Devin Haney 28-0 (15 KOs) travelled half way across the world to score a lop sided twelve round unanimous points decision over George Kambosos Jr 20-1 (10 KOs) on Sunday morning at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne Australia in front of 40.000 partisan spectators. Haney conducted a boxing clinic throughout the whole fight, measuring Kambosos with a laser precise jab and perfect timing. Haney left no room for dispute and never allowed Kambosos any room to gain any momentum with a busy high work rate. The fight wasn’t easy on the casual viewers eye but served a purpose in crowning a new unified champion. Scoring was 116-112, 116-112, 118-110.
The official attendance number was revealed at 41,129. This makes this bout second biggest attendance in Australian boxing history. And stands as the largest attended fight ever in the state of Victoria ahead of the Azumah Nelson v Jeff Fenech bout from 1992.
A gracious Kambosos gave huge praise to Haney after the bout stating that he was the best man on the night but emphasized that this defeat had lit a fire of determination under him and he was looking forward to executing the rematch clause that had been put in place. Haney gave all praises to God and stated that he will fight anyone in the division if it makes good sense.
