What up what up? What up welcome back! Welcome back to another episode of the scorecard the boxing scorecard, where ask people to come with your scorecard and an explanation, not just your opinion.
Uh last night we had the big unification at 135 135 pounds between devin haney and george cambosis um.
A lot of hype coming up to this fight right here, uh we’ll show the tale of the tape in a second here, you’ll see both guys their ages and weights and uh and their records here we go.
Haney campbell is from australia haney from the usa.
Cambos is 28 years old in the prime of his career, physical and mental haney’s, still young, only at 23 years old um.
You know just a quick reminder: canelo was 22 when he fought.
Mayweather haney is doing some big things at just 23 years old right now.
Both guys were undefeated coming into this match right here and haney had a little bit of the reach advantage.
Um again so this fight, you know this – this show was called the scorecard last night.
There was no.
There was no need to to the score.
You know to score the fight with last night because it was a complete shutout victory for mr haney um.
My prediction before the fight was a unanimous decision for for devin haney um.
The only thing that i got wrong is that i i i thought george would actually put up more of a fight um, judging by his performance against tfmo lopez, who who had a big win against uh uh, who who defeated loma vasily lomachenko, who everyone thought was Untouchable lopez defeat beat him unanimous and george cambosis beat lopez uh pretty convincingly.
I think it was a split decision, but it was pretty convincingly that that cambodia’s one took the titles from from lopez.
So you know, judging by that victory.
Cambodia’S also has other good victories against uh um, former veterans mikey bay um.
So i was expecting uh, the greek guy that lives in australia to put up a better fight, but any just a complete shutout.
I mean i’ll go every round.
You know the score was 120 to 108, so it couldn’t be more perfect scorecard for haney um, and it was really the educated jab that uh that that kept that kept him off of him and after the fight you could see, cambodia’s face was really marked up, But it wasn’t like you know: haney landed a few right-handed and a few other punches, but it was really the jab that educated jeff.
What i mean by educated jab is that he wasn’t it’s not just simply standing up and just throwing it randomly.
Sometimes he would throw it hard.
Sometimes you just flick it out there for speed and george cambosis couldn’t time that he couldn’t uh.
He was trying to counter punch it like you.
Campbell’S was trying to land the same punch, the overhand right that he landed on lopez, but it was never there for for him, because haney’s jab was just so fast um getting in and out and sometimes when he wouldn’t make it fast.
You just make it hard hard enough to make george’s head snap back that by the time he was ready to come back.
Haney was already gone, so the jab 100.
The jab is uh is the main thing, one of the only things that uh that that haney needed in this fight just to go through each round real quick.
You know round one haney, educated, jab, cam.
Obviously, looking for the overhand right uh round, two cam landed something yeah, that’s the other thing too, because the cam landed he might have landed one or two pounces once in a while that made the crowd go wild just because that was the only thing close to Remotely landing something um, so anytime cambosis, you know, threw a punch.
The crowd was going crazy, so you got to be careful not to not let the crowd influence your decisions when you’re, when you’re scoring a fight, um haney with that perfect jab round three haney already on cruise control winning clearly, but you have to be careful.
So i said it right going into the third round you can see that haney was was already comfortable.
Like i said on cruise control, only problem is when you’re on cruise control, just like.
If you’re driving, you know on the 401 on cruise control, you can’t just fall asleep.
You still get into an accident.
So when you’re on cruise control in the boxing ring, you still have to be on point like on cruise control.
Just means that you know you’re you’re, you know you, you can just feel yourself relaxed.
You know, you’re, not you don’t have to put output put as much energy into into your efforts and what you’re doing um, but you still have to be careful.
So that’s that’s.
What i wrote for round three round four again no close rounds round four cam losing haney still got ta be careful.
This is worse than i thought, um worse than i thought, because, like i said, i was expecting cambodia to put up more of a fight round.
Five haney popping popping and up jab popping up that jab um fight is boring for some people.
