Australian boxing legend Jeff Fenech criticized the work of the corner of the now former world lightweight champion (up to 61.2 kg) Australian George Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) in the last fight for the title of absolute division champion against American Devin Haney (28-0 , 15 KOs).
Recall that on June 5 in Melbourne (Australia), Kambosos lost to Haney on points by unanimous decision. It is a pity that not (c) Lomachenko – report from WMMAA.
Jeff is convinced that George’s coaching staff should have been more active and demanding.
“If I were in the corner of Kambosos, I would yell with all my might. If you want to win, you have to strike, break through the series, – said Fenech. “George took a risk and was rewarded for it against Teofimo Lopez. And in the last match – no. They should have known how Haney boxed, how he got his way in the ring. He hits and tries not to miss back.
“But there was no perseverance in George’s corner, no one was in a hurry to go anywhere,” the specialist continued. – I guarantee you, if you say something to George with persistence, he is such a warrior that … They just told him to box. In 10, 11 rounds, he should have been told that all he needed to win was a knockout.”
Meanwhile, Kambosos is set for revenge: a statement after losing to Haney.
