Comments Thread For: Arum Predicts Stevenson Will Have Lightweight Title Shot "Soon" Once Haney Vacates

[hitmanjosh]

yeah god forbid they fight each other for the title, just wait until haney vacates then he can fight some bum for the vacant title, then everyone can be a "champion" and "keep their 0"

they wonder why boxing viewership is at an all time low

Exactly!

I can't believe people would really want to see this fight! Maybe people like seeing one guy throw 60 **** punches and the other guy clinch 70 plus times.

I'm confused. he is talking Loma fights Haney, how can Haney vacate? It is either Bob believes Loma is loosing that fight, or fight is not happening

[Mammoth]

Wouldn’t it be better for him to just face Haney next?

I think the Ortiz fight proved Loma is cooked at this point and it’s not like Shakur needs a tune up at 135.

Haney vs Stevenson is the fight to make IMO.

Bob is gonna Juanma-Gamboa us with these two undefeated fighters.

Loma didn't look cooked against Commey or Nakatani

He means if Haney wins loma he vacates. Haney aint staying at 135 more than 1 fight (loma) have u seem his face looks like a skeleton at that weight

It’s either because they stood in front of him or it’s happened very quickly, probably a combination of both. His athleticism has clearly declined, it can happen overnight with athletic fighters, look how quick it happened to Roy for example at around 35. There’s no way he’ll be able to close the gap vs Haney. Loma needs to go to 130.

I think he had a hard time with Ortiz and lost to Lopez for the same reason, the young guys can match his athleticism. He looks just like Loma when he isn't fighting someone young.

I think he’s noticeably lost a step. Not surprising considering how long he’s boxed amateur and pro. I thought we saw flashes in the later rounds of the Lopez fight but I thought he looked terrible vs Ortiz. I think that would have been a pretty routine fight for him 3-4 years ago. I think Haney beats Loma easily now tbh, I just don’t see Loma getting past the jab.
