    I got Haney in a competitive bout not sure where to lean on the 3 fight deal thing that’s kinda ridiculous and a prime example of why fights be so difficult to get made, fighters gotta sign away years just for 1 match considering TR involvement I wouldn’t be surprised if something dubious happens.
    Regardless quality fight WAR Haney

    Kambosos with a mighty 50% KO percentage doesn't KO anyone decent.
    Besides, being rocked by Linares really isn't that big of a deal...ask Loma :lol:

    Respect to team Haney for making it happen and we get to see a good match-up and the top fighters fighting each other. I see this as a tough stylistic match-up for Kambosos. It's a good fight because we have seen Haney get clocked and shaky in some fights late & Kam can punch. On the other hand Kam probably fades lat into fights and has to deal with the reach and speed of Haney. I think Haney wins this, whether he gets a decision is another matter. I personally would not set foot in Australia after all the craziness in the last 2 years or so. They are hostile to their own citizens, how in the crap can you expect a just decision in this.

    Of course Loma will ‘get a sniff’ you complete idiot, Haney has signed with Top Rank for the 2nd or 3rd fight being against Loma. You wally.

    2nd fight rematch if he wins. After that Haney moves up. No way his fighting Loma at 135lbs.

    Stop it lol. He won a close fight by split decision and got dropped harder by Lopez than his own knockdown on Lopez.

    All I heard was Haney would never fight kambosos in Australia and he was scared. Props to both men for getting this fight done.

    Haney deserves credit for making the fight down under.

    That said, he's going to get KO'd.

    He can do it in a little over a year. Kambosos wants his rematch and TR wants to keep it’s shot at the titles while Loma is away.

    Is Haney in the business of fighting the best or what? The deal is great. People seem to forget Lopez was about to go to Australia to fight Kambosos, and this 2 fight deal in Australia was Lomachenko’s contract. They predict plenty of green over there clearly.

    Preferably no boxer should be legally allowed to sign a holding contract longer than one-year. But Canelo just signed a similar deal with DAZN incase people hadn’t noticed. Are people just worried for Haney because it’s unprecedented for an American? I doubt they’d care if it was Lomachenko rematching Kambosos in Aussie land like it was originally planned.

    Kambosos gets KD's though: Lopez and Bey. He has KO'd or KD'd 7/9 of his previous opponents, Haney 4/8. Plus Haney had more billed rounds to get KO's/KD's: 92 vs 90. Kambosos is a significantly bigger puncher than Haney and Haney was rocked way worse by Linares than Loma was, ran and held for the last 2 rounds.

    Haney needs to stop Kambosos if he wants to win the title. No way he wins a decision in Australia.

    Kambosos has never faded late in fight, he has great stamina and can fight for 15 if he needed to.

    Haney also fought a lot in Mexico to get those stoppages, 15 or so fights I believe against guys who mash guacamole for a living.
