Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson: "If Me and Lomachenko Fight, I'm a Wash Him"

[Kzbox]

Never seen a fighter as hyped up as Shakur based on pretty much nothing yes he's a good fighter but people saying he's gonna wash Haney and all this are just talking pure gas Shakur hasn't proven that at this stage "the eye test though" we will see in time.

[Hype job]

Damn Stevenson is 26.

Shakur needs more fights, all the top dogs will wash him, even Pitbull and Haney will beat Shakur.

This clown keeps talking about what he would do to Kambosos, Loma, Tank, Haney...but keeps pricing himself out of fights or making excuses. Time to put up or shut up. Take the 25% Haney offered and challenge him for undisputed titles.

Loma outclassed a guy 15 lbs heavier in his last fight and your takeaway is he gets embarrassed by a guy whose best wins are Valdez and Herring?

You are being too much of a fan to think logically. Loma definitely didn't outclass Haney last month. He received empathy and credit because he made it a close fight, when initially most thought the bigger, younger guy would dominate him.

Loma mostly fought in spurts, throwing 6 punch combinations and only landing one punch. He only had 2 rounds where he actually landed effective blows, and did nothing to follow up in the crucial 12th round. Devin had the more consistent offense, even though he didn't look good either. Haney switched in between the jab, countering with straight rights, and a steady body attack.

He showed far too much respect by not going for the kill, and just trying to stack up rounds for the decision, which allowed the fight to be close. Shakur won't give Loma that type of respect, he's coming to dominate him. Stevenson won championships at 126 and 130, where he unified. I don't understand why you are trying to question his resume, it makes no sense.

"According to the 26-year-old, fighters such as Isaac Cruz, George Kambosos Jr., and William Zepeda turned the other way when team Stevenson approached them with a fight offer."

It's not just "according to the 26 year old..." The WBC went down the list and those fighters didn't want no smoke! I just hope Devin Haney accepts the challenge, or we get Lomachenko! George Kambosos is TRASH!

Haney will never fight Shakur or Loma. He knows who he can’t beat. He only took the Loma fight cause he thought it was going to be easy cause Loma is old and small.

Shakur called out Loma, and Loma said he had unfinished business with Haney. So if Haney is going to 140, then there should be no reason we don't get Shakur vs. Loma! I see a lot of posters who say Shakur is overrated, but if Shakur chose Muratalla or Jamaine Ortiz, then they would say he's scared of Loma and Haney! Only opponents Shakur should fight are Haney, Loma, and Tank!

Haney beat Loma. Get over it, will you? If Loma is so sure about himself let him step in the ring with Shakur. Haney might only fight Tank for the big payday and then move up.

He landed more effective blows than Haney in 2, 3, 6-11. Didn't you see all the head snapping lefts in 7-9 in particular? There was a combination in round 3 where he landed 4/4. A six punch combination in round 9 where he landed 4/6. When Loma got Haney on the ropes and threw combinations, he landed most of his punches. Where do people get this idea that Loma missed most of them?

Haney wasn't landing much at all. And how was he more consistent? It's not like he was throwing meaningfully more. Might have actually been throwing less. Haney did less than Loma, landed less. But because he threw his punches one at a time instead of in combination, people think he was more consistent. It's nonsensical.

Beating Joet Gonzalez does not impress me. Herring is a solid win, Valdez is a very good win. But an 8-4 win over Valdez hardly means you dominate Loma.

Haney has already fought and beat Loma. Get over it. I don't think Loma dares to fight Shakur for he might be embarrassed.
