The 23-year-old’s unbeaten professional boxing record also remains intact, now at an incredible 28-0.“I handicapped him of his best things, he wanted to land an overhand right hand and he wanted to land a big left hook, I handicapped him.”
“I take my hat off to him because he’s a true warrior, it was nothing but respect throughout the whole buildup.” However Haney showed a Mayweather-like ability to avoid the big punches, while his lightning quick left jabs kept landing accurately all fight long.“He didn‘t want to come to fight too much, I have to change a few things and I will get him back later this year,” Kambosos said./“It‘s amazing for the sport. I wanted to take the biggest test and he gets my full respect.“I landed a few shots, but he had a smart game plan and did what he had to do to win. He got the decision and respect to him.
