^^ Yes, that's one of his biggest mistakes, he didn't let his hands go specially in the early rounds. And it's too late, maybe round 7 when he started to chase Devin, but Haney is already in the zone and comfortable, using his length so that George can't go inside. So if Kambosos will start hot like in the Lopez fight and swarm Haney, then he might have a chance to win. Otherwise, another easy fight for Haney, cruising automatic for a 12 round decision again and a place for a Loma fight next year.
This seems like the only chance that Kambosos has of trying to turn the fight on his favor, if he let Haney to get into the rhythm that he likes then he'll be in complete control of the fight and get an easy win, so he needs to get out there and try to get the win from the moment the bell sounds, now even with that kind of strategy getting the win will not be easy, but at least it will have a small chance to do so while at the same fans he will give the fans what they want.

Yes, one strategy that they might used in this fight and as I had said, Kambosos was successful doing that against Lopez in their fight, even knocking him down. And when Lopez try to rally late, George has build enough lead already. On the contrary, it was a opposite fight plan for him, he was slow and he started to attack in round 7. Maybe Haney's style is too difficult for him, or he really let Devin get comfortable. And even if this is a small chance as we see, at least he will have to try and do it. Instead of looking for a one punch knock out, which might not happen. So he needs to bring the fight to Haney, not that other way around.

Haney is different, he is very technical and he will not make a costly mistake that will make Kambosos capitalize. I think Haney is still gonna dominate here, his quickness and his defensive style is hard to break against a much slower fighter, Kambosos needs to be lucky in order to win here.

I agree, there's no doubt that Haney, because of his high boxing IQ can't make that costly mistake, but if we are in the side of Kambosos, we have to think of ways to win this fight. This could probably be like Floyd vs Maidana, wherein Marcos try to oerwhelm Floyd and become the aggressor throughout the fight and almost pull an upset in their first fight. He really put Floyd in the corner, did some him some dirty, (hitting below the belt, hitting him when they are about to be break up by the referee and others..). Not saying that he Kambosos should do that, but he needs to step us his game and throw more punches and not let Haney be in his sweet spot in this fight.

That's probably the case on this upcoming rematch and they surely have some reasons on why they exercised the rematch quite sooner than expected, we expected that Kambosos might face another opponent first before going back to Haney but that is not the case, maybe they have some idea on how to destroy Haney's game plan. Back to their first fight, I expected that Kambosos will start fresh and to be aggressive towards Haney all throughout the fight but we haven't saw him doing that, don't know why but surely that's one of the reasons why the latter didn't have any hardships defeating Kambosos.
