Or, lets wait for the MR fanboys to start screaming about "PBC island" and how Haymon doesn't let his fighters go anywhere when we've just recently seen Fulton, Porter and now Frank go over to TR and ESPN>

Im prertty sure they are OK sending Shakur to fight Tank on PBC, but does Tank take the fight. Hell No.


Where is the offer and when has Gervonta ask to fight Shakur?

Haymon had nothing to do with the foolton fight. Inoue offered him the most money he'll ever make so he took it. That simple boy

[boxingitis]

Sure I'll show you. Tank, De los santos, Cruz, Valenzuela just to name for. While TR only has Shakur and Loma at 135. Did you see that?

Tank should send Shakur an offer.

Fast Forward: Shakur beats Frank and Tank Davis gets a pass for refusing to fight Shakur because he's Mexican.

Still doesn't mean fights are still easy to make bro. Spence admitted, "PBC want me to fight other fighters."

There's also Haney and Teo Lopez who are no longer with Arum. On paper PBC would be rushing to make offers to Haney and Lopez for Tank Davis. Yet it's not happening. Any idea why?

They "wanted him" to do that because of Crawford's demands, however Crawford DID SIGN, and the fight DID HAPPEN! I believe PBC wants Tank vs. Pitbull Cruz II. I don't like it, because I think Pitbull chose easy fights, waiting on Tank, at least "much easier" fights than Frank "The Ghost!" When Pitbull had the chance to fight Shakur, he SWERVED! When Frank Martin had the chance to fight Shakur, he signed the deal! I guess they love that Tank vs. The Latino angle???

Why did Haney choose to go after Prograis, instead of Teo?

Shakur Stevenson Vs Frank Martin All Agreed For Vacant WBC 135 Pound Title

Fans can now officially look forward to a clash of unbeaten southpaw technicians going to battle for the vacant WBC lightweight title. Keith Idec has reported how Shakur Stevenson and Frank Martin have agreed terms to fight, this after their fight was ordered by the WBC, the two sides coming to terms just before a scheduled purse bid. According to Mike Coppinger, the fight will either take place on November 16 in Las Vegas, or on December 9 in New York.

Whatever the location, this is a good fight, a good and interesting match up. Stevenson, 20-0(10) and Martin, 18-0(12) will fight for the WBC belt Devin Haney has vacated. For some folks, this fight will present the seemingly very special Stevenson with his toughest test to date. Martin has looked special himself at times, such as when he was beating Jackson Marinez and Michel Rivera. Last time out, however, Martin had plenty of trouble beating Artem Harutunyan via decision, this in a WBC eliminator.

Stevenson, who has claimed belts at 126 and 130 and has had just one fight at 135, this a pretty straightforward stoppage win over a game but outclassed Shuichiro Yoshino in what was his most recent fight, now aims to take over at lightweight. Fans know how high a bar of expectation Stevenson has set himself and this fight could give us an idea as to whether or not he can reach them.

Credit also goes to both sides for agreeing a deal – Stevenson being with Top Rank and Martin being with TGB Promotions. Plenty of people did feel a purse bids battle would be needed here, but no.

We’ve been treated to some genuine best vs. the best fights this year – such as Terence Crawford-Errol Spence and Naoya Inoue-Stephen Fulton – and now these two young and unbeaten studs will give us another fight that will be well worth tuning in for.

Is Stevenson your pick to win this one, or can Martin spoil Shakur’s lofty plans?

EXCELLENT fight...full respect to Frank Martin for stepping up and putting his '0' on the line against arguably the future p4p #1.

[lred00]

Props to Top Rank and PBC for getting this fight signed, sealed, and delivered. Can't Wait!

[JT$615]

Wow this is huge. I can't wait for this. I have Shakur winning but Frank is a monster.

He sure didn’t look like a monster in his last fight.

Frank is crazy overrated. About to get washed to save Tank the embarrassment.
