George Kambosos only improved in the first round but once Devin Haney showed his excellent defense and sharp jabs, the Australian lost his confidence, became scared to throw volume punches and was clueless in the rest of the fight. His dad was frustrated but George cannot do anything, his heart was gone and the IQ and skills of Devin was on display.

If I were George, I will take an easy fight and retire. He earned millions each of his last three fights versus Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney twice. His life is secured.

I'm really expecting a much greater fight than their first encounter and thankfully, Kambosos made in interesting even just for a few couple rounds. He tried to be the aggressor this time and made use of his forte and he didn't back down, but Haney was just taking his time to understand Kambosos and ultimately embarrassed the latter when he found out his rhythm. Haney is just really different, I'm seeing that he will reign much longer because he is still young.

It was just his pride and heart that keeps him standing up, he is in front of his hometown so maybe he doesn't want to go down. Or if his chin is not that good, then maybe Haney doesn't have the power to knock out anyone base on his records.

But as you have said, maybe George has still something in his, perhaps moving to a new division. Or fighting again here and work his way up to fight for the belt in the future.

Yes, he can but in 2 consecutive losses for the title chase, it might take some time for him to make that call. There are more challengers that Haney may take while enjoying the luxury of being the title holder. I'm sure Haney will aim for more money to fight to make sure he will take advantage of his current status.

The win makes him superior, that defense and good counter really gave him that advantage.

Kambosos needs to reassess as he might adjust well, but Haney was ready to play with him and take this fight against him.

In short, Outclassed.
All-round scores were given to Haney and despite George Kambosos moving frantically, he still made sure his punches will connect to win the judges' scorecards.
The last three rounds were just making sure Haney gets the W, but I am amazed at how Kambosos was still standing after that beating. His chin is definitely strong as he can still land haymakers that would scare Haney's side.
He will be back, I am sure of that.

Yup! George Kambosos Jr. really improve but Devin Haney also did, and that improvement really is shown in their fight right now Haney has a lot of clean punches than Kamboses, in my opinion, George Kambosos Jr. really upped his speed but his reaction time of Haney was just impressive even I can not see it either if there will be a 3rd fight which for me is Kambosos really need to stop and focus on guys that are not Haney, and get that money fights before her retired or get into lower or another division, where he can get a title match, for me Kambosos is really far away from Devin Haney,


This goes to show how far Haney is now from Kambosos Jr. just like how far Naoya Inoue is now than Nonito Donaire is, this is just an example that I think how far Devin Haney is now, even though it is not a knockout win Devin Haney is dominating Kambosos in  every round,

And now Devin Haney has proven himself again, now what is next for him in his division, or will he be rising to a higher division to get a title shot,

And it just shows how great Haney is, I mean he saw what George is trying to do in the first couple of rounds, and so he adjusted and uses his boxing IQ to outwit Kambosos and then elevate his game to the next level.

Just like that he turn the fight around and dominated George for full 12 rounds and blood in Kambosos face shows that Haney really put everything in this fight.

Yeah, Haney adjusts so well and he manages to quickly overwhelmed Kambosos. I was in the impression that Kambosos will be able to break the defense of Haney, but it's just in a few rounds, but afterwards Haney easily read his strategy and start to counter him. At the end of the day, Haney wins it and defends his belt.

Again, it's Haney's technical skills that bring him on top, good adjustments with a high IQ he acknowledge what Kambosos is trying to do.

Winning this fight gives him the upper hand to make more money in his future fights.

Just as expected, Kambosos is not gonna make some difference in their rematch but he manage to improve, started strong and aggressive. Unfortunately, that didn't last and Haney overwhelmed him with clean shots where Kambosos expected it the least. Haney was just to quick to react and counter every movement of Kambosos.

I usually had limited interest in woman's boxing there are only a few fights that I am watching but including the Shield, VS Marshall fight in London seeing this event both women fighters are undefeated, which is why I am intrigued about both of them and I think that Katie Taylor has the most experience of the two for having 21 wins 6 Knockouts, while Karen Elizabeth Carabajal has 19 wins and 2 knockouts, Katie Taylor has the advantage of with the speed and power while Karen Carabajal has the height and reach advantage, but for me I like Katie Taylor, winning this, she seems very versatile with a boxer that is taller than hers,


1st few shots of Wilder seem clumsily executed and I think it is an overhand punch that he immediately pulls out, while Robert Helenius is just charging towards Wilder without thinking ahead, while Deontay Wilder has already seen that opportunity and effectively executed his fast straight to Helenius that drops him instantly, I guess the power of Wilder is still there, or Helenius just doesn't have the durability to withstand it, for me seeing this fight on paper already gotten to my head who's really going to win and I wasn't wrong Helenius is not that well known, and he takes the Deontay Wilder fight, but well Wilder is a huge money for him that is why he accepted it,

More looked like a partial cross or overhand to me. Wilder did not even straightened his arm and that punch looked a bit clumsy. But that was enough to put Helenius to sleep
Btw, Wilnder and Helenius are formed sparring partners. It is strange that Helenius was so open and straightforward, as he knows Wilder well. Just a small maybe - maybe they agreed that Wilder will knock him out, but not in a brutal way. So that is why that punch was a bit clumsy and I expect not a full power. But still, that it just my "maybe". 

