It's never been easy for Kambosos as he is an underrated fighter. Even with his fight against Lopez where he won, the was the underdog that time, and he proved that despite being an underdog, he can still be aggressive like a champion.

And he beat Lopez that fight because he got into the heat of Lopez. The latter, loves to go toe to toe and that's what Kambosos wants. unfortunately for Lopez is that he could not land a clean shots on Kambosos, instead, he was the one making mistakes absorbing the counter punches of Kambosos. After that, Lopez move up and now dominated the current division when he is a champion.

And that was the only impressive fight of Kambosos, after that, he failed his attempt fighting another popular boxer which is Haney. however, for Teofimo, it was all success for him since he move up and just recently he was able to defend his title against Jamaine Ortiz.

Therefore although everything is on Loma's advantage, we can't underestimate a fighter that is hungry to bounce back. Well, literally, both boxers are coming from a loss against Haney, therefore we can expect that it's gonna be a war between the two.

I'm sure Loma will not underestimate Kambosos especially that the fight is held in Australia. Kambosos could get the support of the fans that will inspire him to win the fight. Loma sure understands it since he's been in many championship fights and he succeeded most of them.

Loma is a professional on the court, he takes his job seriously, he doesn't play around, so expect that what you will see is purely base on the game plan they are trying him to employ. Loma is not a volume puncher because his aim is very accurate, he conserves his energy well and only punches at the right timing.

None of the 12 voted for Kambosos to win the game. We can't blame them since Kambosos career was destroyed by Haney. I like him being desperate though as he just want to take the opportunity to go back on top again, he is not afraid to take a challenge despite majority if not all of us here believe he has no chance of beating Loma who is very technical as a fighter. I'm surprise that 66% believe it will be Loma winning by KO instead of decision, maybe they believ that the style of Kambosos would put him into a big trouble of getting KO.

The only chance he has is to train some new skills to surprise Loma but that'll be hard for him since a veteran fighter like Loma can quickly switch to counter whatever he prepared against him. Unless Kambosos is fast and powerful enough to shake Loma in every jab but that's not the case and we all know that he will be the one to take more powerful punches until he finally gives up because he can take those punches anymore. More likely the result will be like how Beterbiev defeated Callum Smith or it might gonna end earlier because the gap between these two boxers is way too far.

And that's what you love George Kambosos, he learn to capitalized even if he lost twice to Haney. And most likely it has luck has something to do with it. He is with Top Rank and so is Loma. And now that the belt is vacant, they are given a chance by the body to fight for it. So even if his career is destroyed, he can bounce back with just another win here. But it's not going to be easy, Loma is also on a way to recover from that controversial defeat and he has been dreaming again to become a champion since their first fight was cancelled because of the war in his native country. But Kambosos is a huge underdog but he might be looking at another performance that he pulled against Teo Lopez. So he is looking for a big upset here.

Kambosos says it's all about legacy, while Loma is still hunting his dream to be undisputed again. There's no disrespect from Kambosos here, even if Loma telling him that he lost to Haney twice.

So both agree that style makes fight, and so they are contrasting style and hopefully it will be exciting as we fans have been envisioning this. Kambosos aggressive and the Loma, techniques in full display. We can't wait for this.

Kambosos is made for Loma, Loma is good in countering so he will be an easy target and can score easily, Kambosos is a good boxer no doubt but his third loss is looming kambosos is not yet on Loma's level eventhough he beat the man who beat the man.

Both are desperate to be back on top again but like all the rest I see Loma's fighting style way ahead of Kambosos, the poll reflects what will be the outcome of the fight.

Lomachenko by KO    - 8 (66.7%)
Lomachenko by decision    - 4 (33.3%)

I've never seen Kambosos backed down on this previous fights. Although he is losing, he still keep going forward and try to look for the knock out. Boxers like him is fun to watch, but his strategy is quite not effective against a boxer who are already good when being pressured in the ring, as they know how to make the right adjustment using their quickness and IQ in the ring, that's why people call Loma being a technical fighter like Haney.

When Haney vs Loma faced each other, both are technical fighters, that's why it ended on a controversial decision.

I'm not surprise anymore since Kambosos is too careless when he attacks, so there's a huge possibility that he'll be caught up with a clean counter punch, and that could hurt him and will go down losing via KO. Or, Loma will find his weakness and Loma keeps attacking until he gets KO, either way, it still ends up in KO.

