I hate hypocritcal snitches. Kambosos is trash, he is no real man. Running to the media saying 'oh look he sent these message to me' how old is this idiot? This is the kind of thing you hear from instagram teenage girls. And then the idiot with no self awareness calls Haney the rat? lmao! I know Haney is hated here but deep down his detractors know Kambosos is the real dick here. They wont say it though but they get it.
One could argue you’re lacking a little self awareness carrying on like an Instagram girl by getting wound up about some dribble coming from a fighter’s mouth. Say what you want about Kambosos but you can’t say he’s not a real man. All his big wins are on the road. I respect that, just like Haney for coming to Oz to fight him.
I haven’t checked but I think 9am Oz is the starting of the main cards. It will be around 1-2pm Oz time on Sunday for the Kambosos-Haney just to cater for US prime time Saturday night.
The Selby fight wasn't remotely close, he pretty much dominated him. The Bey fight was his first fight in the big leagues, a quantum leap in terms of competition and he was away from home for the first time. He didn't even realize what level he was on, chin or skill wise. So it's understandable why there was a degree of trepidation. Yet he still won it 96-93 imo, so there was nothing shameful about that performance. He warmed to the occasion, and closed very strong. As far as him being a big puncher, he hurt Lopez more than Loma, Nakatani and Commey did and Teo seems to have a decent chin, so the jury is still out on his power, but it's probably better than Linares'. He certainly didn't push for the KO against Selby and Bey. But based on those three performances, what can we ascertain? George has gotten really good at beating slick backfoot counter punchers, and by countering the counter punchers, and showed that he had a high fight IQ and controlled the distance very well. And that he's also an excellent counter puncher as well, who feasts on aggressive heavy handed fighters with relative ease. I was this close to picking George for the upset against Lopez, but since I'd never seen him in against a big puncher, I didn't know how good his chin was, well.... clearly it's damn solid. I still have a hard time seeing how Haney wins this walking away and let's be honest, if he doesn't, he will lose in Australia. But I doubt there'll be a need for corrupt scorecards.
You have to admire Kambosos.. for his home coming he picks the toughest fight.. he is not fighting local scrubs.. He chose Loma or Haney.. top of the top light weight. Credit to Haney as well to accept this fight off shore.. but it’s gonna be an uphill battle for him.
I actually think that Haney doesn't realize what he has got himself into. All his US yes man have convinced him that Kambosos is basic.
Yeah.. Kambosos have highly underated skill set, very well rounded and proven against all styles.. I would be worry if this is against Loma, cause there’s a chance that Loma can bewilder him.. but I don’t hold the same high regard for Haney. Haney is good but far from great.. He should have KO Linares but instead nearly got knocked off himself.. should have white wash Diaz like Shakur did to Valdez but again there are spots where he’s in trouble.. for a supposedly slick defensive fighter he ain’t all that plus a little lack of punching prowes..
He wanted Ryan Garcia but Ryan was tried with Tagoe. It was a case of Haney forcing his hand by chasing him for the fight. . Kambosos - was backed in the corner he had no other option. Left to him, he would had picked a bum and then gone for the Ryan fight end of this year. With the pressure on Kambosos to announce a defence, he rejected Haneys first offer, Haney said he will take the alleged terms they offered Loma, Kambosos tried to make the terms as unfavorbale as possible for Haney by inserting a rematch clause in Australia but that did not deter Haney. So no escape for Kambosos lol. Also, Lou Dibella and the networks were having none of the Ryan fight talk especially consdering Ryan is unreliable and can pull out any time and since the Loma fight was not going to happen. Only big cash fight was Haney. Lou wants those big checks now - he is not getting any younger and cant afford to wait. Only person that deserves praise here is Haney. He has been chasing everyone for the belts, Loma ducked him and dumbed the WBC, Teo ducked him and Kambosos had no choice. FACTS!
Agreed I don't think that Haney is on the same level as his American peers around the same weight like Shakur and Tank.
Haney could very well outbox Kambosos he does have the skill level to do so. I think Kambosos is the more mentally tough fighter of the two and sometimes will can overcome skill. Interesting fight I could see Haney wining but I could see Kambosos. Pick em fight with a slight lean to Haney for me.
You should look for a chair and sit down if you plan to wait until kambosos mops the floor with haney. You can get tired if not.
Haney does have the skills & I'll probably get slated for this, but he's really young man, its a massive fight , he's very long way from home & the fact his Dad could not make it will (imo) unsettle him. I have no dog in the fight I'm just hoping for a good fight, full respect to Haney, love Kambosos confidence but have to admit he can come across a bit odd at times, maybe its cultural thing as Aussies are ptetty tough sportsmen...
