Devin Haney became the first undisputed lightweight champion of the four-belt era with a thorough domination of George Kambosos. And he did so by conceding ...
Of course, this is assuming that the second fight plays out in a similar fashion as the first. The lightweight division is crowded and it can be argued that Kambosos lucked up when he edged out Teofimo Lopez last November to become the unified champion. Maybe things will change in the return bout, maybe they won't. Both fighters will be compensated handsomely for their time. The 23-year-old made it look easy as he tamed the rabid fans who came to see the homecoming of George Kambosos. It was an indisputable drubbing that left them silent for a majority of the 36 minutes as Kambosos head repeatedly snapped back like a Pez dispenser. None of those disadvantages mattered as Haney surgically dissected Kambosos behind a pinpoint accurate jab to cruise to a unanimous decision.
The Herald was invited into the Sydney fighter's inner sanctum before his world title fight with Devin Haney.
“I have to be aware of his holding,” Kambosos said. “I have to be aware of changing my angles. It will be interesting to see how he approaches the next fight. He fights for the right reasons. I feel like I’ve had half a fight — it was boring.” It’s most likely to happen later in the year. I wasn’t frustrated, but the ref should have done his job.” “I felt when I landed my punches he was hurt every time,” Kambosos said. “But the ref didn’t give us any help with the holding. Jim Kambosos and Haney’s father, Bill, exchanged a few heated words, an apparent reference to the trash talk between the two camps in previous days, but the two fighters were respectful. “It’s been a long time,” he said. “But how can I feel sad when the guy didn’t want to fight?

If it makes sense, if the network wants it, I’ll do it again. But it has to make sense.” “He fought this for personal legacy and he also fought it for the good of boxing and fought it for the good of Australian boxing,” Kambosos Jr.’s promoter Lou DiBella said. We had to take less money, we had to travel... There wasn’t really nothing else. I will bounce back hungrier than ever.” “If I hadn’t given him this shot, he wouldn’t have had his moment right now. As for where the fight would take place, Kambosos Jr. said he “loved” being in Melbourne but would leave it up to his team to finalise those details. “He had a jab but there wasn’t much else, I think he might have landed one or two right hands, but that’s about it. “They will come up with a game plan and if they’re up for it, then I’m up for it. True champions bounce back. George Kambosos Jr. learned a lesson on Sunday but if given the opportunity, the Australian would fight Devin Haney in a rematch bout “tomorrow”.

Absolutely “NyQuil” type of performance,” Garcia wrote on Twitter. “I want to take the best test, the hardest test and I’m going to give him full respect for his victory and let him have his time,” Kambosos said post-fight. Anyways I’ll just say, you know who I want after Fortuna!!! Let them have their rematch lol.
The American arrived in Kambosos' home country of Australia without most of his corner, but after his dad's late arrival he was able to turn the tables and ...
we made a lot of sacrifices to make the fight happen and it all paid off. Australia will be heading into winter by the end of November, when the tentative date is set for the rematch, and Haney has said that facing his Aussie rival again must "make sense". But the 23-year-old managed to maintain his composure and deliver a measured performance throughout the contest, working behind his jab to keep Kambosos at bay. Today they gave him the decision, but I’m sure it will change when we get it on again. His cutman Bob Ware was denied access entirely for a separate issue, meaning he had a makeshift corner team for the biggest fight of his career. He was told he must travel to Australia and accept a rematch clause in order to get his chance at undisputed.