I’M gon na mention something specific about people that call fights like this boring something specific that i want to get out here.
Here’S a picture of that jab.
Now this this specific picture right here, you know it was right after the fight that so i didn’t get it.
There wasn’t too much action pictures of haney versus cambosis, so this is not cambodia’s, but i really, i specifically wanted to add this picture in here.
So you can see how perfect haney’s jab is like this was this fight was against jojo diaz jojo, look jojo diaz has his hands up, he has his hands up properly and and haney was still able to to stick that jab in there.
That’S how perfectly educated this guy’s jab is uh round six um right see this.
It was so clear.
I started making comments about other stuff round six.
I wrote 40 000 people in attendance and it’s quiet.
It was up.
It was actually close to 50 000 people.
They said they had in that stadium in australia and it was quiet, um, that’s quiet for the hometown, the guys.
So you know you’re doing good.
If you’re, the guy from out of town round seven um, the only significant punch that landed was uh was fu educated, jeff manny.
This is extra unanimous round eight uh bradley, really hoping for cam yeah.
That’S the other thing tim bradley.
I don’t know he was.
He was really trying to trying to hope.
Uh um keep cam bosses in the fight by saying you know talking about what he could do or what he was trying to do, but it just was not working.
Anything cam was was trying to do you get to see the discouragement.
Is that a word anyways? You can just see him get more discouraged as the fight was going on um.
Let me skip a couple rounds here, because it was basically the same thing over and over again round 10 cam trying to cheat hold and punch.
That was the only thing he could do.
He couldn’t out back him to each other.
He devin haney threw a jab george grabbed his arm with one arm and tried to punch him with punch him with the other.
I was only close to to only think that he was close to landing a punch round.
11.
12.
I didn’t write any comments for that, because it was just clearly clear victory for for devin hayning um.
Now, what’s next for both fighters, it’s funny, because when you know when, when big fights happen, i think what a lot of people get is what uh, what we call uh or what is called recency bias so like whoever is the last person that people remember.
That’S that’s, who they’re gon na think it so last night, devin haney looked flawless in his victory against cambosis.
So you know everyone’s saying you know devin’s the man at 135.
I don’t see anybody beating him blah blah blah, and it is true that me personally, i don’t the only person i see giving him trouble.
Actually, no there’s a lot of sharks at that at between 135 and 130.
So, but he’s definitely at the top of them and shaker stevenson, tank um and then, of course, talking about recency bias.
Last week, tank uh uh um had was losing actually like.
I said he was losing that fight to rolly, but just like 90 of his other fights, he came through and knocked him out at the end um.
So you know everyone’s talking about tank being the man at 135.
A couple weeks before that everyone was talking about cambosis.
You know nobody was talking about cambosis, but after before he eat that lopez before lopez fight.
Nobody was talking about this guy george cambosis, all right.
He beats so he beat the man who beat the man, and so he felt that he was the man and to to a lot of the boxing community.
Um they felt cam bosses was uh was a big player.
I don’t know i i i don’t like to put guys on that pedestal.
Just after one big victory um, it was a big victory, but you got to be a little bit more consistent before you know you, you get considered up there with the upper echelon, guys um and then one more thing about the recency bias thing you know, even With the with uh uh, earl, spence and and crawford you know, and spence was the last one last one in the fight he broke oogasa’s face so everyone’s saying, yeah, earl, spencer, spence right before that terence crawford was the only person to ever stop sean porter.
The only person to stop sean porter so everyone’s late, so when that happened, everyone’s like yeah, crawford, crawford or spencer recency bias.
Anyways back to this fight now um.
I want to go back touch on something that people call flights like this boring.
I don’t you know to be honest, i don’t i don’t find them boring.
Maybe if you’re, you know to the crowd that wants to see you know a street fight, it’s boring, but i i see it as an educated boxing lesson and i i want to give the example of baseball anybody that watches baseball out there.
