    I see people saying Lopez lost

    But in reality we should all praise Kambosos. Came to win, anticipated at all times, delivered.

    Fast hands and a myriad of different shots which Neofimo could not anticipate, like that little upper thrown in when they were close.

    Yesterday's Kambosos is a great fighter. I don't know if h ever fights like that or if it was a one off, but last night was great.

    Kambosos is becoming something of a road warrior

    1. Beat American former IBF lightweight champion Mickey Bey in the US
    2. Beat British former IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby in the UK
    3. Beat American reigning unified lineal lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in the US

    Three straight step up fights against former or current champions on the road and he found a way to win them all. Respect.

      I think I've seen him fight twice before, deffo the Selby fight and based on those I gave him little chance of beating Teo. Last night he was magnificent. Teo, his conditioning or game plans aside the Australian went at him exactly like he said he would, I thought it was a suicidal idea but it definitely won him the fight.

        Kambosos is a very good fighter

        I said on here before the fight that he has a good style to deal with Lopez, it just depends if he can implement it at higher level than he’s seen… and he did.

        that’s the thing with undefeated fighters like him, You don’t really know how good they. You can only beat who’s in front of you.

        That’s why I think it’s ****** picking a fighter to lose because “ He’s never fought at that level” - who cares? That applied to every top fighter at one point.

        All you can do is look at the style and skill set and hope they can carry it forward up the levels, some do and some don’t but you should never rule anyone out until they get their opportunity to show it.

          After I saw him in absolute war against Selby I told you guys that Kambosos is a problem, but nobody would listen.

          Very fair fighter, that is great for boxing, we have Haney and Kambosos as title holders at 135 and these guys will actually wanna fight each other.

            Kambosos was generally seen as a tough, raw fighter, but he did reveal some serious skills in there.

              Always knew Kambosos was solid.

              Never dreamt he'd win.

                Agreed. Kambosos fought a great fight. Dropped Teo in the first and then got up after getting knocked down in the 10th and came back to win rounds 11 & 12. I thought Teofimo would finish him off after that knock down in the 10th round with all that time remaining.

                  even the elements of life tattoos on his back didnt help him win - nothing makes sense anymore
