    So a combination of both.

    You think his covid was legitimate?

    He landed his biggest shots on Kambosos and didn’t slow him down until George got tired and ate a shot in the tenth. I hate speculating based on one fight. Let’s see Teo fight a couple more times and see what happens. He definitely has power but I’m not sure he’s a world beater. And I don’t know if he has power to beat top guys at 140, a weight at which he will soon be competing. We will also know how good George’s chin is when he faces other guys. He looked solid last night abs I’m a fan. I hope he continues fighting like he did yesterday. Exciting guy, not the biggest puncher but that KD was legit. Not a fluke.

    Teo fought the wrong fight but that’s what undisciplined guys do. He’s unpredictable but has talent. I just hope we find out in the ring by watching these guys fight more than once a year. Too hard to make conclusions with such a small sample size.

    He fought the correct disciplined fight against Loma, think he just respected Loma more?

    He had to nullify Lomachenko, he tried to knockout Kambosos.
    People vastly overstate how effective Teofimo's agression was in the first half of his fight against Loma.

    He has to improve his corner, bottom line. From his trainer to his cut man, the whole corner. It was a disaster and cost him the fight, period. He’s better in every way than GK, but his corner prepared him for and allowed him to continue fighting one of the worst fights (strategically) I’ve ever seen.

    We will never know. Guys lose fights, it’s boxing. All of the scheduling start-stops didn’t help matters and Teo had a couple more belts and more $$$ to blow after he won that fight so he probably had more distractions. It wouldn’t be the first time a guy went off the rails after winning a belt or two. Buster Douglas was a different guy the night he beat Tyson. The next time I saw him in the ring, he had man boobs getting his ass kicked. Say what you will, Teo didn’t have man boobs during his defense.

    I don’t like this type of speculation because it takes away from Kambosos’ impressive accomplishment. The victory wasn’t a lucky KO, fluke or due to freak injury. George did it the old fashioned way, traveled across the globe and beat a champion in his own backyard by decision. The fact that knocked the champ down in the first round and had to pull himself off the canvass later in the fight made it even more impressive.

    After the fight, George conducted himself like a champion and was gracious, while the bloodied former champ acted like a typical sore loser, while his drunken scumbag father made an even bigger fool out of himself.

    Nah, Kambosos' chin, combined with his strategy (moving his hands, jab, crowd his power on the inside, solid defense, great countering) is what gave him the win. Lopez really thought he was gonna come in and stop him in one round, he had no answers, his corner had no answers
