    Kambosos is the one who started the whole “fuck your 0” movement. The guy is fearless and doesn’t care what people think about him. Haney was gifted an email belt and defended it against nothing but washed up fighters and small fighters. Kambosos beats 2 former world champs in a row in their backyards, Beat the champ who was Teo in spectacular fashion IN HIS BACKYARD as well. Then for his FIRST title defense, he went straight for Loma and Haney. NOBODY at 135 was doing that shit. People try to credit Garcia for fighting Tank or they try to credit Bud/Spence for fighting, but it was really George Kambosos who started the fearless “fight the best and take the biggest risks” before all of them. I respect Kambosos more than Haney, Tank, Shakur and your favorite fighters.

    These guys trying to run with “Loma is a dirty fighter.” He doesn’t wrestle unless you try to hold. Don’t hold and you won’t have to worry about punches in the clinch. But the truth is that Loma is an inside fighter too, and he’s very good at it. There’s nothing illegal about that!

What George has in his favour is that Loma hasn't fought since last may so he might have some ring rust.

    Kambosos told Teo he would give him the re-match but he has to come to Australia this time since. “i already come to your backyard & took everything off ya “. Teo said no , and pick an opponent that we need to google search to find out who he is 😝. Teo was going to drop the IBF belt when Triller told him to go to Australia because they would have sold more tickets but Teo said NO. Kambosos is Teo’s nightmare, styles make fights & Teo needs a come forwards fighter so he can counter off , Kambosos told Teo at the press conference if I get you passed the 4th round you have no chance I’ll beat you . Pay attention to what George is doing to Teo in the ring , he takes a half step back let’s Teo miss then Kambosos counters Teo. After 4 rds Kambosos starts stepping towards him more & then started throwing the over hand right , Teo never adjusted to Kambosos over hand right even though you can hear Georges team screaming it out go over the top & Teo kept eating them till the 12th round . George knew Teo is getting tired Kambosos was very very well conditioned for that fight . Look at Sandor Martin he used Kambosos game plan take a half step back & counter him because Teo walks in with no jab he comes in head first or he jumps in lol like an amateur. Look at Ortiz he doesn’t even fight the way he fought Teo, he is normally a come forwards fighter he did the same thing with the step back & counter but he over did it with the running around . 1 thing you can say about Kambosos as shaken /wobbled as he got from Teo in round 10 he still didn’t clinch & run he was throwing back at him .a

    I think he should avoid Cruz for now. Cruz is just too strong and relentless for kambosos to be able to hurt him. Kambosos needs to perfect his footwork and ring movement so he can box perfectly without getting hit. I think Matias vs Kambosos would be a beautiful fight. Matias isn’t too big and has flatter feet than Kambosos. I can see Kambosos beating Matias out of everyone else. If Oscar Valdez ever moves up to 135, that would be a fucking perfect matchup as well. We shall see! I’ve never given up on Kambosos bc he started the whole “fuck your 0” movement and fights the best/takes the risks to become a great. Every great champion has losses bc that shows they took the risks and were fearless. I love Loma second to George but I am rooting for kambosos to win bc I believe he deserves it more than anyone. That being said, I wouldn’t be upset if Loma wins, as long as Kambosos puts on an amazing fight and makes it close. I believe in George bc he is seriously dedicated and obsessed with perfecting his craft, giving the 200% respect that boxing deserves. Haters can eat a wiener and continue to support these “pretty boy sweet science” boxers who aren’t taking risks or fighting the best. You can be the best technical boxer in the world, but If they’re not fighting the best and taking real risks, I will always respect a champion like Kambosos over them every day.

    We all do but Teo doesn’t want it unfortunately. George told Teo he would give him a re-match even at 140 lbs but it has to be in Australia since he already went to his backyard & took everything off him . Teo said no and chose Claggett who’s got 7 loses instead of doing a re-match that everyone wants to see & would sell well . But the clown chose a guy nobody knows & has 7 loses . After Teo’s next fight when he does shit numbers he will blame Top Rank as usual for him doing shit numbers when his fighting this guy instead of George.
