Teo did a lot of talking nobody knows what he was going to do after Kambosos, I think with Haney and Teo things were personal as i say that's the only time i've seen Haney mad is when he had that confrontation with Teo on a couple of occasions. It's obvious from what George has said they had private discusssions and probably Kambosos was saying it was set in stone if he wins it was 100% so in Haneys mind he needed Kambosos to win. You really think Haney wanted to end up in this 2 fight **** contract he's stuck to? nah man.
No way. This is why Kambosos was saying he didn't have a choice. Technically he did have a choice, but in reality he didn't because of the damage it would have done to his reputation. He would have been deemed a "coward" and a "phony."
That's really why he took this deal. There's no way he would have taken this deal had he not opened his big mouth.SplitSecond likes this.

I don't care about all this crap but if it's true in a way it shows how strategic Devin and his dad are because they knew they could then easily take the belts off George. Or easier. You see the candid speech of Haney saying George is a nice guy normally. I have a feeling now that George will lose badly cause of all this nasty talk, it reminds of Teo before. Bad karma. Better to just be honest. But I suppose George is terrified that his hero status can be taken away from him.
Anyway - Haney by commanding shutout.Boxviewer likes this.

He got stuck into this contract because he opened his big mouth when he thought it was safe to. He said, "I'll take the same deal that Loma's taking." Then it was released that Loma was doing a two fight deal in Australia. Haney doubled down when it was clear that Loma would be fighting Kambosos. And then Russia invades Ukraine, forcing Loma to pull out. Could you imagine how it would have looked for Haney if he reneged on his "I'll take the same deal as Loma"? That statement went viral, and Haney's reputation would have been destroyed. That "Boogyman" reputation his tried so hard to make.

Even so most fighters wouldn't take that deal he wouldn't of been labaled anything because it's normal for new gen fighters to not make the big fights why would Haney be treated any different? I very much doubt Loma was getting such a bad deal but even if that was the case you got to respect him for taking it and going over there for undisputed it proves he isn't all about the money, as i say i have kind of switched in this fighter i wanted Kambo to win then wasn't too fussed but now i would prefer Haney to win. Anyway man as the others have said i don't get into the drama too much i just want a good fight sunday.
Haney does get respect. I had no doubt he wanted to fight Kambosos. And technically he definitely didn't have to take it so he deserves lots of respect. I like his composure. I think it's causing Kambosos mind games to back fire. What I don't like are his energy levels. His energy ... I don't know, there's just something off about him. Maybe it will change fight day, but right now I think this could be the hardest fight of Haney's life.Kzbox likes this.

I wonder why the Aussies like these events on what feels like non sports days, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays.
Anyway, Haney is going into the lion's den, but I think some of the crowd are going to warm to him if he shows real classy boxing skills.

Yeah. His plan of attack is all wrong. To be honest, it was kind of cringe. If it were me, and I wanted to get Haney riled, I would keep on about his being a "kid" or a "boy." He should be saying things like: "Look at Haney! HIs father let him come to Australia by himself! Haney! What's like to be able to have the training wheels off? Do you feel like a "big boy" now?
I mean that would have been a hell of a lot better than calling him a "rat" because of text messages. This is the one sign of weakness I've seen in George.Boxviewer likes this.
