Published

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.

Zab Judah sees only one winner in Devin Haney vs Keyshawn Davis fight: “No disrespect”

Rumors of a fight between Devin Haney and Keyshawn Davis have surfaced once again, but if that fight were to happen, two-division world champion Zab Judah admitted he only sees one winner.

After this fight, Davis challenged Haney to fight for Haney’s WBO welterweight world title in January by knocking out Jamaine Ortiz and although the master seemed interested at first, whispers of their potential meeting soon died down.

But after Davis won a unanimous decision in his rematch with Nahir Albright on Saturday, Haney took to social media to renew his interest in facing the Norfolk-born former WBO lightweight champion.

Although talking to MillCity BoxingJudah, who is Haney’s godfather, stated that he does not see Davis beating “The Dream” at welterweight, where the champion’s greater size would make him the favorite.

“I like Keyshawn, Keyshawn is a great fighter. I thought he had a great performance last night, but Keyshawn can’t beat Devin. No way, not now, not at 147 pounds – no way.”

“No disrespect and no looking at Keyshawn, he’s my little man, I rock with him, but based on what we saw last night, I don’t know. [if he can beat Haney]”

“I wouldn’t say it’s an basic job, but I would just say it’s food and we’re going to eat it.”

Haney has been linked to a rematch with Ryan Garcia, who is now scheduled to face Conor Benn instead, making Davis the favorite to make Haney’s first defense since becoming the 147-pound world champion.

“And as far as his skills go, I think he’s just one step away from being perfect. He does everything well,” Keyshawn said. “He doesn’t have anything great in his arsenal. Everything is just fine. That’s good. That’s good. That’s good. Which makes him a good fighter. But he’s just not among the elite of the elite.”

The comments came during an appearance on the “What’s Up That Podcast,” where Davis spent much of the interview discussing Haney, Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson and the effects of losing weight following his canceled fight with Edwin De Los Santos last year.

Keyshawn said he approached Bill Haney earlier this year about making this fight happen, but he believes the other side has gone serene since then.

“You may have seen this video before. Me and Shakur walked up to Bill at the weigh-in for the last fight in January. Long story brief, I thought, ‘Hey, we’re going to fight this year, right?’ He said, ‘Man, mind your own business.’ I said, “I’ll mind my own business.” Will we fight this year? He said, “Just keep your word after the fight.”

Davis then said:

“Why don’t I fight Devin now after the fight? If you want to call it a duck, call it a duck.”

He also asked if Haney has looked the same since his loss to Ryan Garcia.

“Don’t you think he’s the same? The world doesn’t think he’s the same.”

Still, Davis acknowledged that Haney showed toughness by continuing to get up during the Garcia fight.

“I have a lot of respect for him as a player. Fuck, it’s not basic to come back from that.”

The interview moved on to several possible future fights, including fights with Haney, Conor Benn, Tank Davis, and even boxing events with influential people. Keyshawn has repeatedly said he wants the biggest fights available and claimed fans are already demanding a tougher pushback against him.

When his long-awaited fight with Terence Crawford took place in July 2023, he brought three of his four world titles to the table, but would be dominated and stopped by “Bud”.

‘The Truth’ has not fought since then, but his return to fight Australian Tim Tszyu has now been officially announced as the Long Island-born southpaw looks to prove he still has a lot to offer.

Although talking to Main eventSpence revealed that after the devastating loss to Crawford, he considered retiring, but now believes that the inactivity has been good for him.

“I’ve definitely thought about retiring, but I feel rejuvenated. This long break has definitely helped me physically, it’s definitely helped me mentally and I’m ready to show everyone what I’ve done.” I stayed because I’m sure there are many doubters.

“A lot of people will say ‘oh he’ll be a shell’ or ‘he can’t come back’ but they always say that, eye injury, they said the same thing, car accident, they said the same thing, they’ll keep saying the same thing and they’re just adding fuel to the fire.”

Tszyu-Spence will take place on July 25 in Australia.
