    Possible for Q1 of 2022, per mutual interest from both parties as well as DAZN. (I'll update the poll cutoff if and when a fight date is set)

    It would be a unification, with the WBC lightweight title (4th defense of Haney) and the WBA Super/IBF/WBO lightweight titles (1st defense of each by Kambosos) at stake.

    Kambosos stands 5′9½″ with 68" and is 20-0 (10). Haney is shorter at 5'8" but with a 71" reach, advantaged by three - and is 27-0 (15).

    I know Kambosas will be the popular choice here, but I think Haney's speed and activity will be problematic for him. It's a totally different fight from Lopez and in a way that's favorable to Haney, imo.

    But should be very competitive and could go either way.

    True, you can look at it as Haney being more of a stylistic handful than López ...but you can also point to Díaz laying out a blueprint for how the naturally much bigger, stronger, and higher-output Kambosos might have success. :thumbsup:

    Hanie seems to get tagged quite a bit as of late,

    linares & Jo Jo both hurt him
    & they ain’t exactly Big lightweights.

    Kambosos Experience, Power & home fiield Advantage Trifecta might be too much for Devin.

    I’ll be Putting most of my money on Kambosos,
    The same way I put most of my money on Devin vs JoJo tonight.

    I can't take the tale of the tape seriously anymore. Neither of these guys would be over 5'7

    Kambosos is far too tough for Haney. I know everyone is high on Kambosos but absolutely nothing about me thinks Haney’s got the metal to beat Kambosos. I genuinely think he’ll crumble when Kambosos gets in his face, similar to Teo tbh.

    I can almost see Haney’s face between rounds right now, looking all lost.

    To be totally fair, Haney does look suspiciously like he’s packing grade A China. The old running hug gave it away for me.

    personally, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Kambosos checks that for us.

    Lets not get carried away. kambosos has a 50% KO Ratio, about the same as jojo and diaz didnt get that close to dropping him. Linares is the biggest puncher Haney has fought and even he couldnt put him down. Haneys chin is good enough to withstand the punishment for 12 rounds imo.

    I see dogg in Kambosos, I don’t see it Haney.

    I don’t really think statistics matter too much, I’m just saying I’ll be surprised if Haney doesn’t get his chin checked if he fights Kambosos. I’m guessing you’re an American and you’ll be rooting for Haney but we all know deep down he’s getting lamped at some point. He might be ok, but he might not.
