    • Lomachenko fans spoke against Haney for a long time and repeatedly justified Loma not giving Haney the shot he earned. Now that Haney is undisputed you guys shamelessly push for Loma vs Haney. I hope Loma is frozen out just like he did to Haney. Why should Loma be treated better and cut the line? He just lost to Teo. Why not push for that rematch like you did when Teo had the titles?
      Loma requested the Franchise title so he would be exempt from defending his title against his mandatory and you justified it.
      Canelo and Loma fanboys has been a cancer to the sport!

      • All these Champions should fight the # 1 contender, whoever that may be.

  • Fortuna is tailor made for Garcia. He is completely the opposite of Emmanuel Tagoe, fearless and pressure fighter, will make an entertaining fight that might end before 5 rounds in Garcia’s favor

      • Shame on him if he does it. I am sure he will fight Fortuna, Whetto, but the one I strong believe he will find the way out is the one against Gervonta Davis. Let imagine Davis signs the dotted line to fight him, mark my words that one month before, the fight is called off with Garcia arguing a bogus excuse

  • Ryan Garcia is a joke – what is this the 3rd or 4th fight not to fight Devin Haney and he has the nerve to critique what Haney’s doing being Undisputed champion in a division that he is also in. Man has no shame and has feminine tendencies.
