as much control of LW that he can, especially with Tank as the money man.
Ok, maybe that works. But does anyone really want to see Kambosos v Shakur?
You're spot on. Aside from probably Shakur's handlers, because they know he'll likely 12-0 him and possibly get a KD which Haney couldn't over two fights. However, I just can't see a route to Loma-Kambosos for a title, it's not out there. Unless Kambo mysteriously jumps 11 places in the WBO off the Hughes win it isn't happening.
The control would definitely be in a WBO/WBC vacant unified title fight between Shakur and Loma and trying to sign Lemos to a deal off the back of the IBF title fight - then you've got the three-belt unification. Tank will likely have been elevated to full WBA champion at that point following extremely tough defences against Chris Colbert or the "Pitbull".
Lomachenko wants the titles. I think he'll pursue and hold out for a Haney rematch before considering Shakur. The problem for Shakur is that he is high risk and low reward. If Loma is going to take that type of risk it'll be for titles or a bigger payday.
Translation I'm a race cheering pos
You're projecting. This is exactly why you don't want Stevenson vs Lomachenko. You're not a boxing fan. You're just a racist troll and a worthless poster with nothing to contribute. Carry on with your miserable life.
I think Shakur beats Haney and Loma. But i don't agree with not accepting that 25 offer. He just blew the chance of 4 belts undisputed and ring in just 1 fight. Now it's going to be a while and lot more effort to collect them all again once they go vacant
Can't see Loma fighting again. His main goal was to be undisputed and he straight up got robbed. Also he's in his mid 30s that probably was as good as he was gonna be .
Translation: I don't want to see Lomachenko lose to Stevenson.
Not sure how they can make Loma-Kambosos for a belt, if Kambosos wants a belt they'll have to fight Lemos, Kambosos-Hughes was an IBF eliminator and he's not well ranked in other governing bodies. I think Loma gets recognition already as the guy who beat Haney in the eyes of many.
Could Loma-Shakur be for the vacant WBC and WBO titles? Ready made unification after that against Kambosos-Lemos winner for the IBF if needs be.
