Comments Thread For: Kambosos: Haney Was Hurt Every Time I Landed, It Was Boring Fight

Holy ****, he’s only 23? He throws a nice jab, has great movement and speaks/comes across really well. But it’s hard to get excited about him when he has zero power. Hope he somehow develops some more respectable power.

The only dude to have beat but not KO either Linares or Gamboa. That’s a crazy statistic.

It could be that he just doesn't feel the need to go for a finish as that inevitably puts him in more danger. Bit like Bivol was accused of pre-Canelo fight. Rigo too. But maybe he can develop like Jermell and start with low ko ratio and finish as a ko artist. When he moves up to 140 which will be sooner rather than later he is going to need something to make those guys respect him.

I said it before the fight that after this bout we will get another delusional fighter and his fanbase. It all panned out exactly as predicted. Just succk it up and move on if you can.

You mean the curse of the belts? No one has been able to keep the belts. As soon as they win, they lose them right away. I wonder if that will continue ....

About as inspiring as waking up at 5am to a soggy Kebab. Crap fight, crowd full of casuals and Kambosos found his level. The Dad thing can do one also - so predictable.

don't take kebabs to bed! I've woken up at 9am to a moist bird - far better option

No-one's had all 4 at 135 before. That is actually a historic achievement. I want to see Haney make a couple of defences before he moves up.

Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney should fight for the world title of “most phenomenal young boxer with a boring style that’s almost impossible to get excited about”.

Mad respect for his skills, an absolute boxing master, and if I were his handlers I wouldn't be having him box any differently, but man oh man.

hmm - Haney himself said "it's a business" during the post fight press conference. If he wants to maximize income one of 2, or both, things are going to need to happen > a/ he is going to need to get a few KOs or b/ he is going to need to be matched with perceived dangerous punchers so that you get the intrigue of "can he survive" against this killer

Yes they have. Lopez was undisputed and Kambosos was undisputed too. This is the third time, not the first.

Haney is gonna be a problem to beat. He's 23 and his pure boxing ability is about the best I've seen since Andre Ward. He doesn't have any power, which sucks but the kid is a master boxer

Just give it up, will you? You are getting way too moronic.

.....l pity your delusion.

It was a bit boring, but it was also definitive.
The 118 score was the most accurate.
The gulf Kambosos has to cross to beat Haney is just too much. Like most people who saw the fight, I see little point in a rematch.