These two boxers were previously destroyed by Devin Haney and this will be quite an interesting fight because this fight is really important for them to continue to have career in the world of boxing.
So far, Kambosos has only been defeated by Devin Haney, so when he meets Lomachenko he will really be aiming for quicker win.

I beg to disagree with you mate as Devin Haney was schooled by Lomachenco in that fight but the judges see the other way around. It was a robbery at least for me and some of the fans of Loma here. Devin Haney refuses to give Loma the rematch that he deserves to settle the real score, afraid that in the rematch the judges would give Loma the win.

As for Kambosos vs Loma, I think this would be easy work for Lomachenco as he is very technical while Kambosos, though aggressive but doesn't have the power to put Loma down with just one punch.

I know that and indeed Lomachenco has punch that is superior to Devin Haney but in reality the jury gave points verdict that Devin Haney had unanimous victory, this makes many people feel that there is no justice but the referee decision cannot be changed by anyone.
We know how Devin Haney refused to have rematch, but it was refusal that was worth doing because if it really happened then there would also be chance for him to experience defeat and Devin Haney would definitely lose the belt or title he had won.
A boxer has the right to refuse any fight challenge that is given, but when there is rejection, he must be prepared to accept any conditions such as sentiments that occur among the public or boxing fans.
What is clear for sure is that Devin Haney has caused these two fighters to lose and that is victory that no one can dispute, we as fans can only judge it, not to change the outcome.

This is fight that is quite difficult to predict who will win the fight, what is clear is that Kambosos has chance for knockout victory but if it all comes down to the last round then I will support decision win for Lomachenco.

Yeah, George could be a tough boxer, but if he is against a technical boxer in Loma, who uses more foot work and then go with volume punching every round, it's hard to counter that one. Unless George become a counter puncher, but it's hard to be become a counter counter against one of the best tactician we have in boxing ring in Loma.

It might go to 12 rounds and that could be the best Kambosos and hope that some of the rounds is going to be close and maybe the judges awarding him the points. Loma has been in several controversial fights and it seems he has been receiving the short deal. Against Salido, Teo Lopez and then recently against Haney.

George is tough because he will fight until 12 rounds, he doesn't even looked gas because of his great conditioning, but it differs on the strategy of the fight, since he is not a technical fighter, most likely his strategy can easily be predicted. Since he does loss to Haney twice via unanimous decision, I don't expect him to give Lomachenko a problem.

Lomachenko gave Haney a problem in the ring although he loss, so George is like facing a fighter that are on the same level with Haney.

If his camp or team doesn't have a plan B, then it will be hard to beat a technical boxer like Loma here. I mean they should have learn from the Haney lost, that if the first strategy doesn't work, they have another plans and that is the sign of a good trainer.

I've seen great trainers like Roach or Teddy Atlas, rallying their fighters when their first strategy didn't work. However, as I have said, Loma's boxing IQ and his style might be difficult to anyone in boxing. And even in a lost against Teo, he is injured and try to comeback in that fight. Even at the Haney fight, we see him winning some rounds late and it could be a different outcome for some of us.

The strategy they have (whatever it was) against Haney didn't work at all as Kambosos loss to Haney in their 2 fights. It would be too easy for Haney to move in the ring while scoring on Kambosos since he is just moving in one direction, all he has in his mind is counter and attack, the problem is he could not catch Haney who uses the same style as Mayweather.

Here, Loma doesn't move a lot but his punches are very accurate, he doesn't throw a lot of punches but once he throw it, we know it will hit.
Hopefully Kambosos will be able to survive if he will let himself as a punching bag.

I agree, it's exaggerate to call Haney destroying Loma in their fight, scores where 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113. So it's not that he completely dominated that fight and others here thought that it was robbery by all means. It could have been a draw or even Loma winning this fight.

Style makes fight, and again if George Kambosos will not play defense and go brawl with Loma, it's going to be an early night as we can see Loma scoring a knockout.

That's likely be the outcome of the fight since Kambosos doesn't have to change his style, he'll struggle if he'll be a defensive fighter as he doesn't have the quickness, so rather, he will still rely on his power, will try to pressure Loma and hope he could score a knock out in the fight. Anything can happen, although obviously Loma is the heavy favorite, but just like what Kambosos did to Lopez, the same thing could happen there even at a slim chance.

