Not a fan of that fight tbh. Kambosos is food at 140 IMO.

I don't disagree with you, but you can't really blame him for taking the shots that come his way. He hasn't really taken a ton of damage besides in the Lomachenko loss, so if he wants to continue to fight on I don't have a problem with it.

He did fight Mickey Bey, Lee Selby, Teofimo Lopez, Devin Haney twice, Maxi Hughes, and Vasiliy Lomachenko in a seven fight span. Yeah, he lost three of those fights and honestly probably deserved a loss in the Hughes fight too. But he's a B-level fighter who somehow upset Bey, Selby, and Lopez in their home countries in three consecutive fights to become the unified and lineal champion of the world. Even if he never wins another fight, he's far exceeded any reasonable expectations for a guy of his ability. And maybe if he gets the right matchup sometime down the line he can surprise everyone again. Like how Kiko Martinez took losses to Frampton, Quigg, Santa Cruz, Warrington, and GRJ after his first title win and then, years later, ended up knocking out Kid Galahad for another belt. Nobody saw that one coming.

He gets these fights by his social media talk. He’s only had one good performance at world level against Teo. He lost every round to Haney and Lomachenko.
I actually don’t even think he beat Lee Selby to earn the title shot v Teo.
He should also have a loss to Maxi Hughes too!

Fair play to him, he must have earned a lot of money being Australia’s stadium fighter but as a boxer he’s fringe world level at best

I thought he beat Lee Selby pretty convincingly, and the only reason the scorecards came back close was because Selby was the home a-side fighter. The Mickey Bey fight before that was pretty ugly and could reasonably have gone either way, but I think you need to watch the Selby fight again if you think Kambosos lost that one.