You know um if a pitcher is in the middle of throwing if a pitcher throws a [ __ ] out, you know, baseball eating is nine rounds right.
If it’s going into like the sixth or seventh round and the pitcher is throwing a a no-hitter, you know they start to celebrate that you know you look at the bottom of tsn or espn they’ll stay at the bottom, so and so going into the eighth round.
Pitching a no-hitter people celebrate that, but you know if, in the same, even though there’s no offense, because you know i want to see home runs, you know, people on base, stolen bases, triple doubles and triples.
There’S none of that when someone’s pitching a no hitter right.
It’S just straight: strikeout, strikeout, shrek i’ll go sit down, go sit down no one’s getting on base, but people people treat that that tree that, like that’s something exciting.
So that’s what i want to bring to boxing.
I believe that um that when you’re watching greatness, when you’re watching a flawless uh performance from a boxer, i don’t think we should be calling it boring.
You should be.
You know embracing the the flawlessness um that you do not see that, often, especially when it’s two fighters at the top level.
You know it’s one thing: if it’s a mismatch, when it’s a a very good guy against someone that maybe probably shouldn’t even been in there with him, but when it’s two guys at the top ten top five remember.
Cam bose is the one that had all the belts going into this cambosis is the one had all the belts, uh, i’m sorry haney had one belt and people call them an email champion, because the re, the only reason why i got that belt is because lomachenko Uh um vacated it that’s a whole different other story, but people were people.
A lot of people in the boxing community were not respecting devin haney’s belt because they that’s a whole other story.
Anyways going into this fight cambodia’s had the the the major belts and devin haney pitched a no hitter devin haiti pitched a straight up, no hitter for nine rounds for 12 rounds.
I should say, and that should not be looked at as boring.
It should be looked at as celebrated as a flawless uh, um educated boxing lesson, those those are those are.
You know things like that, if any coaches out there, when you want to show you if you’re trying to teach your you know any your boxer, not just novice, but even the open class experienced boxers how to properly use your jab.
You know it’s one thing to do it on pads: it’s one thing to hit the hit the bag and do a whole round just on jabs and that’s another thing to actually be able to execute an educated jab at the highest level against top competitors.
And that’s exactly what uh devin haydee did last night, so much respect to him um.
What else do i got my notes here? Uh, oh yeah, there’s um.
There was a rematch clause in this uh in this fight.
I you know, even though there’s obviously no need for a rematch um.
There is a rematch clause in the contract, so it’s gon na be interesting to see how how that goes.
Um, there is a possibility that um that they can devin haney’s camp can ask cambosis to take what is called step aside money.
So, basically, what that is, is you know we we might, even though we might be already in a contract.
Actually, i’m not sure you know.
Obviously the contract stuff is a little bit icky, but it just basically like mean you could already be in a contract to fight.
But if i see another bigger financial opportunity that i can take i’ll come to you and say: listen i’ll i’ll pay you this amount of money just to get out of the fight and it might not be the whole amount you’re supposed to fight for, but it’ll Be a good chunk of it whatever if it was for five million.
Maybe i’ll give you two million step aside money, so i can go take this fight over here and make some more money and then probably come back later, so that that might be the possibility.
Um that they might offer offer campbell’s a step aside money, so they so that they can get bigger fights and, like i said at that, 135 pound division, a lot a lot of sharks from from from tank to to um to stevenson.
Well, stevenson, sugar, stevenson’s at 1 30.
, but you know uh, even someone.
This is what the any anybody that loses at 135 should should take on ryan garcia, because, even though he’s he’s he’s um he’s not really known in the past couple years for his in-ring performances, you know this guy’s more popular on social media that he is in The ring um, it would still be a big fight for whoever it is so for both guys, because because ryan garcia needs needs a significant fight to get his get himself relevant in at that.
At that 135.
Pound division right now he’s only relevant because of his social media.
