Richardson Hitchins produced the surgical beating of the former united featherlight champion, George Cambosos Jr. With a knockout of the 8th round to maintain the IBF welterweight championship at the Madison Square Garden theater in Novel York.

It was a controversial structure of the fight when Hitchins and Cambosos showed their bad blood during the week of fighting numerous verbal exchanges. But Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) recently laughed, knocking out Cambosos (22-4, 10 KO) with a shot in the body just a few seconds after screaming to the corner of the opponent to stop the fight.

It was a one -sided Hitchins performance, 27 years vintage, who promised to end the fight at a distance.

“I told the boxing world that I was coming and they should have heard,” said Hitchins. “I’m here now.”

32-year-old Cambosos Jr. He tried to become a champion of two divisions after he was a united champion of lightweight, when he upset Teofimo Lopez in 2021. However, he had 2-3 in the last five struggles with losses for Devin Haney (twice) and Vasiliy Lomachenko before entering the ring with Hitchins. It was a brave performance of Cambosos, but his younger and faster opponent seriously spoken him. According to Compubox, Hitchins landed 205 out of 398 stamps (52%), while Cambosos was able to connect only on 57 out of 384 hit, which is a low 15% clip.

Cambosos remained on the front foot early to get inside, but Hitchins used his six -inch advantage to control the distance, throwing stab and putting his right hand behind.

After two rounds, Cambosos already had injuries from JAB Hitchins with mice under the right eye. But Australian was determined and continued to move forward. Hitchins took advantage of Cambosos’s frustration, choosing his progress with a combination of impact.

In the 5 round, Hitchins wounded Cambosos with a blow and patiently cut his wounded opponent. It is only a matter of time before the opportunity introduced itself again, and Hitchins fully used in round 8.

“I part of the blood in the water,” said Hitchins. “I knew that I had to go to some threatening places to make good shots. I knew I had a good defense and I could do a blow. He didn’t hurt me, so I went to the murder.”

Hitchins opened the eighth round with his left hooks, which found their mark. Hitchins began to talk to the corner of Cambosos, asking them if they wanted to stop the fight before the left in the body, sent the Australian on canvas for good at 2:33.

“I told my father, if you love your son, you would stop the fight,” Hitchins replied when he asked what he said to the corner of Cambosos.

It was the first defense of the Hitchins title after defeating Liam Paro in December, and it was his best performance so far. After winning, Hitchins announced that he would be a free agent and called for the former undisputed featherlight champion Haney. But the WBO Junior D Junior Wadzka, Lopez, entered the ring and called for unification between them.

Hitchins does not lack the option of his next defense of the title, but that night the Brooklynite performance formally announced his arrival as one of the best fighters in the Junior welterweight division.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
