    Neither of them are big punchers. I think the main determining factors in this fight will be strength and endurance 'More so than punching power'.

    Kambosos Junior beat Lopez, because Lopez could not cope with the pace. Lopez was not as fit at the weight, probably due to the strain of doing big weight cuts etc.

    As that fight progressed you could see Lopez getting repetitive, and his work was lacking spite.

    Kambosos Junior was spiteful until the end, and he was sharp tactically.

        While Davis "says",Teo does. Cant stand his ass but you don't beat Lomachenko being a "garbage" boxer no matter how you try and slice it. Until Davis walks the walk,guy should keep his two cents to himself.

          Neither has much power. I don’t recall anyone claiming differently. It’s Haney’s chin that may or may not be unfairly criticized.

          Haney’s strange reaction after taking a shot from Linares, another guy without much power, was still just a single incident.

            I’ve always thought of Linares as having above average pop tbh.

            Certainly not a ****er by any means but a decent puncher

              George has more pop on his punches that you have to respect. He dropped mickey Bey and put teo on his ass.

                In order to wi both guys don't have to go for the KO and fight the way they normally do. They have sharp quick punches that can put another fighter on the canvass but neither is a power puncher.

                  Kambosis is a relative unknown. Posters have only seen him in with Teo. He hasn’t made any negative race comments. So his lack or power isn’t really a discussion point.
                  Dude, you're always on about race, wth. You Larry's jailhouse prag or what?

                  Lopez had a year to get into shape though lol and got dropped in the first round.

                    Most people here have never boxed or taught boxing so all they can say is "speed, power, resume, slickness," and all the usual bull****. Instead of identifying actual things the fighter does well that will be a problem for other fighters at the top level. Sad really, they're celebrity fans not boxing fans.