You know he has millions of followers on his instagram or twitter um, but you know that that’s that doesn’t really translate into in-ring performance because you get all these people following you uh, but financially it does help.
So you know that’s that’s.
What’S keeping him afloat, that’s! What’S keeping ryan garcia float at the at uh right now in boxing uh? What else? What else man? I know? It’S still early man, it’s still too early for people in the chat.
Usually, usually i ask for people’s uh scorecards uh but, like i said last night was a shout out, so you know i’m assuming everyone had it like me.
Actually what i want to know.
I think one two of the judges had 116 and 112.
.
So that means they gave cambos as four rounds.
I would love to know which four rounds they were or if anybody out there gave cambos any rounds.
Please explain yourself and um.
You know unless you’re related to him or inside of this camp.
You were really looking really looking to to give him one or two rounds, but i can’t see oh no, i can’t see it and you know i.
I really try to give both guys a fair shot, but i couldn’t see it any questions.
Any boxing questions about this fight or any other fights coming up come on come on.
I know it’s early.
I know.
There’S a couple.
People watching somebody ask me some um, while you’re thinking of your question boxing’s in a good place right now, man boxing is a bit is in a very good place.
We have you know since uh, since the last, while vinnie ali wants to know who am i scoring next, you know what i should know the next week’s fight but uh, but i don’t so whoever’s the main event from from uh next week.
Vinnie, can you do that? For me, real quick, as i talk through, find out who’s the main event for next week and then we’ll talk about that for a bit um.
We do.
We have heard that uh that uh, spence and crawford are very close to to finishing their or you know, solidifying their fight.
Hopefully it’s going to be in october for one from what from what i hear and uh, that should be crazy.
One thing i always hate when, when you know just being in inside of the sport, i’m more inside of the sport than uh than than than a spectator, so a lot of times for the reason why i bring that up, because i want to say that i Always hate it when two guys that i that i like have to fight each other, even though they’re the two best we want to see who’s the best.
I just i hate when two guys that, like have to fight each other.
Oh yes, yes, on tuesday morning, uh nonito donaire is taken anyway.
That is a rematch from bo.
What both guys had a couple uh a little while ago, donaire’s a little bit older, 39 40 years old.
They just had a big win where you want to belt one of the oldest guys to win a belt.
So much respect to him, anyway, is a monster and um is on most people’s pound-for-pound list.
So this is a very tough test for mr donaire, who, who was on the pound for poundless about a decade a decade ago, himself uh, but still doing his thing uh, and that fight is on tuesday morning, like at 5 00 a.
m in japan, uh.
So the real die hard boxing fans gon na, be up for that.
Yes, i’ll be up for that, so that yeah i’ll be scoring that one, i’m not sure about live.
Hopefully i can get a good uh.
I can watch it but anyway, that is what we have for today.
Do me a favor, please, like this video share with somebody that hasn’t seen it yet um.
What do we got? What do we got? Vinnie rayeka, jorge torchy, is on saturday, so is do bra.
Brian, oh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, better beef, too, better be versus joe smith.
Yes, man, yeah man.
We got some great fights coming up in boxing better beave.
Is that that light heavyweight uh light heavyweight pound division? He is the number one guy uh.
The second person is dimitri, vivald, the guy that just beat canelo um.
So that should be interesting.
So if duval, if better beef gets through this fight with joe smith, i’m assuming him and dimitri bivall are going to get it on unless beval wants, uh can beval’s.
Looking at canelo like yo, what up we can do this or what we do this again, i can get a nice big paycheck and beat beat another, the the guy who is on a pound-for-pound list, so duvall is in a good place right now, yep the ball’s In a good place, right now, better beef is one of those guys that people don’t talk about, but he’s a quiet monster.
I mean, i don’t think he’s on social media barely speaks english.
He just goes to work, gets in the ring and seeks and destroys what better be this, but yet so there you have it the scorecard once again.