Upcoming Boxing match next week I know many are well known fighters but it is still a boxing event,

That was a right straight it doubles the punching power because Helenius is moving forward.  As I expected, Helenius will be caught by counter since he is way too open after throwing his punches.


With the way Helenius leave himself open after throwing punches, it would be an easy 1st round KO for a power puncher like Wilder.

Yes, it was not a jab, it was really a power punch, however ,what is scary is that he didn't even put 100% on that shot and yet we see how powerful it was as Helenius went to the canvass. And with that kind of power, anything is possible, round 1 or round 12.


Leading up to the fight, this 2 really hate each other and I will say that it was a back and forth fight. Until Plant hit him with that left hook, both of them throwing at the same time, but it was Plant that connected first with that solid hook. Reminds of Nonito's destructing left hook during his prime. Possible candidate of knock out of the year, together with Wilder's knockout of Helenius.

Deontay Wilder do not have the best boxing ability but the man is blessed with enormous power. It was not a jab, it was a short right but more than enough to put Robert Helenius to sleep. Helenius was only a come-back fight for him. Ruiz name was mentioned as next. If not Ruiz, I like Wilder to face all the number one ranked of the four major belts, Joyce, Dubois, Hunter and Hrgović.

I came to watch the other fight between Caleb Plant and Anthony Dirrell. I was hyped by the build up, they hate each other. In the fight Plant planted Dirrell to the grave. What a masterful attack by Plant to deliver that KO.

On cameras, that right punch does not even looked scary. Just a jab. But it was enough to drop Helenius down That only shows that both fighters are on different levels. Helenius was to slow for Wilder. Where Helenius throw single punch, Wilder answers with changing position and 2-4 punches. I knew that Wilder would drop him down, but I though Helenius would last at least 2-3 rounds. Instead it took less than 3 minutes

Handlers are just waiting for some noise and will follow to what the fans want them to see. I see the chances that they will going to settle this once the negotiations take place and they will start to workout. Not sure though if after that long break he can beat another good fighter, I will go with the above opinion, it's better to take a little step before challenging a great fighter, it will be good for him to create hypes for his career.

Afterwards, once he feels that he is really on the right track, I mean if he feels that he's back in right shape, then challenging a known fighter will be a win-win for him and to the promoters that will take the fight.

Surely, Deontay Wilder, has that power in his punch that could 1 hit OK anyone, even Tyson Fury but Tyson Fury just snap out of it and recovered fast enough to retaliate, and additionally, Robert Helenius is not that kind of a big deal of a boxer, so it is really expected that Deontay Wilder will win this one, and he did in just 1 round he make a big knockout on Helenius,

---

Here is the result for the Devin Haney VS George Kambosos Jr.

Devin Haney VS George Kambosos Jr. ROUND 12 DECISION - WON

It was a war Devin Haney has many more clean shots than Kambosos that is for sure, but surely he can not underestimate Kambosos Jr. that withstands his flourished of punches and George Kambosos Jr. doesn't have much head movement, not like Devin Haney that has a lot of head movement, and the timing of the punches more technical and so Devin Haney really won this match,

Indeed it was too fast.  The fight is finished even before the audience had warmed their sit.  Deontay Wilder really shows the fans that he is still able to do the 1 punch KO.  If we look at the face of Helenius after he was KO'd, it is somehow worrying and it is the face that shows he doesn't know what hit him.  Gladly Helenius is fine and is able to walk down the ring without any issues.


All respect to Claressa Shield in beating Savannah Marshall despite of being the smaller boxer between the two.  Marshall is a heavy hitter, and Shield being able to absorb those punches and be able to out-box Marshall and win the fight is an extraordinary feat.  The camp also did a great job in scouting Marshall's flaws and training Shield to exploit those flaws.  I believe the controversy in their amateur fight can now come to a close.  Claressa Shield had proven that she is the better boxer.

As far as I can remember, they have verbally agree to fight next, but who knows, plans might chance. I wanted to see Wilder fight Andy Ruiz though, we have seen Ruiz winning against an old Ortiz. And so to shake things up, Ruiz vs Wilder might be good to watch to next.

Or maybe he can go and fight Joshua as well. This fight should happened years ago when they are still in their hype and haven't tasted defeated. But I guess the fans still demand for this fight to happen.
