    I see what's going on here in regards to Loma,in public they call him out and talk about how they will beat him ,and or knock him out ,then simply will not sign to fight him.One week after teo fight,George said he couldn't wait to get back in the gym and do the next fight and 3 months later he will not even decide who he is going to fight.In the words of bruce buffer IT'S TIME!!!

    Well done George. The rest of the world has no idea what growing up in Australia means, we are a unique country who produce top shelf athletes in so many sports, always punching above our weight internationally. George is another great example of this hard work ethic, self belief, drive & determination. The US is way too carried away with hype and BS, where as in Oz, we allow our greats to get on with it. I look forward to the next fight whenever and wherever it takes place as George will show he is a very deserved champion.

    Greece has won 163 medals (45 gold) in modern Olympics in 17 different sports. Has won Euro 2004 in football. Has won 42 international titles in basketball (club and National team). Tons of international titles in water polo. Has produced the likes of Pyrros Dimas, Lefteris Petrounias, Nick Galis, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kostas Kenteris, Maria Sakkari, Giannis Antetokoumpo, Mike Zambidis, Katerina Stefanidi, Giannis Kouros (the ultimate legend) and Anton Cristoforidis among MANY others. For a country of 10 million that's not winning enough? Very innacurate comment my man. Sorry but you couldn't be more wrong. Basketball alone has won Greece more than all Greek Diaspora combined.

    George, not once, not ever, said that Haney is next. Go ahead. Prove me wrong. You can't. *PERIOD* . He said that he's going to do what makes sense. That's it. *Full Stop* . Lomachenko is a bigger fight. Sure people will go to the stadium this spring to see Kambosos. But the fight will be global, and with Lomachenko's global appeal, you'll get so much more money on an international PPV platform. It's a no brainer. All Haney has done is fight little guys or over-the-hill fighters. Why? Because that's his level. He has to weight bully, and even then, he doesn't look very good, getting rocked by Linares (who had no trainer at that time) and have JoJo walk him down and expose his defensive holes. Devin "Hugs" Haney should be called Hype-Job Haney.