Not so attractive for Loma's bettors. Thanks for the odds but I would just wait for the entire market of odds to be available. Besides, this fight is still 3 months from now.

That will be wrong strategy for Kambosos if he thinks he is the bigger guy and just bully Loma around. Loma loves fighter who bullies him as it brought the best in him, like Nakatani, when the Japanese tought that he has the reach and height advantage. But we have seen Loma's best fight that time, his footwork and technical and his speed was in full display that time.

So if Kambosos will do that and then realized that it's the wrong plan and doesn't have plan B, then I think it's going to be a easy fight for Loma. All night he will just pot shot Kambosos and for sure we will see George face in red as Loma will bludgeon it all night long.

I don't see him having a plan B in his last 2 losses. He faced Haney two times but the outcome was still the same. Haney who is on the same level with Loma, not seeing Kambosos here would be able to impose his bully to an experience technical fighter. Australian will be cherry for Loma, hopefully that will help him survive in this fight or win if he can, but I highly doubt that.

Kambosos is an admirable guy, he doesn't choose his opponent, and although he has 2 huge losses in his career, and yet he is still up for a challenge against a boxer that is viewed as better than him.

If his camp or team doesn't have a plan B, then it will be hard to beat a technical boxer like Loma here. I mean they should have learn from the Haney lost, that if the first strategy doesn't work, they have another plans and that is the sign of a good trainer.

That's what some boxing fans think. If Haney was really tough and a fair boxer, he should have given Loma a chance for a rematch and make sure he'll send the real message next time by beating Loma convincingly. Unfortunately, instead of doing that, he moved up and challenge the champion which is a good move too since he won the fight and now a champion.

We like to see a rematch between the two, we call it unfinish business but I highly doubt it will happen now that Haney had moved up already, and might move again.

On paper there's already a clear winner here. However, it's on the venue that Kambosos has the edge, so if it will reach to the judges, I'm afraid he'll be rob again for the 2nd time around.

These two boxers were previously destroyed by Devin Haney and this will be quite an interesting fight because this fight is really important for them to continue to have career in the world of boxing.
So far, Kambosos has only been defeated by Devin Haney, so when he meets Lomachenko he will really be aiming for quicker win.

I beg to disagree with you mate as Devin Haney was schooled by Lomachenco in that fight but the judges see the other way around. It was a robbery at least for me and some of the fans of Loma here. Devin Haney refuses to give Loma the rematch that he deserves to settle the real score, afraid that in the rematch the judges would give Loma the win.

As for Kambosos vs Loma, I think this would be easy work for Lomachenco as he is very technical while Kambosos, though aggressive but doesn't have the power to put Loma down with just one punch.

That will be wrong strategy for Kambosos if he thinks he is the bigger guy and just bully Loma around. Loma loves fighter who bullies him as it brought the best in him, like Nakatani, when the Japanese tought that he has the reach and height advantage. But we have seen Loma's best fight that time, his footwork and technical and his speed was in full display that time.

So if Kambosos will do that and then realized that it's the wrong plan and doesn't have plan B, then I think it's going to be a easy fight for Loma. All night he will just pot shot Kambosos and for sure we will see George face in red as Loma will bludgeon it all night long.

I don't see him having a plan B in his last 2 losses. He faced Haney two times but the outcome was still the same. Haney who is on the same level with Loma, not seeing Kambosos here would be able to impose his bully to an experience technical fighter. Australian will be cherry for Loma, hopefully that will help him survive in this fight or win if he can, but I highly doubt that.

Kambosos is an admirable guy, he doesn't choose his opponent, and although he has 2 huge losses in his career, and yet he is still up for a challenge against a boxer that is viewed as better than him.

I think he did try to change his strategy on the second fight with Haney, but it was that Devin was too good for him and that he tries to bring the fight and caught Haney early, but as the round goes, it's obvious that Haney's defensive skill and boxing IQ is above George. He pride himself in his interview on how tough he is, and want he learns during his sparring with the great Manny Pacquaio. And maybe he holds it dearly and thinks that he can still be a world champion again despite facing here the best Olympian turn pro boxer in our generation.

And we can say that this is a crossroads fight for both of them, the loser will definitely have to think of his career. 3 loses for Kambosos and he might not get another opportunity to become great. While Loma is old and aging, he might have a couple of fights in him, but still gonna be a hard road to comeback due to his age.
