    Not sure how I feel about him returning at age 38. His style requires so much energy. Hes definitely not gonna look as good as we’re used to seeing but hopefully he’s still good enough to be competitive with the top guys.

    Im curious if this big fight is supposed to be with Tank? Better late than never I suppose.

    Should stay retire. He’s old, and while the judges ripped him off a little, beating Haney was a good way to exit.

    Lomasexuals will delude themselves to believe he beats Navarrete at featherweight, at this age, level of inactivity, and mentality.

    I'm not at all up on this so I have to ask if this is probably the sole reason he retired in the first place? Like a spite thing with TR or something? I remember reading Rocky Marciano's friend or brother or someone close saying he would not fight again to put a single dollar in Al Weil's-his manager's- pocket, or something to that effect and that this was a main reason he retired when he did.

    Boxing needs him. He'll win the title again. He's better than everyone else out there.

    Would be interesting as Stevenson hasn't fought an outboxer as anywhere as good as Loma.

    Also, Loma poses massive stylistic challenges to Stevenson.

    I knew this is gonna happen, I think he just took some time off to reflect on how things went, but he was definitely gonna come back

    he honestly should consider staying under 135, he could’ve completely dominated those divisions

    All these people saying he’s old all of the sudden, didn’t he just fight a couple years ago?

    I would love to see Loma fight again, just wonder how much is left in the tank.

    If he can still bring performances like he did against Kambosos he will continue to do really well imo.

    With his country at war I guess he had to choose between lacing up the gloves or picking up a rifle.
