Stevenson v some random for the belt and then Stevenson v Frampton next Spring.

Yeah...I know I’m pretty high and all...but this makes no sense right? This is just bob being a troll again?

He maintains control of contest in in case he has to offer fight to #2 ranked guy who is promoted by golden boy was a smart move on top rank part

You're not tripping, this is weird af. Only logic i can think of is I believe the organizations get a processing fee from the bidding. Since Bob has the WBO in his pockets, this is a way to keep them happy since they'll prolly get some type of payment for hosting the bidding. This is the only scenario that makes sense to me...

Frampton wont fight a young lion. Bring on Stevenson vs Warrington.

Forget Frampton, I think at this stage of his career he's easy work for Shakur. Now, Joet vs Shakur would be a great fight. Shakur will have to work to win that's for sure. We'll definitely find out if Shakur is really really the goods vs Joet.

By doing it this way he maintains control over who gets the title fight and creates the illusion that this was a fair process When many of us thought this is exactly what would happen.

It is damaging to the integrity of the sport the power promoters have with individual sanctioning bodies. The WBO is a complete joke for allowing this.

And thus why Al Haymon is trying to freeze them out. So he can do the same thing on his side.

Weak as s**t, Bob. This is one of many problems with boxing.

Valdez Vs Berchelt is going to be a war

FOTY caliber.

[Feint First]

Huge FAIL by grandpa Bob if he can't convince Valdez to take the Stevenson fight. At least on paper, he has a chance in that fight and the winner could become a star. Even if he loses, Valdez lives to fight another day. Instead, he's running up to 130 so he can be fed to Berchelt???

Berchelt will wreck this poor kid and end his career. And then what for Bob? Valdez is done or becomes a gatekeeper, Berchelt's a beast but will never be a marketable draw.

And Shakur gets another fughin gift
Fugh Frampton bring Warrington and just maybe then I’ll give Stevenson some credit
