    After being out today, I’ve finally managed to watch the Lopez vs Kambosos Jr fight…

    I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG - god damn, what a fight!

    1. @JOKER send your PayPal details, you deserve this $100.

    I gave you **** about your thread quality in the past, but no denying - your pick was bang on here! Props my man :clap:

    2. George Kambosos Jr - I owe him an apology.

    Kambosos was welcomed with boo’s and farewelled with cheers. This was the best underdog victory since Maidana whooped Broner.

    Going into this fight, I couldn’t see it as anything more than a mismatch. I’ve followed George for a while (being a Kiwi) but really didn’t see the ‘it’ factor. Given the performance that Lopez put on against Lomachenko, I counted the chickens before they’d hatched.

    Kambosos came to fight and nullified Lopez from the outset. From the moment that big right hand landed you could see Lopez’s confidence evaporate.

    3. Going into round 9, much like the crowd I had hoped that Kambosos could keep it together through the championship rounds. It’s not very often that I ride with another fighter half way through a fight, but George was putting on a clinic.

    Lopez was busted up, frustrated, and cocky all at the same time - fantastic to watch.

    I was worried with the knockdown in round 10 as that gave room for the terrible scorecards to come out…but George fought like a warrior, bit down in the last 2 and sealed the deal.

    4. Scorecards - for once, they got it right! I’m unsure how it was wasn’t unanimous. How could anyone let alone a judge have Teo winning that fight?

    5. Post fight - if people were already a bit taken back by Lopez loss, that post fight interview was despicable. Absolute diva.

    Side note - I’m unsure if anyone else noticed, but Kambosos corner was great. Clear instructions, methodical and very, very easy to hear. They would have been living in Teo’s head throughout the fight. You could hear them acknowledging the obvious swelling - just to stick it to Teo. They beat him in every way possible.

    The aftermath of this fight showed that a large section of Toefimo fans were just Lomachenko haters.

    Woooah, woah, woah - slow down there cowboy. The Teofimo win over Lomachenko was a massive victory… but don’t get it twisted. I couldn’t stand Lopez for the coward talk following their fight. Lomachenko deserved a rematch and personally I think he would have won it. However, that doesn’t change the fact that Lopez was deserving of my respect for his win over Lomachenko.

    I just didn’t think George was above Lopez level. I was wrong.

    You might be right with the majority of the Teo fans though. The ‘four kings’ fan boys all seem very similar in personality.

    :thumbsup:

    Like my father always says - Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

    I shot myself in the foot and have to deal with the blood pissing out my boot :eusa_whistle:

    I said "large section". Loma fans have by and large stuck by him. Teo "fans" are questioning if he beats Tank.

    :SimpHomer: bet should be null and void. He didnt give a breakdown on why he thought Kambosos would win. Anybody can say such and such will win, but if you dont give a reason as to why you think he wins, it shouldnt be taken seriously.

    Props!

    I hoped George would do the business, but really happy to see it come to pass - from the very 1st press conference, George seemed to know he could get in Teo's mind and would cause him problem's.

    Tough kid, and really impressed the way he bit down on the gumshield in 11 & 12 after the KD in 10.

    Thanks for being a gentleman. I picked Kambosos mostly because he exuded supreme and real confidence. And I think Lopez pulled out once by faking COVID because he wasn't ready.

    That's not how betting works. The bet is the bet is the bet.
