Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Seeks New Opponent For WBC Lightweight Title Fight; Frank Martin Out

[Eff Pandas]

Too bad--Martin might have been a problem for Shakur.

I've not been as impressed by Frank as many. Seems kinda overhyped. Didn't hate the fight tho just thought it was gonna be a fairly uneventful Shakur Wu12.

Supposedly EDLS is on the short list of replacement opps. He's a lil more interesting cuz he gots nice power, but idk that there is anyone at 135 I'd favor over Shakur including Tank & Devin & Tank & Devin are kinda the only fights I really have a lot of interest in seeing Shakur fight at 135.

Sux for Shakur

Pathetic! frank martin is a joke! al hymie doesn't want another one of his fighters taking a loss from a Top Rank fighter!!!! The p in pbc stands for protected not premier.

[Hitmonchan]

Jeez mane , I thought this was a done deal .Fight made sense for both fighters so ofcourse they say fck it .

frank martin and frank martin alone is the one that said fck it. martin pulled out. he knows he can't beat shakur. shakur deserves none of the blame.

What the hell…I was looking forward to this fight. F you Frank!

One things for sure, NOBODY’S beating this kid anytime soon (not even Tank). Generational talent.

Agree. I think Tank is the guy I'd give the best chance to beat Shakur, but I'd pick Shakur to beat anyone at 135-140 rn. I think it only gets interesting at 147 for him & thats far off enough its not really worth speculating too hard about & who knows what a 12lb bigger Shakur fights/looks like.

We should sue boxingscene and its parent company cbs for false advertising. Do they not know what “done deal” means? Smfh now from now one these fighters are gonna say they came to an agreement right before the purse bid and then cancel everything and nobody gets in trouble

[Kpmaryland]

Business messes up the sport but will anyone step up to this? We think if they were confident they would take the opportunity for this title and be better set for future fights? I wanted to see what Martin could do

[Clegg]

Most avoided fighter in the sport.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Pbc couldn't afford for another one of there black fighters to get exposed.

Nobody’s making any money off Frank Martin. Stop it.
