It’s a shame Lomachenko petitioned the WBC for the right to sanctioned ducking. It makes a person look back at Berchelt being the number 1 threat at 130 and calling for the fight only to be rebuffed. Haney just needs to look past the sanctioned ducking and build his career against those that are willing to fight. At some point at some weight people will call for Lomachenko to fight one of the best at the weight. He’s refused Berchelt, refused Garcia, refused Haney, but eventually they will have to accept a fight against someone. Then Haney has his chip, if Loma has any ambitions for anything real, not ESPN lies of an undefeated record, not WBC lies of undisputed, but something real he will have to fight for the real WBC belt. And Haney will have his chance.
Today is meaningless though, the whole damn card is a circus. DAZN isn’t getting subscriptions so they’re desperate. Maybe a circus is what they need though because their attempt at real boxing has been a disaster of epic proportions. Nobody could have imagined they would have gotten such a tiny piece of the US market. I don’t expect today to help but I’m over 40, I know nothing of what 20-30 year olds find entertaining today. If it gets subscriptions and said subscriptions leads to good fights and less stuff like allowing Chavez to fight while suspended then good, let the train wreck be over. Let the boxing begin
