    I have stated this also, if he cannot inflict serious damage with his power or force Kambosos Junior back 'He may be beaten on points'.

    Haney's boxing skills for me, are solid enough but nothing out of this world.

      ****ing as if that would happen.

      Yeah it's a close fight and then they give up home field advantage.

      Moot point anyway Haney is gonna pick this guy off all night and if Kambosos wants to fight like a tasmanian ****** he can get the Floyd-Hatton treatment.

        3. People saying Kambosos will get frustrated, this will be the compete opposite. Kambosos isn't an old washed up ex champ with multiple losses. Kambosos is a world class fighter in his prime. When Haney keeps getting popped in the face and he can't stop it, he'll slow down or get reckless and be extremely vulnerable. Then we see some 300 type shit and watch Kambosos distroy Haney.
        Have you people seen any Kambosos fight EXCEPT the one vs the worst version of Lopez ever?

        He usually goes 50/50 with domestic level operators, that last fight was the exception but everyone on here acts like its the rule.

              It’s a good fight, I don’t think power is a big factor in the fight but it would certainly help Haney in this one if he had it.

              Haney is nowhere near as defensively slick as he thinks. Kambosos has excellent timing, not great power but explosive with his timing which can really deter opponents. He made Lopez hesitant because of this.

              Kambosos can also close range fast if needed and I think he can use that to get past the jab of Haney and almost take his jab away. He has a great style to do that.

              For me, Haney only wins if he can establish and jab and distance, but that might lend itself to a negative display and if it’s close because of that, they judge might favour Kambosos.

              Kambosos has a very good ring IQ. I was one of the few on here that give him a good chance against Lopez because he has the boxing brain and style to negate fighters. If he takes Haney’s jab away, which he could, he can win comfortably.

                I’ve seen plenty of his fights. Look back through the threads, I said the Lopez fight wasn’t going to be what people think. Kambosos is a very smart fighter and had tools that were always going to trouble Lopez, I said it on here before the fight. Lopez like others may have underestimated him.

                Also, none of those fights should have been split decisions anyway. He won them clearly enough. Besides, some fighters fight to the level of their opponents too much, he’s probably one of them.

                He’s a world level fighter for sure with an excellent boxing brain. Seeing as I don’t think anyone in that weight class at the moment is truly elite, that makes him highly competitive with any of them.

                  You don’t need power to win a boxing match. You should know that.

                    Are you suggesting if Kambosos fights aggressively a referee will be in place to illegally interfere? I certainly hope not, that would be a disgrace.

                      I think Haney has a 75% chance to beat Kambosos, even on decision. George may have just caught Lopez at the right time. He was going through some issues outside of boxing and in the ring, he was so mentally charged that it played into George's hands. That is not taking anything about from George because it was a hell of a fight. I just think, it was the best fight we may have seen from Kambosos.

                      There is a good chance, Haney puts on a very safety first win as he coasts to a boring decision because he simply outboxes Kambosos with little fan fare. I can see this happening and depending how easy he makes it looks, determines how the judges are going to score it. If it really looks lopsided, hopefully the judges get it right. If Kambosos even has a little bit of activity where it looks more exciting than Haney, there is a good chance the scores are super closed or that Kambosos even comes away with the steal, lol.
