Andre Ward Says Kambosos Is A “confused Man” Facing Haney On Saturday

By Sean Jones: Andre Ward says George Kambosos Jr is a “pressured guy” heading into his rematch with Devin Haney this Saturday night time time at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. The instance might be confirmed withinside the U.S at 10:30 p.m. on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+.

Ward notes that Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) is making excuses, and he sees that as a horrible glance, particularly with him changing trainers for the rematch with Haney (28-0, 15 KOs).

Andre says that if there was a time for the former unified lightweight champion Kambosos to defeat Haney, it was in their fight last June in Melbourne.

That was Kambosos`s golden risk to conquer Haney within the entrance of an enormous crowd of 41, 129 at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Kambosos had no resolution for Haney`s jab in that fight, and he doesn`t guardian to have one for this one both. puzzled Man

With Haney working on his punching electrical energy and it`s fairly blank that his objective for this fight is to knock out Kambosos within the entrance of his private Australian fans at the Rod Laver Arena.

That would be the unkindest cut back of serious about Kambosos, then again what can you do? He`s up towards it fighting the more youthful, quicker, and dare I say further proficient Haney.

A moral victory for Kambosos might be him surviving the entire 12 rounds without being humiliated with a knockout loss within the entrance of his Aussie fans.

For Kambosos to appear the very final bell, he`ll go into survival mode early, and stink up the joint by means of approach of method of clinching, wrestling, and going for walks around the ring.

We`ll perhaps concentrate a variety of boos from the fans in attendance. The Rod Laver Arena seats 14,820 fans, then again it`s questionable whether or not or no longer that many will turn up for the fight as a result of Kambosos` disappointing loss to Haney last June.

Many fans jumped overboard from the Kambosos send, and so they`re now not going to return on Saturday to have a look at him lose once more.

“Haney and Kambosos, you`re calling the combat,” said Max Kellerman to ESPN. “Haney took the combat at the back of a dominant jab and tremendous boxing all over the first time. What do you anticipate withinside the rematch?”

“I anticipate Devin Haney to do the identical thing, however do it a bit bit higher this time,” said Andre Ward. “You should recognise that everything that Devin Haney added into the principle fight.

“He went across the world to deal with a time zone, take care of ruckus fans. Australian fans are exceptional fans because of the reality he didn`t recognise if his father was going to be there, his chief instructor.

“In the eleventh hour, his dad was in a position to get there. That`s a variety of emotional pressure and power {that a} fighter has to deal with on pinnacle of being in an important fight of your existence in the street in another country, and he handled that and took care of his trade.

“If Kambosos was going to get Haney, I guess it was going to be that night time time. I`m now not sure Kambosos can do lots further, Max. He`ll attempt more difficult, then again what can he do to be smarter?

“I don`t assume he has that during him. He modified running shoes. He`s making a whole lot of excuses, and after I concentrate to Kambosos talk, I see a pressured guy who`s attempting to find answers, and Devin Haney, I believe, goes to be the identical guy. He`s simply going to be loads higher the second one time around,” said Ward.

“Yeah, I don`t recognise what he`s going to do approximately that stick [jab],” said Kellerman roughly Kambosos. “Haney located that stick on him.

“How are you going to research to triumph over a jab at that degree with protective abilties in among fights while you simply were given absolutely outboxed via way of means of the guy? It`s a tall order,” said Kellerman.
