Comments Thread For: Report: Kambosos To Defend Lightweight Titles June 5 In Melbourne, Lomachenko Frontrunner

[jackkeane6]

Get the feeling this will become a bait and switch. It's gone from Kambo fighting Haney,to Ryan and now to Loma. Think they're fishing for offers and testing the waters first while they take a tune up in Australia which would be the smart move imo.

Wonder why MP isn't attempting to make that fight for Tank as he's the only one that doesn't look to be in the picture?

because Kambosas isn’t a bum?

More fool whoever takes this fight for getting the murder jabs to fight in that ****hole

not sure what you don’t get but being an Olympic medalist shouldn’t have anything to do with where professional title organizations rank you. That’s just ******. It was entitlement, end of story. I’m not hating, you’re just a loma d1k rider. If you recall, there were several pro boxers who voiced their displeasure about loma getting a shot so early and many reached out to support salido as a result. It was unfair to get that type of favoritism. As far as this current situation, I’m a boxing fan who thinks it’s better for younger fighters to make a bigger name for themselves and think that benefits boxing more than loma getting to cut the line yet again over a fighter that has been waiting for his shot. Haney should have a chance to truly earn a title, and not be emailed one because entitled guys like loma ask for the franchise title in order to get preferential treatment over all other champs and not deal with mandatories.

He had nothing to do with it, he beat a RANKED FIGHTER in his first pro fight that’s why he was ranked and eligible for a title fight. Are you f***ing slow or something? I’ve literally told you this multiple times.

Loma isn’t cutting in line, he isn’t entitled, he’s literally earned everything in the ring. Name any fighter in history with a deeper resume at 20 fights? There isn’t one.

Your bias is making you completely delusional and you seem to be the only guy I’ve seen who has a problem with Kambosos vs Loma. It’s #1 vs #2, what’s not to like?

So the logic is fight in the country that had a failed coup and holds the record for the most incarcerated and homeless people per capita ...and fight for peanuts.

Seems like people in those 3rd world **** hole countries don't likes peanuts as much as we do.

Question, how do you feel about Canelo turning down a fight with David Benavidez for upwards of 50 million to fight anyone else for much, much less?

The only fight that matters at lightweight is undisputed: Kambosos vs Devin Haney.

Just like Lomachenko (petitioned WBC for franchise belt instead of satisfying WBC mandatory with Haney), Ryan Garcia (fought WBC eliminator to fight Haney then ran) and Teofimo Lopez (fought Kambosos instead of making history with Haney), Kambosos is missing out on a golden opportunity to become only the 7th WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO undisputed champion in boxing.

If he's a real champion, he'll step up to the Haney challenge. If not, he'll avoid him, and do what every other lightweight has done when faced with a Haney fight they aren't sure they're going to win. Take the safer route and pretend it's a better fight.

I don't want to go off on a rant here but....

First off.... throughout history winning at the Olympics and Golden Gloves most certainly, ABSOLUTELY guaranteed a boxer a better seat at the table. That's just indisputable fact.

I realize that you are young but for your own sake check look up Olympians and you'll find Ray Lenard, George Foreman and that other guy Muhammad Ali.

Check them out, you'll come away with an entirely new understanding.

whether or not he vacated after, it would’ve provided a unified champion. Who cares what happened afterwards? You say dumb belts are want Haney and tank use to seem relevant, then why is it that loma chased a title in his 2nd pro fight and is chasing them again? He’s chasing kambosos for the belts and no other reason.

I didn't say all belts are dumb. I said dumb belts are dumb.

Email belts are dumb, for instance.

Whatever Tank has is dumb.

Doesn't Andrade have something too? I can't keep track of it all. But if he does, it's dumb. And if it has historically been a worthwhile title or belt, then it won't be relevant to me until he either starts fighting decent fights (which he won't) or gets beat and a hungry, active fighter holds it instead.

Some belts and titles are just there to give an audience to these self-styled club fighters.

IMO a belt is only worth as much as its holder has risked to keep it. Exclamation point.

how is it that he had nothing to do with it when he was actually asking for a title shot in his first pro fight and arum told him, that’s not possible but I can pull strings to get you one in your second. It’s entitlement ya tard.

I know winning the Olympics gets you some benefits as a pro. You get more exposure which the leads to more money and more opportunities. But a title shot your 2nd pro fight? None of those guys you mentioned got that type of favoritism. That was extreme
