Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson-Robson Conceicao WBC Title Fight Set For September 23 In Newark

Bob Arum refused to entertain the idea of Shakur unifying the division by fighting the other “unknown” belt holders. He said they weren’t known names nor did they bring anything to the table. Even though those fights would be for all the marbles before Shakur moves up to 135 inevitably.

Boxing would be much better off when this old senile geezer kicks the “gloves”.

Why would it change? All the promoters do it. When has PBC done a unification with another promoter? How about Goldenboy? DAZN?

Solid fight, probably the best, reasonable option right now for Shakur. Stevenson gets a homecoming and maybe they can get some of the Brazilian contingent in NYC to come out

And also a lot of Brazilians live in Newark.

If other promoters aren’t doing it, it’s no different from Arum.
We’ve seen unifications at 168, 140, and soon 175, & 135.

More important, Bob says those unification fights for Shakur are meaningless YET this one is meaningful? How?
