Comments Thread For: Kambosos: Makes Most Sense To Fight Haney Next In 80,000-Seat Stadium In Sydney

No it doesn't

As boxing is only business these days any mando called has to wait a year.
Dibela has said it himself already on tbv pod they're deciding nothing for now & in covid world in Australia it makes sense for him to go home & possibly have a stadium fight against another local or an old name to in a way celebrate.

Then you go back to America for some of that Vegas money.
Get past that then you start the mando's

Haney He's the last on the list being the smallest payday. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Kudos for being a fighting champ. But trying to get anyone to travel to down under in the political climate that exists there is a very tall order.

Kambosos going for the "real" undisputed Light Weight Champion! I like that!

He's right, he beat the man who beat the man, so he's the king now.

Go and fight him in his home country, he's earned it.

On paper you might say these other bigger names beat Kambosos. But boxing isn't fought on paper, and Kambosos isn't easy to beat, as Lopez found out. George calls the shots now.

Yes, definitely. Haney probably makes the most sense in terms of titles, and might be the only one of the big $$$ fights out there that would be prepared to go to Australia.

Haney will not travel he said yea I’ll travel to get them belts if ( It makes sense ) basically saying yes but than no if you can read the it makes sense portion

Eddie Hearn: George Kambosos And Haney “MUST Meet” If Devin Beats Jojo Diaz
December 1, 2021 l 1 Comment l by Michael Collins

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn insists that WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney and IBF/WBA/WBC Franchise/WBO champion George Kambosos Jr. “MUST meet” if Devin successfully wins his fight this Saturday night against Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz Jr. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Hearn sounds like he’s ordering Kambosos to fight Haney. Kambosos-Haney would make sense if it were an eliminator fight to get to a MUCH bigger one involving a talent like Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, but it’s not a great one for the undisputed.

Kambosos deserves much better than Haney if he wants to bring in the dough and prove to the fans he’s the #1 fighter in the lightweight division.

Hearn believes that Haney vs. Kambosos is the biggest fight in the 135-lb division and that fans will be clamoring to see it.

If Hearn put it to a vote, he’d find out that the boxing public rates Haney far below other fighters like Gervonta Davis that they would like to see sharing the ring with Kambosos.

Haney vs. Kambosos is a tedious fight on paper. It might do well in Australia, but it’s not a great one for U.S fans. Joseph Diaz Jr., Tank, Vasily Lomachenko, or Ryan Garcia would be far superior options for Kambosos than Haney.

Is Haney Vs. Kambosos The Best Fight?

However, there’s another argument that Haney (26-0, 15 KOs), who has a very boring style of fighting and zero punching power, is not nearly as famous as Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis is right now.

Suppose the idea is to give the boxing world a fight that fans would be interested in seeing in large numbers. In that case, Tank Davis vs. Kambosos is the far better fight than watching Haney spoil for 12 rounds, clinching nonstop, and boxing with his watered-down Mayweather-esque style.

Having watched Haney clinch excessively in the championship rounds to SURVIVE after being repeatedly hurt in his last fight against past his best 36-year-old Jorge Linares on May 29th, he’s not nearly an exciting opponent for Kambosos compared to Tank Davis.

Styles make fights. Kambosos gets knocked out cold against Tank. He and Haney will make a great strategic boxing match. i like both fights. Cryan Garcia can beat him too but he doesn't deserve sht right now.

Other than Santa Cruz who the fuc has Tank knocked out cold? He couldn’t even knock out one legged Gamboa cold.

Isn't Australia in lockdown? They've been pepper spraying people for stepping outside of their homes.

Hats off to him. Get all the belts, become undisputed and then all roads stop at him. I don’t reckon he cares a jot about making less money in Aus. Haney is flakey and beatable and he knows it. No chin poor stamina and not a great deal of pop. Personally I doubt it’s even close. Kambosos had a perfect gameplan against Lopez and suspect he’d have an equally good one against Haney who let’s face it isn’t on the same level. All the sparring against Manny, he isn’t going to be remotely phased by Haney. Once he gets all the belts nobody had even the remotest claim on the division. He beats Haney his stock will go up again.
