Why is Loma ducking Shakur?

[Floyd is TBE]

Loma don't want the smoke. Funny how the war didn't stop him from fighting Haney, but now he's worried about Ukraine when it's Stevenson's turn. Really pathetic display from Loma. He shouldn't get a free pass for his blatant ducking. I guess Loma will only fight if Bob gives him more unearned title shots.

[Southpawology]

Probably killed all his motivation to fight in the US after getting robbed

[Boxing 112]

It stopped him taking an easy fight for undisputed against Kambosos so it's believable if you follow what is going on there not just the mainstream media. Ukraine getting f up even with the billions ***** sends every week

[jqSide]

Nothing worse than Tank ducking Loma for years.

[IronDanHamza]

High risk low reward.

Coming off a fight he felt hard done by, with majority thinking he won.

Hard to blame him. If he'd got the decision he may have taken it.

[Spray_resistant]

He isn't a current world champion, and an elder statesman of the 135lb division, I'm fine with him picking and choosing fights at this point he's earned it since he's in the later stages of his career. Shakur just might have to go the route of traveling collecting interim or regular belts against obscure opponents then unifying.

Because Shakur has better skills than Haney and none of the belts.

Imagine beating Shakur and taking his 0 and you have no belts to show for it. Nah. Lomachenko isn't some gatekeeper.

Likely we get Lomachenko-Kambosis, maybe for one of the vacant titles. Maybe the winner and Stevenson end up meeting for some or all of the belts later.

Fight makes zero sense right now.

Loma vs Shakur would be for the wbc.

Kambosos vs Loma wouldn't be for anything

[Hustle]

Loma knows that a loss to Shakur ends his run at espn. 3 losses to the youngsters ends him at the top.


Loma is gonna fight a bum next, then Inoue at 130 next summer

[Roadblock]

I think a lot of guys are not rushing into Shakur, he is in a similar place as boots, nobody willing to step in so they get marketed out of fights. very high risk and no big reward in terms of the odds favor the risk will happen and they lose, they both need to get a big fight with a top guy.
