^^ Right, so even if Lopez moves up to 140 already, we have someone trying to get into the picture and put his name around those established boxers in the lightweight.
So we will see how he will adjust to it, maybe he can challenge for the belt because guess what? Shakur is with Top Rank as well so it's a win win situation for him to get into this weight class ASAP because Haney is also on the same stable and so is Loma.
Yes, we can't really take the fact that Teofimo Lopez made a good run in the lightweight and it's actually good that he decided much earlier that lightweight isn't for him that's why he moved-up in the next division. Now the stars are getting stacked at 135 pounds trying to get their way through the ranks with of course the new additional, Shakur Stevenson. Although we can't do anything towards Shakur's situation but it's really unfortunate that he can't even defend his belt for the last time against Robson.
Just the same with Casimero's case, there's nothing that he can do but to move forward and try his skills in the next division, like what he said, he can't compromise his health and the best option is to move up. Now there are many great fighters in this division. We will expect more interesting fights this coming season and that means that aside from the money that will flow, fans will also enjoy the best match that promoters will be offering.
Haney and Kambosos rematch will dictate who's going to be the title holder and if in case there's no trilogy to happen.
If in case Haney will win again, then he might earn a huge amount of money in his next money fight.
But the case of Casimero is quite different, neither one in his camp give a statement whether he'll stay or if he'll move to super-bantam or featherweight. He already missed some weight before but got lucky because he has another solid reason, and I surely bet that they already know that. Well, he's already 32 years old, might be late for him to expect that he could chase Inoue in the next division.
Back to this fight, it looks like Haney will still win again as his chances to win again have increased this time that's why he is confident to fight Kambosos again in his place. That said, the chance of trilogy is quite low, so I think we will see Haney vs Loma next.
