The legendary American commentator, member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame Bob Sheridan shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight for the title of absolute lightweight champion (up to 61.2 kg), in which on June 5 in Melbourne (Australia) the local WBA / WBO / IBF title holder George Kambosos will fight (20-0, 10 KOs) and American Devin Haney (27-0, 15 KOs), who owns the WBC belt.
Bob considers his compatriot the favorite, but leaves a chance for the Australian to win.
“George Kambosos is the best Australian fighter in a long time. Haney is a great fighter and is the favorite in the upcoming fight, but I’m giving Kambosos a puncher’s chance to win, ”says Sheridan.
“Haney moves incredibly well, he is tall and fast, a very good fighter. At the same time, Kambosos has the advantage of native walls, and Haney has a lot to adapt to. Still, when a foreign fighter goes to Australia, there are many distractions for him, ”the specialist noted.
