As the latest absolute champion of the world professional boxing, Devin Haney is considered one of the strongest boxers ever appearing in history in the Lightweight weight class. That was shown by him through a series of 29 victories in his career, including 15 victories. But since winning the WBC World belt, Haney's play has changed.
Instead of overwhelming the opponent and trying to win the victories/Tko, Devin Haney recently used a defensive fight and won more points. That was shown when he won the first time against George Kambosos Jr, and Haney continued to be loyal to this tactic in the rematch that took place later 4 months.
Not hesitating to continue playing on Australia, the home field, Haney dominated against George Kambosos Jr with JAB attacks to limit the opponent close. On the side of George Kambosos Jr, he seemed to know Haney's tactics but almost could not counter when the opponent used this way to be too mature.
At the first meeting between the two boxers, George Kambosos Jr lost Devin Haney with the score of 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110 after the 12-round match. At this rematch, the difference between the score is even bigger. After 12 rounds, the victory belonged to Haney with a score of 119-109, 118-110 and 118-110, showing that Haney was completely overwhelming.
The victory over Kambosos showed Devin Haney's absolute power in the Lightweight weight class. He almost had no opponent at the age of 23, and Haney's mission after this match seemed to find a new opponent. In addition to Kambosos and old generals, Haney can choose to play in another class in the future.
