As a Loma fan, I'm disappointed with his next opponent

    Boxing is taking the same approach with Loma as it did with GGG. The entire filthy sport is doing an end run around the guy during his prime.

    I think it was a black eye for boxing. We saw someone cheat their way to victory. Now if Loma gets lit up or out hustled then that's a different thing. What we saw was flagrant cheating and I really can't understand why people are cool with that.

    It is boxings fundamental weakness. The best don't fight the best when they don't have to. Same as GGG vs Canelo. You really think the winner will risk a fight vs Jermall Charlo? Assuming Charlo beats Heiland, he becomes mandatory. A dangerous one that brings NO MONEY.

    It's a shame he's making a business decision.

    Sometimes a fighter just doesn't want to gain revenge by going through a rough fight again. Kostya Tszyu, Pac, and many others are penalized in history-but to a certain degree.

    Pac wasn't heavily penalized. I took a Point from Pac but he's proven himself. I took 2 points from Wlad and Wlad has proven himself. Loma, I might take 5 points because you're in your prime and you let Arum run the money.

    I can only hope if GGG wins he'll defend his strap against Charlo before unifying with BJS

    If Charlo gets that mandatory slot, GGG will fight him. He didn't come this far in the unification game to vacate a belt now.

    BJS will probably keep playing games with him. I wouldn't trust that fight actually happening even if it got signed.

    Absolutely. This is the worst phenomenon going on in boxing today. I will never forgive boxers who adopt this similar approach. I want fat Gervonta to fail so badly for ducking Loma.

    After Loma beats Marriaga, Berchelt with a similar style is going to want no part of Lomachenko.

    Ali fought the Lion of Flanders. It's a business and a job, folks.
