Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Seeks To Block Herring-Frampton, Enforce WBO Mandatory Status

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shakur Stevenson is not interested in waiting any longer than legally required in his pursuit of a second divisional crown. The former featherweight titlist remains the number-one contender to the WBO 130-pound strap currently held by Jamel Herring. With that status came disappointment upon learning that Herring plans to still proceed with a voluntary title defense versus former two-division champ Carl Frampton, with their announced bout due to take place Feb. 27 in London.

Herring shouldn't keep him waiting forever so he should either fight or vacate, shįtty fight for Herring as it's high risk low reward but it is what it is. Only case where not fighting mandatories is ok for me is for unification fights. So if Herring decides to fight Berchelt (not possible in the near futuresince Berchelt is scheduled to fight Valdez in February), who's also with top rank, I could tolerate Stevenson having to wait for the winner, but I don't see why he should wait for Herring to fight Frampton. So fight or vacate, simple as that!

Very weird situation. All 3 are under TR amd they were puttinf this fight together. Wonder how they going to feel thatvone of their own went behind their back to seek blockage of the fight.

Right? The winner will have to face Shakur anyways. No need to block this fight as it's happening in like six weeks. Besides, Arum is the promoter of Herring and Shakur so this makes no sense at all.

I’d much rather see that one. If Stevenson really wants to test himself, GRJ is the perfect opponent.

How is he being selfish if he signed a step aside agreement that is being violated? Could he be "nice" and not make waves? What is the old saying? "Nice guys finish last".......!
