    How about y'all blame King George for not doing what he had to do by getting past that jab doing more to not get clinched on the inside.

    Better fighters would have found a way to make it a fight!
    So when youre in hostile territory you do the bare minimum??

      I agree it was a boring soft fight, but don't blame Haney that's his style, the ring is not a big place Kambosis did nothing it was up to him to take the fight to Haney and he failed badly to even have a go. so its 301 Spartans lol, well he was the only Spartan to not go out on his shield, I was way more disappointed in Kambosis not try going for it than Haney doing what he does.

        There is no right specific strategy to deal with them circumstances of that or securing a victory. He chose to take no chances to secure his win. So what?

        How bout y'all focus on what the loser should have did instead of the winner?

          TS said Haney is the most boring fighter ever, my response; "Have you seen Carlos Molina fight?"

          The reason I'm asking is because Molina's ability to cause boredom is on a whole other level.
          Well, whatever the case, it's bad for boxing. Period. This sport can't gain in popularity with performances like that. And I'm not alone here and I'm not hating. I would like to see fights with Haney more than Kambosos but that was UNTIL last night. And honestly, because of Haney's size, no one at lightweight is going to be able to deal with Haney's grappling game. Maybe Loma because he's got good takedown defense, but he's small. Tank is small too compared to Haney. Garcia is too flatfooted but at least his as big as Haney and maybe stronger.

          I just don't see any of the top lightweights being able to deal with ducking below the belt line every time you get past the jab and clinching. Especially with a referee that doesn't let you fight out of it but breaks you up so that Haney's opponent is once again at the end of his jab.

          I'm just really bothered that people are cool with the flagrant abuse of the rules. I hope other teams and referees try to put a stop to that tactic. You want to do it every once in awhile, cool. But to make that the cornerstone of your game plan is just too much. It was as if Haney felt that he was in there with Mike Tyson.

          I don't know ... well, I do know that I'm done ranting about this. It is what it is.

            Fury fans calling someone boring is ironic. Fury couldn’t even sell 5K tickets before the Wilder fight.

              Only a bigger strong guy could possibly decipher that style of Haney. A guy who could wrestle and able slam Haney on the canvas. If the ref refuses to enforce rules, then do whatever it takes to make it dirty, otherwise he will keep on doing it over and over again. You're destined to lose anyways, so why not do something else?

              Kambosos is too skinny and frail to physically outmaneuver Haney. That's why the rematch will do nothing for him.

                He makes Wladimir Klitschko look like Muhammad Ali. Yes Klitschko was jabbing and clinching , but he also had his signature hooks and crosses , able to drop nearly everybody.

                And I don`t wanna hear about Klitschko - Fury being boring again. Lol, Haney`s skills are nowhere compared to these 2.
                Man, would you please stop making this shit about race? Just come out and say it. "I hate Devin Haney who is both the undefeated and undisputed Lightweight champion of the world because of his race.". There; I fixed it for you!.

                  Hell yeah when your opponent is doing next to absolutely nothing because the fight wasn't in the least bit close. He shut Kambosos completely down and out. However, I do agree with the overall basic premise that both fighters should have taken more risk in the ring but in the case of Devin Haney; He didn't have to because he was sticking with what was working for him and that was his jab.

                    I would agree with you if this was just a regular fight stay busy fight but being that it was for the UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD he should have turned up the heat and made a statement, show the world why youre the best. The kid has no 2nd gear and no killer instinct, when the competition gets stiffer those will be his 2 downfalls.

                      Definitely one of the most boring of this era.

                      most boring fighter i ever watched live was Devon Alexander, him and Bradley both stunk the joint out but Devon was embarrassing that night, no confidence, no drive, awful fight.

                      I also went to his fight vs Maidana and even though Maidana was in terrible shape and gave up after 3 rounds, Devon still clinched and hugged repeatably for all 10 rounds, i won money on that fight but still felt depressed.
