Message: [QUOTE="JAXCUSE, post: 4276713, member: 516"] Congratulations to Haney. Undisputed. Travelled around the world to the defending champ’s backyard and took the belts. Boxing (used to) be this way. If you really wanted titles, you were willing to sacrifice “A side” money and advantageous location to get them. Go win the Championship. Then you get to cash in and dictate location and terms for your defenses after. Hagler did it that way. Ali did it that way. Arguello did it that way. Great fighters shouldn’t care where they fight. If they are great, they win anyway. Kambosos couldn’t do anything to Haney. No pressure or foot speed. Devon just superior in all respects; made it look easy. Poor strategy and minimal adjustments by the Aussie. Seemed George was using the same game plan he used against Teo. Except he was fighting a fast-handed, defensive oriented opponent this time. He timed Lopez with the RH. He couldn’t time Haney. You neutralize an opponent’s jab by jabbing him back. Kambosos needs a new trainer…. Like Teo Lopez, not sure daddy is the answer or knows what he’s doing. Something that bothers me about today’s game - infighting is a lost art…. Kambosos (and Roman - on the opposite Showtime card) need to watch some tape of the old-timers - 70’s Duran, Hagler, Marciano, Frazier, Archie Moore, Ruben Olivares, etc. Learn how to rapidly close distance, apply punch volume down then up and keep your opponent close…. Lightweight Roberto was one of the best I ever saw do it. Helps neutralize the quick footed, more athletic, fast-handed fighters. Great fighters can adjust and adapt their approach. Kambosos needed to go “Shawn Porter” on Haney, but couldn’t or didn’t know how. Not sure this does much to “clean up” the 135 log jam of young talent, but is a start. No need for the rematch - Kambosos should waive it off and go fight someone else. He looked ordinary, so maybe he can use that to “lure” a Garcia into a big money event. Haney is the Undisputed King right now. He (and Arum) control the Division. PBC won’t cross the street with Davis, so Loma (if he fights again) and Shakur are the easiest big fights to make. Both good ones. Maybe Garcia will play because he’s Golden Boy. We’ll see. Looking forward to Monster/Filipino Flash 2 on Tuesday (early AM here). Weird timing, but I’m watching. And looks like we’ll get Spence/Crawford in Oct. Overdue, but at least likely now. Can’t wait. [/QUOTE]
