    He was doing more than counter punching.

    :) Just stating facts.

    He was a defending world lightweight champion who made $10 million guaranteed for his first title defense. And he has an immediate rematch clause.

    Is he the worst lightweight champion ever? Certainly doesn't seem like it, no.

    Richest Lightweight Champion? He very well may be.

    And he'll make millions more later this year in the return.

    I know Haney hit him with a good shot but I can't remember what round. As a matter of fact, he hit him with several good right hands.

    He might be in the discussion with the likes of Douglas...

    But both beat "the man" at the weight with a quality performance

    It shows just how fickle boxing fans can be.

    Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize Teo Lopez was a 37 year old with an all-time great career, my bad.

    You are comparing Teo reign on the same Level as Iron Mike? its 100% evident you were not alive during the pack Tyson era.

    Agreed, the problem was he didn't even bother to jab or double jab or feint, and barely tried any of his combinations, Haney along with being the bigger guy looked faster and moved quick side to side leaving George aside,

    Even with all that George didn't try getting out of range of Haney's jab or jab him back even once to let him know there will be something coming back, basically all night he figured hell sit back and just counter while Haney kept popping the jab on his face collecting his rounds with more activity regardless if it was only jabs,

    You allow someone to jab you like that it's a wrap.

    Kambosos put in a pathetic effort. I didn't see the dog in him like I did in the Teofimo fight.
