    Good comeback fight, but I wanted to see him fighting Foster in a lower division.

    Should be an interesting fight, although this fight should favor Loma a lot. If Kambosos puts any effort and performs competitive enough then it could be fun. It'll give us an idea of how much they both have left.

    Regardless of who the opponent is, it's always an absolute joy and a privilege to watch Loma (even a well past prime aged version) display a level of skill and technical wizardry you just don't see from any other fighter in the sport. It's just a shame the sport is so corrupt and he's not defending his four belts and the powers that be would rather reward gigantic weight bullies who've literally never fought a single world champion close to their size than the likes of Loma who is a leprechaun facing giants not the other way round

    160 <<< GGG here weighing 170
    154
    147
    140 << Haney here weighing 165 with a longer reach than GGG
    135 << Haney here weighing 160 with a longer reach than GGG

    Haney's Leftovers Down Under

    Fight is a waste of time for Loma. Kambo also is the luckiest fighter in the world to keep getting all these paydays.

    He was the undisputed champion just over 18 months ago. Then he went 24 rounds with one of the biggest weight bullies of this generation.

    Of course he has earned the right to these big fights.

    I am not counting my man George out. I love both guys but history tells us Australia is not a safe place for aging legends.

    I still feel sorry for Loma, he did amazingly vs Haney considering the size and reach disadvantage.

    Good on you, I don't think this one is that difficult for Loma but let's see what happens.

    Loma is slightly shorter than what I expected ( pardon the pun ) $1.24 while Kambosos is $4.50.

    I thought Loma would be $1.30.

    Loma, if he really wanted to try to make a last stand should've fought Shakur.

    Loma should win this unless he's really, really on the downslide. If he is, he should still win but stylistically Kambosos would make him work for the win. That type of style is very annoying for an elite, boxer puncher who has lost a step.

    There shouldn't be talk of comebacks, he clearly beat Haney.. & hes too old for any comeback .. the guys on a retirement leg now imo

    The dude got beat up and outboxed by Maxi ****ing Hughes.....come on mate, Kambosos really only has the basics, no boxing skill at all.
