      I think Loma will go for Kambosos in Australia. He had a large fan base over there from what I heard, so

      1. He makes a lot of money (maybe the most) by fighting there;

      2. He clears some of the stink left by the Lopez fight

      3. And he’ll likely stop Kambosos, which will also make Haney look bad because Devin, no matter what he did, couldn’t even drop Kambosos.

        He would be wise to take a tune up or two. Age and inactivity are a bad combination, especially when you're already small for the weight. With that against him , being rusty too makes for a lot to overcome, especially against a really good opponent.

          Boxing purists appreciate boxing skills. The rest prefer caveman fighting brawls or drunken bar brawls.

            Good bet. Loma vs George has felt like the worst kept secret in boxing for mos now. And its only a matter of time before Devin starts losing more belts so seem very likely its for a belt.

              Oh, stop. Lomachenko is beloved and is all about his skills. Usyk is completely respected, even by his critics, and he bar brawls no one at HW, ever. He is all punching angles and defense. Those of us who love the lighter divisions (say below super featherweight) do because of the amazing high level of skill shown at the pace they fight.

              Stevenson is talented as all get out and is just a dull watch. It is a legit criticism. If you like him, defend him. But just insulting people by trying to say they are beneath you because those who love the combat sport of boxing generally prefer boxers who actually take part in the combat to prove your point is silly.

                Shakur didn’t show much skill in that fight. Other than jabbing and running.

                  Lol! Well yeah, that would be great but maybe you should talk that over with Tank first.

                    Why the f would he need a tune up for George kambosos? Dude is a tune-up, a tune-up that will most likely come with a belt. That's good business, and Loma doesn't have time left, the longer he waits the worse these young guys gain an advantage on him

                      You enjoy an game a tag, If you want to see Shakur. That was no fight at all. Shakur needs to stick the Olympics fencing and track.
