Kambosses v Lomanchenko tomorrow night.

I've lost favour in Kambosses. He seems to just play to the Media, the fame, the ego, etc - rather than to the 'boxing' itself, which was very apparent in his two arse-kickings from Devin Haney.
Lomanchenko should win going by his better performance against Haney, unlucky not to win.

Hi JaSin,
they're only in the lightweight division.
Your uncle could beat them up.

Funny how the smaller the weight division - the more punches they throw.
Maybe Heavyweights are lazy?

The smaller the weight division - the lighter they are so they can throw more punches.

Brutal fight.

The Aussie George Kambosos is 5' 8.5" so a bit taller than the Ukrainian Vasiliy Lomachenko
but he still lost badly.

He seems to be focused more on being liked by the crowd and media than about just focusing on the boxing.
He just didn't seem intense in mental commitment, just like both fights against Devin Haney. To busy trying to please the crowd more than please the judges.

It didn't look like quality boxing to me.
It looked more like a pub fight.

Lopez now dominates the division - but Kambosos really did a number on him and was indeed more ferocious. Maybe being in a foreign crowd didn't affect Kambosos's insecurity of being liked, but he seemed more mentally focused and thus beat the bigger and stronger Lopez.
But since then, Kambosos seems to have been running on ego and personality more than skills and ferocity.
He really took it to Lopez who tried to dominate right from the start and ended up with a knockdown early.
But after this fight, I think it went to his head and became complacent against Haney and Lomanchenko.
