Yep. I had Kambosos winning. I had it 115-111. Kambosos wanted it more and out worked Teofimo Lopez in an excellent fight!!!Comment

Totally, Usyk was already a world champ at cruiser and universally thought of as a brilliant boxer. Kambosos was barely in the top 10 at lightweight. Amazing result. Also it was pretty clearly 7-5 or 8-4 Kambo, a deserved win.Last edited by GreatMalenko; 11-28-2021, 09:00 AM.Comment

By a wide margin I'd say... certainly the bookies thought so. You could find odds on George out to about +800 I think whereas Usyk was maybe +225 or +250 at the very widest. Lotta folk thought Usyk would win but very few thought Kanbosos had a real shot... although there were two or three wise men on the Pick Em who were smart enough to call it.Comment

Yeah, clearly.
Usyk is a better boxer than AJ and ranked in p4p lists, all AJ ever had on his side was size and power. You need more than that to beat someone who is levels above you. That’s why I always picked Usyk on here to beat AJ.
this one is a bigger upset because Kambosos was jumping in levels and Teo coming off beating Loma. I think I was one of the few people on here that said stylistically Kambosos has a good style to deal with Lopez, it would just be a question of if he could do it at a higher level than he already has, because we have never seen it, but he did.
I wasn’t shocked at either result, but at least I was 100% confident that Usyk beats AJ.Comment

George Kambosos Junior won this fight.
Most definitely, I said before the fight that? Skill for skill Kambosos Junior was not light years behind Lopez in terms of ability.
I just thought that Lopez had a extra gear, which I still think he has 'But for whatever reason he could not sustain attacks in high gear'.
Pretty much by rounds 4-5 I could see Teofimo Lopez starting to fatigue and become quite one dimensional in his attacks.
Teofimo Lopez to me, just looked like he could not go through the gears and sustain a intensity. I would not say his conditioning was bad, but Kamboses Junior's conditioning and endurance was better 'And that is what won him the fight'.
There was a mental urgency and creativity to Kamboses Junior's work at times, while Teofimo Lopez gave me the impression? That he could not believe Kamboses Junior was taking his power and still fighting back.
That is the expression that I sensed within Lopez 'He kept on thinking Kambosos Junior would break at some point, but he did not'.
Teofimo Lopez probably lost this fight in preparation, it is most likely for sure time to move up to 140 pounds.
Note: Another weight cutter has not suffered the consequences of trying to be the big man. I wonder when same day weigh in's are going to be re-introduced. That would really change the dynamic of the game, bring back the old school fighters.

A knockdown is always 10-8 unless the guy who was dropped batters the opponent (enough it would have warranted a standing 8 count), then it becomes 9-9
Well I can only speak for myself, not anybody else on here but in my opinion the only controversy was the card that gave it to Lopez and maybe the judges scoring the 1st a 10-9 and not a 10-8 but Lopez was winning that 1st round until the knock down. It was a clear and very much deserved victory for the Australian.
if you hit the canvas, but your opponent didn’t, you lost the round. -1 point for the knockdown itself, means it’s always a 10-8
good catch, didn’t realise the judges scored it 10-9. That’s appalling standardsComment

So none of these beaten Champions what immediate rematches, accept Anthony Joshua.
TeoFimo Lopez, could of accepted a rematch there and then in the ring but he did not.
TeoFimo Lopez should of told Kambosos Junior, that he will take the rematch at 140 pounds 'Get some get back'.
I don't think we will see a rematch, unless George Kambosos Junior moves up to 140 pounds.
