Comments Thread For: Arum Doesn't Want Stevenson To Vacate Title Unless He Knows He's Staying At 130

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shakur Stevenson will make his debut at the junior lightweight limit when he opposes Puerto Rico's Felix Caraballo on June 9 in Las Vegas. Stevenson's promoter wants him to wait, however, before deciding whether to vacate the WBO featherweight title. The 22-year-old southpaw told BoxingScene.com last month that he would relinquish his 126-pound crown if he couldn't secure a title unification fight against England's Josh Warrington next.

A fight in UK with Warrington is as unappealing as it gets for me.. I like Josh and Ive been chomping at the bit for him to follow his boxing dreams and go try crack America. Personally I don't think it's the benchmark it used to be but He's been ****ing on about it for years yet still ends up back in the UK, more notably in his hometown..

I totally get it's most likely where the money is at for him at the minute and with the sounds of it Arum doesn't fancy a big crowd turning out over in the states to generate the money they all want...

Stevenson needs to start trading more. His past fights have been boring as ****. No matter how much his brothas ward and bradley talk him up

Boxing in a nutshell. Win a vacant belt against a pretender with a puffed up undefeated record. Then vacate without defending it. Sounds like a legit claim to be a world champion.

I saw his fight with Joet Gonzales and i can say he is more boring than Mayweather. He punch without intention to hurt the opposite and keep on back foot. He think he still in amateur. Josh Warrington should ignore this guy coz the fight will surely be boring.

"You start with a kid who has good habits and doesn’t pig out, but he’s growing. You have no control over the growth. When he started with us, he was a really young kid [19] who obviously was still growing." - Bob Arum

Same can be said about Teofimo Lopez Bob! Is he going to make 135?

Shakur should be in jail. He got away from jail last time, but with his attitude and friends, jail is coming, just a matter of time.
