He had the right to exercise it right away but we will know it soon if Kambosos and his camp definitely did the right thing for rushing the fight, we didn't know exactly what happened behind the scenes but it looks to me that Kambosos was a having a hard time accepting the reality and that he was overwhelmed by Haney.
I agree, he needs another fresh strategy to overcome Haney's technicalities because if he and his camp cannot find that something that might lead him the win he needed then I'm afraid that Kambosos is just adding the embarrassment he experienced earlier this year.
I really hope that this is more than sour grapes coming from Kambosos and there was in fact something that affected his performance in his fight against Haney, if that is the case then we may get to see a more interesting fight than the one that we watched previously, but even then I do not think Kambosos will have too much of a chance to get the win, however if those are nothing but excuses coming from Kambosos then the upcoming fight will not be really that interesting to watch.
When someone losses, there is almost the element of sour graping in them and think that they know how to avenge their defeat in the rematch. But it terms out to be not true, just like in Joshua vs Usyk.
And there will always be excuses if boxer is defeated, but let's see how George will responds in this rematch and I imagine that this won't be any shortage of trash talking just like in their first fight. But the thing is now Haney has the bragging rights and no matter what George says, it's going to bite him in the ass.
George can talk whatever he wants, but we will not forget how he was dominated in the first fight, therefore, for him to reclaim his name, he needs to fight well and beat Haney which surely is not an easy thing to do. I doubt that the skills of George would be enough to beat Haney, but let's give him a chance as this could be his last fight if he fails.
I also think that Kambosos should be given a good opportunity, because he is a boxer who needs to vindicate himself, perhaps everyone is betting on Haney but I think that Haney is undoubtedly what he has in preparation and in combat matters he has a great team in his shouldersw also, we cannot forget the experience he has, as every boxer has vulnerabilities, it is obvious but we must also recognize that he is a human being and that he can bring some mistakes that can be seen by Kambosos, and Kambosos has a lot to give , he needs to win this fight, I know that most bets will be in favor of Haney, but oh those who bet in favor of Kambosos and win.
^^ 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.
We can see that Haney is in fact the favorite to win this fight but if you were Kambosos how you would approach this fight in order to get the unlikely win? And it seems to me the only way to do something like this is by trying to bring the fight to Haney and make him uncomfortable so he cannot execute his better boxing technique, and even in that scenario I will give the advantage to Haney but I think there will be a slightly better chance for Kambosos to win the fight.
In the case of Kambosos everything changes, because if I were Kambosos I would not look at social networks or anything that had to do with general statistics, because I would simply be disappointed and obviously when seeing numbers and statistics anyone gets demoralized, for me Kambosos have a lot to gain, and Haney has a lot to lose if he loses, so for me this fight, if there is one, will be very interesting, because we will see a Haney who will be very pressured, and Kambosos as one of the boxers who will win the most if he wins, it is something obvious, because Immediately more opportunities will open up for him, he will have many more opinions of business models where he will always want the win-win.
