This Aussie bum had his 15 minutes of fame. Now it's time to give the shine (and belt) to a real deserving African American champ.

WTF is an African American? Never heard of that nationality.

He got split decisions in his last 3 fights because:
In the Mickey Bey fight he was an unknown Australian b-side fighting the American former IBF lightweight champion in the US
In the Lee Selby fight he was an unknown Australian b-side fighting the British former IBF featherweight champion in the UK
In the Teofimo Lopez fight he was an unknown Australian b-side fighting the American reigning lineal, unified champion in the US

Now he's the Australian a-side reigning lineal, unified champion fighting an American b-side titlist in Australia.

The reality is he beat Lopez, Selby, and Bey by several rounds each and got handed harsh decisions. The Bey fight was ugly but he still won most of the rounds; he won the Selby and Lopez fights in what should've been wide unanimous decisions.

He won all of those fights by split decision...miss me with that nonsense B-side stuff especially with the Mickey Bey fight, who was coming off a 3 year layoff.

He whooped Lopez and he whooped Selby. Those should have been 8-4 or 9-3 decisions in both cases.

The Bey fight he won 6-4 and no, Bey wasn't coming off a three year layoff. He fought and won on 9/21/18 and then lost to Kambosos on 12/14/19.

And, again, the Bey fight was a huge step up in competition for him, on the road.

Kambosos had never fought ANYBODY before the Bey fight. He fought his career best opponent three times in a row with Bey, then Selby, then Lopez and he won all three fights in more convincing fashion than the previous one.

My guy, you are not a judge. All 9 of those judges, watching 3 separate fights had Kambosos winning by split decision (one of those against a guy who couldn't breathe) . 1 split was bad enough but 3 in a row says alot about you as a fighter.

If there are fair judges in AU & Haney can stop those fan friendly flurries Kambosos like to throw, he'll be the favorite.

This is a make or break fight for Haney definitely. I think Haney will win a close fight if he keeps it on the outside and don't get hurt.
