Comments Thread For: Gonzalez: Stevenson's Not Champ; Why Fight In His Hometown?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Joet Gonzalez made some demands during negotiations for his upcoming featherweight title fight against Shakur Stevenson. Among the things Gonzalez wasn't willing to do was fight Stevenson in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Stevenson's last fight took place July 13 at Prudential Center in Newark, but Gonzalez saw no reason to afford Stevenson a home-ring advantage.

The desire to not fight in Newark is 100% understandable. Stevenson will be happy to win this in Reno.

Not at all as familiar with Gonzalez as I am with Shakur. What are his realistic chances?

I'm ready for Stevenson, Haney, Tank, Ry Garcia & Teofimo to graduate from fighting bums & up the competition. Put all 5 of their resumes together and you'd be pressed to find anyone worth a damn. These guys have been babied long enough.

You don't think Teofimo's last was a decent step up? Other than this I concur

Pretty sure Arum had to concede to the location since the fight is going to be on ESPN+ and not DAZN. It's not really a big deal. If you're the superior fighter, you should be able to win anywhere.

Not really a step up imo the fight was just a little harder than expected.

Even if it was a step up it wasn't much. Outta all the guys these new cats have faced, Pedraza is the only opponent that sticks out and we see he's not elite
