All Hail Devin Haney
The Marvel Stadium was decorated in the best possible way. This was done to organize the fight and keep the spectators who had gathered under control because they were against Haney. Nonetheless, the result of the match was in favor of Haney.
However, from the first round, Haney put everything into the fight. From the first chime, he made clear what his strategy was and executed it in the best way he could till the very last second of the match.
The American started with the jab handling, followed by legs then threw the jab again and finished it off with the right. In retrospect, it appears to be simple, but it is tough to execute.

Haney Won Every Round

Kambosos clearly showed his weakness of being unable to do something when his opponent’s defense is this strong. Haney seemed to have exposed Kambosos in front of the world.
