    Before anyone brings up career featherweight or 130 pounder, Lee Selby was a career featherweight and Kambosos went life and death with him. Jojo is an excellent fighter. He gave GRJ a helluva fight.

    Of course he would. Jojo Diaz is a plodder who can have some success against guys who doesn't like pressure but a strong young guy like Kambosos easily beats him 8-4/9-3.

    He beat Teofimo Lopez in relatively dominant fashion, losing one round decisively. Why does everyone all seem to have such an issue processing this? Of course he beat Diaz.

    That's probably 3rd time I've seen you mention life and death with Selby..at least I'm assuming it was you because of the words..life and death

    You haven't watched the fight have you ...you just read the result....Selby couldn't hit a cows ass with a banjo that night

    Your correct...it was.... But nothing about the fight was close..regardless of what the scorecards said...I wanted Selby to win...cos I didn't know who kambosos was n while I don't like him as a fighter..Selby doesn't seem a bad guy.... But he did nothing...his jab was over George 's head...by about a foot... kambosos didn't even have to slip it ..Selby was awful

    Tbh I wasn’t scoring it just had it on while I was eating some Cheetos and browsing the internet. But I remember it being close.

    Jojo talks allot about doing something but then get's in the ring and decides not to bring it, another "Talker Boxer"

    That doesn’t make sense, how is it boring and yet going life and death at the same time? The fight wasn’t as close as the commentators made it seem. Kambosos pretty much outboxed and outworked Selby.

    The better comparison is Kambosos vs Bey. I watched an extensive Bey Kambosos vs Haney breakdown the other day and everything I said beforehand about Haney's reasoning for taking the fight has been confirmed in both that and other interviews I've seen albeit I already knew it all thanks to my powers of perception and prophecy. Bey, for those of you who don't know, has not only been Haney's assistant trainer for a number of fights, but he also lost a SD to Kambosos when old, washed and after only having fought once in like three years. I haven't watched the whole fight myself so I don't know if the SD was warranted but I saw enough to tell his defensive style caused Kambosos issues. They feel Teofimo underestimated Kambosos, didn't have the right mindset going in, and fought a dumb fight which most agree with. So Haney is thinking if my assistant trainer can cause Kambosos all these issues with his style when old, way past prime and very inactive, then a younger much bigger than both Kambosos and Bey, longer and prime Haney can definitely beat him. All of which I, Serge, for the millionth time, correctly told you all again. Obviously Bey has been feeding him lots of inside info and tips about facing Kambosos too.

    Life and death doesn’t mean it’s an exciting fight. It means Kambosos struggled and barely got by.

    You even admitted that you barely watched it so you really didn’t have a clear enough idea of how the fight really went. Kambosos barely struggled, he won comfortably. The SD was another case of hometown corruption.
