Comments Thread For: Where does Lamont Roach Jnr go from here?

[BoxingUpdates]

In lieu of a rematch with Gervonta Davis, Roach could aim for WBC lightweight titleholder Shakur Stevenson or answer a challenge from prospect Curmel Moton.

He deserves a big fight and a big payday in lieu of the win stolen from him.

hes not the first & wont be the last to get shafted by some A Side pampered diva, i hope he gets a rematch at some point but i wouldnt bet on it happening

He should fight Tommy Fury on the Paul/Davis undercard. Barring that i suspect he goes back into obscurity...much like Agit Kabayel or Bruno Surace. All those guys were brought in to lose and the fact they pulled upsets only ruined their appeal to promotors. In the boxing business of today...you should never make the moneymaking stars look bad.

He should fight that Mayweather kid, Russell, Frank Martin or Stevenson

[TheIronMike]

I would pivot into a Frank Martin fight for a potential showcase. Then a stevenson fight

Just commented that Kaybel should’ve signed with Queensbury or Matchroom lest he be condemned to be an “opponent” for the rest of his career. Just checked and he’s actually with Frank Warren now.

Hope he doesn’t just sit on him like he did with Joe Joyce for a while after he beat Dubois. Kabayel should be getting built up as a giant slayer being the first to have stopped Zhang, Makhmudov and Sanchez back-to-back.

I agree....but i get the sense he signed him to keep him away from the titles. While Kabayel should be the one of the hottest contenders out there....i think he will be put out as the guy who keeps the euro hopefuls at bay while they try to keep the UK heavyweight scene from floundering its way back to regional title fights.

Well it looks like Shakur is going to make a deal to fight Fight Teofimo Lopez @ 140, so Roach can either make the fight with Gary Antuanne Russell @ 140, or fight Floyd Schofield @ 135. Schofield is currently WBA #1, so maybe they can make that a Championship fight for Tank's Belt, or an Interim belt? WBA loves Interim Belts!

yeah great theory, he is just signed so a master plan to save other boxers and more is put in place just to keep him out of the way LOL hilarious

u do realise of course that kabayal is from germany it says on his wiki page
