    It always seems to happen in the US it took bloody ages for Crawford Spence to happen Ryan Garcia to his credit seems to be the only young US fighter willing to make the big fights. It is all just BS reasons why Tank, Shakur, Haney and Teo have never fought each other and now that Loma is in his late 30's they have all suddenly found their nuts to challenge him.

    When did Tank and Stevenson agree to unify??

    Stevenson is apparently in advanced negotiations with Zepeda.

    Stevenson has been saying for several years that he wants to face Loma. Lomas has showed zero interest.

    I'm disappointed but not entirely surprised.

    Davis may very well adopt a Loma approach (ie pretend he doesn't exist until his physical capabilities have deteriorated somewhat) with Stevenson.

    Until Stevenson had a belt at 135lbs, Loma would have had little reason to fight him. The Ukrainian is nothing if not an unrepentant belt chaser.

    I also suspect that Loma (and probably his team) worries he may not get the nod fighting in the States against another young American star, irrespective of what happens in the ring, ater the Haney experience.

    My guess is that Loma will either fight Stevenson, Tank, or retire next year.
