Team Kambosos have now "moved on" from the Haney fight

Haney's best wins

A near 36 y/o well past prime inactive Linares he's much naturally bigger than who hadn't fought in 15 months and was 3-2 in his previous 5 fights, both losses via KO, one of which to a blown up 126 pounder with a serious shoulder injury

Linares hurt him badly in the dying seconds of round 10 and had the bell not come to Haney's rescue Linares would've knocked him out and if you think a closer to prime active Linares would've let him off the hook in the final two rounds you're smoking meth. Not that Haney would've made it that far against a younger Linares, mind.

Loma KO'd a prime active way bigger and heavier Linares who hadn't lost in six years and was ranked #11 by The Ring P4P at the time despite the fact it was just his first fight at the weight and he was fighting with the handicap of a serious shoulder injury from round 2 onward which he obvious underwent surgery on afterwards

Career 126 pounder/130 pounder featherfist Jojo Diaz who had only stopped 2 of his last 11 opponent and who Haney is way way bigger, heavier and longer than and whose only fight at the weight was winning a controversial decision over Javier Fortuna he was lucky to get his hand raised in. That's the same Fortuna Loma victim Jason Sosa KTFO and took the zero off and the same Jojo Diaz Loma victim GRJ took the zero off. Loma literally toyed with both GRJ and Sosa like they were nothing. The class gap was as vast an an ocean.

A shot to pieces inactive 39 y/o Gamboa who again, yep.. you guessed it.. Haney's 155lb (even more according to Mauricio) is way bigger, heavier and longer than.. who had only stopped 2 of his previous 12 opponents and one of them was shot and had only fought once in three years, should be 7-5 at 135, and has been dropped in like 11 separate fights, including by Loma victim Jason Sosa who was robbed against him.

Haney couldn't even wobble any of these fighters, let alone stop or drop them despite being way bigger, longer and heavier than all of them, especially Diaz and Gamboa, and hitting them with everything bar the kitchen sink.

Gamboa being 39 y/o, inactive, shot to bits, always chinny even way back in his prime, and having been stopped in all of his other loses, one of which when over three years younger by a 23-12 journeyman

Linares almost being 36, not having fought in 15 months, well past his best, 3-2 in his previous 5 fights, both loses via KO, one to a blown up injured 126 pounder he's much bigger and heavier than, and having a reputation for being chinny even during his prime and, like Gamboa, having been stopped in all of his other losses.

George fought the murderous punching massive 135 pounder Teofimo who is not only the hardest puncher in the division who possesses vicious one punch KO power in both hands who has iced teak-tough 154 pound lightweight world champions in a couple of rounds who had never even been dropped, but is also super fast, athletic and explosive, and highly skilled, and an excellent counter puncher and just much more dangerous all round and he fought him in his backyard

And Loma is obviously way better, way more accomplished, way more proven, higher ranked, P4P top 10 ranked, and way more dangerous than Haney despite being way smaller than him (Haney comes in about three divisions heavier than Loma on fight night FFS) and if George fights and beats him next it would be a way better and more prestigious win

But George is scared of Haney. You can't make this up. The Haney hypers inhabit a very strange reality indeed

 

Thanks. Next time I might slip out of first gear
