"accused of ducking Kambosos, to pulverizing him in his own house and becoming the first Undisputed LW champion since Whitaker.
When was he accused of ducking Kambosos? I don't recall anybody suggesting he was ducking Kambosos? Haney invited that fight, however his first round of negotiations under Hearn seemed to fall down with the demands (Vegas not Melbourne most definitely, cash split i assume.)

Everyone wants to see Haney fight the bigger names at 135. I'd like to see it. Truth be told it seems Lomachenko is perhaps the only big name that will be available.
Garcia is pumpfake god.
Tank/Ellerbe aren't interested in the risk vs reward considering they're a ppv name already.

So lets hope we see Haney v Loma before Haney moves up to 140.

Fundora to top Showtime tripleheader

Sebastian Fundora will defend the WBC interim junior middleweight title against an opponent to be determined on Oct. 8 in the main event of a Showtime tripleheader, a source with knowledge of the plans told Fight Freaks Unite. The site has not been determined.

Fundora (19-0-1, 13 KOs), 24, a southpaw from Coachella, California, claimed the vacant interim belt by ninth-round knockout of Erickson Lubin on April 9 in a fight of the year candidate in which both fighters were knocked down.

The card will also feature a middleweight fight between Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs), 28, of the Dominican Republic, and Juan Macias Montiel (23-5-2, 23 KOs), 28, of Mexico, the source said.

Adames is coming off his biggest win via 10-round decision over three-time title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko in December. Macias has won his only fight since showing enormous heart in a lopsided decision loss challenging WBC titlist Jermall Charlo 14 months ago.

The third fight on the telecast will be an immediate rematch between IBF junior bantamweight titlist Fernando Martinez and Jerwin Ancajas, multiple sources said.

Martinez (14-0, 8 KOs), 31, of Argentina, scored a wide decision over Ancajas (33-2-2, 22 KOs), 30, of the Philippines, to claim the 115-pound title in an upset on Feb. 26. Ancajas had held the belt since 2016 and made nine successful defenses.

Flyweight Gabriela Fundora (8-0, 4 KOs), 20, of Coachella, California, who is Sebastian’s sister, will also appear on the undercard against an opponent to be determined.


interesting..with that being said if montiel gets ko'ed by adames, we are going to have another open talk dialogue revisiting the excuses certain people were making for jermall charlo after the montiel fight

Joseph Adorno To Face Hugo Roldan, Replaces Shinard Bunch Atop September 9 ShoBox Tripleheader

BY JAKE DONOVAN
Published Tue Aug 09, 2022, 01:02 PM EDT
Joseph Adorno will return to his roots for his first televised headliner.

BoxingScene.com has learned that Adorno will now face Argentina’s Hugo Roldan in a scheduled ten-round junior welterweight battle atop a previously announced September 9 ShoBox tripleheader from Bally’s Event Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Adorno accepted the fight on Monday, replacing stablemate Shinard Bunch who was pulled from the show for undisclosed reasons.

The development provides Adorno (16-1-2, 14KOs) with his fourth fight of 2022, after having struggled to regularly make his way back to the ring since the pandemic. The Puerto Rican prospect from Allentown, Pennsylvania—who now trains in Orlando—fought just once each in 2020 and 2021, the inactivity in part attributed to his own struggles at the scales which resulted in at least two fights being canceled during that time.

Interestingly, the current rate of activity began in defeat. Adorno came up short in a ten-round decision in favor of Michel Rivera in their March 26 battle of unbeaten lightweights in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The fight opened a Showtime Championship Boxing tripleheader topped by the U.S. debut of Australia’s Tim Tszyu. Adorno has since won two straight in his adopted hometown of Orlando—including an early knockout victory on July 23—and now taking the interesting step of going from the network’s flagship series to its long-running prospect-based platform.

It will also mark Adorno’s first fight in his home region since January 2020, when he fought to an eight-round draw with Hector Garcia at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Etess Arena. He will now head roughly one mile down the strip to Bally’s which hosted the first-ever ShoBox card more than 21 years ago.

Roldan (21-0-1, 7KOs) keeps intact his U.S. debut and his second straight fight outside of his native Argentina. He is a promotional and training stablemate of leading junior middleweight contender Sebastian Fundora (19-0-1, 13KOs)—and his sister Gabriela (8-0, 4KOs), a flyweight prospect. All three are trained by Freddy Fundora—Sebastian and Gabriela’s father—and promoted by Sampson Lewkowicz, with Roldan relocating to Coachella, California to regularly work with the team.

The 29-year-old Roldan is coming off a ten-round points win over German del Castillo on January 14, surviving two knockdowns to prevail on the road in Panama City, Panama.

The rest of the tripleheader remains intact.

In the co-feature, undefeated Filipino featherweight prospect Bernard Angelo Torres (16-0, 7 KOs) faces Dominican Republic’s Frency Fortunato Saya (13-1, 10 KOs). Opening the telecast, ShoBox returnee Janelson Bocachica (17-0-1, 11 KOs) battles knockout artist Roiman Villa (24-1, 24 KOs) at welterweight. Both bouts are currently scheduled for eight rounds.
