    Kambo going to 140

    Kambosos is gonna take the leap to 140 and see if he can salvage an already overwhelming career
    Hoping his power can carry over because I for one believe he’s reached his potential
    Will be fighting a Canadian kid from Eye of the Tiger’s stable
    Should have no problems with him but if he does …….
    What's your take on him moving up ???

    Think it will help him rejuvenate him to a degree since he does seem physically bigger than Regis Prograis and has fought at lightweight for more than a decade since he debuted, with him turning 31 years old this year.

    Think he physically took too much of a toll trying to cut weight attempting to get definitive advantages over his opponents and receiving too much punishment in his bouts with Haney and Lomachenko.

    Teofimo Lopez might now want to get his lick back against George Kambosos.

      I think Teo should have a rematch to revenge that loss which he should win. That was Kambosos golden night of his career he is decent but not elite

        Kambosos had back to back split decision wins against Bey and Selby prior to his fight with Teo. I remember those fights and he didn't look impressive, some could argue that his opponents deserved the wins. Since Teo, he was outclassed over 24 rounds against Haney, was gifted a win against Maxi Hughes and got obliterated by Loma.

        Would he be better at 140? Maybe. I think the far more likely truth is that he is a solid but basic fighter who isn't as good as that Teo win would lead some to believe....at any weight class.

          The Bey fight was close but the Selby fight was an easy Kambosos W. It was just because he was on the road that he ended up with the split decision.

          Regardless, Kambosos was the road B-side underdog in three straight fights against former/current world titlists and he won all three fights to become unified, lineal champion. Even if he never wins another fight, his legacy is secure. He beat three dudes he was supposed to lose to on the way to becoming lightweight champion of the world and nobody can take that away from him.

              I don't know, I remember both fights being fairly close. Regardless he has those wins. They came in countries other an Australia but I don't weight that as much as I do who has the promotional backing.
              ​​​​​​
              ​​​​​​I suppose he has the Hughes win too (although he didn't deserve it).

                  I think he’s reached his calling
                  He’ll have bigger problems if his power doesn’t follow

                    I think he’s signing with Matchroom. Would be a decent opponent for Dalton Smith.
