It's Official: Kambosos vs Haney for June 4th!

Haney is going to completely outclass Kambosos, UD for devlin

 

I’m not sure if people are voting Kambosos because they actually think he’ll win, or just because they like him / dislike Haney.

I’ve never been a fan of Haney, quite frankly I find him boring to watch and he talks way too much on Twitter, but it’s pretty clear to me he’s a better boxer than George “Split Decision” Kambosos. I’d be surprised if this went any other way than a clear Haney decision.

 

Are you talking competitively or *officially*? Because given the location and Haney's more cautious style, I think he's going to have a tough time obtaining a UD. I think he'll win the competition but not sure he'll win the fight.

 

Have you watched these fights? Because all three were in the backyards of former or reigning world champions and the scoring was suspect to say the least. The Selby fight in particular was not remotely close, the 10-2 card was by far the most accurate. Two judges had GK beating Lopez 8-4 in America and GK beat Bey by 3-5 points on two cards in America, which should have been 5 on all.

GK isn't fighting in someone else's backyard this time or as the challenger, so he should get a fairer shake on the cards if it goes that far. This is by no means an easy fight for DH.

 

Just to confirm June the 5th...but will be broadcasted in prime time in the States on June 4.

Kambosos is going to carve Haney like a slice of Devon.
Not to thin, not thick and idealy with some tomato sauce lathered on.

 

50 / 50
On kambosos KO or haney on pts.

becsuse it’s in Australia
It will make Haney really have to earn it as opposed to keeping his distance , gliding & cruising to victory.

He will have to exchange more, which will give the lightning fast kambosos opportunity to land that “devinstating” shot!

eager to see it play out.

 

Kambosos's objective advantages over Haney:

GK has fought in 6 nations all over the world (in the opponent’s backyard against former or current world champions in his last 3 fights) DH in just 2 nations (U.S. and Tijuana Mexico). The undefeated, unified (de facto undisputed) champion GK is in or around his prime at nearly 29 (boxing for 18 years, as a pro for 9) the undefeated paper champion DH is pre-prime (not fully physically or mentally mature, less experienced, not the finished article skillset wise) at 23.5 (boxing for 16.5 years, as a pro for 6.5). GK has home and crowd advantage, young DH has never truly fought away from home, with all the added pressure and doubts that will entail. DH may be slightly demoralised (especially in tough moments) by the fact that even if he wins, he has to fight GK again in Australia. GK has been a massive underdog (against Lopez) and has been close to even odds (against mover and former world champion Selby, who Kambosos dominated 19.5 months prior to DH) but has always won, DH has never been anything but a much bigger favourite and A-side than he will be here. GK is ethnically Greek, DH is under even more pressure to win and not get KO’d due to certain racial comments he's made. Australian GK has a great 8-4 win over undefeated "weight bully", aggressive KO artist, Lomachenko-conqueror, 1/10 favourite, 24.33 year old American Lopez in a fierce battle in the U.S., American DH's best win is over 11/2 underdog, 35.75 year old, 15.5 months inactive, former 122 pounder Venezuelan Linares with 2 defeats in his last 5 fights and 5 prior KO defeats (3 in the first 2 rounds) in 52 fights, who won 4 rounds on two cards and 5 rounds on one card in the U.S. and rocked the possibly fragile DH at the end of the 10th (who responded by holding for the last two rounds). DH has to cut a lot of weight (rumoured to be 20-24 lbs) to make 135 lbs, which must negatively affect his attributes (especially his stamina, power and chin) and it can't be getting easier to make lightweight (DH was fighting at 60KG in the amateurs at 16) as he matures physically. GK is already regarded as one of the best Australian fighters of all time, DH is essentially a heavily hyped American prospect coming to steal hero GK’s hard won titles via runner points decision on GK’s first defence in Australia, in that nation’s first ever 4 belt undisputed fight. Australia has the reputation of permitting a rougher style of fighting than is typically the case in other nations, which likely favours GK. GK is billed as being 0.5-1.5 inches taller, has a monster chin, more power (GK has knocked out or knocked down 7/9 of his previous opponents in fights that were collectively billed for 90 rounds, DH 4/8 in fights that were billed for 92) confidence (GK wanted to fight Lomachenko before DH, who is generally recognised as a tougher opponent, Loma could be expected to be an easier opponent a year from now and DH harder as Loma’s much older, plus Loma doesn’t have a belt) and aggression than DH. DH only has 10 weeks to prepare for GK, who has been studying DH for years.

 

Ill be honest, i think a draw is highly likely and ill most likely bet on a draw.

 

Haney will take 8 or 9 rounds and get robbed. I can see it now

 

Good presser both fighters seem confident I’m leaning Haney but Kambosos looks like a tough out for anybody at 135, hopefully we get a good competitive bout with no funny business.
WAR Haney

 

Haney will win on points

 

Win or lose kambosos is going to have gained a lot of fans, not many fighter would take such a big risk right after winning a title (coming of such a great war too).
