IBF Light’s Welter Champion, Richardson Hitchins, says he sees George Kambosos Jr. as a “Bum Achievement” And he will send it back to the “Club Shows” circuit in Australia after he expires on June 14 at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City. Hitchins (19-0, 7 kos) states that this will be Kambosos Jr’s “Last payment check” In sport.
Richness of Kamboos
If this is the last ’emperor’ kambero ‘payment check in boxing, it will be fine because it is already quite rich for its fights against Teofimo López, Devin Haney X 2 and Vasily Lomachenko. Kamboos JR (22-3, 10 kos) has made millions of those fights, and the only one of those four fighting he won was against Teofimo. That fight raided the way for George to be in the bank of his fights against Haney and Lomachenko.
Hitchins, 27, selected Kambosos by hand for his first defense of his 140-pound IBF title despite the fact that the Australian has a humble record of 2-3 in his last five fights, and one of the victories is very questionable against Maxi Hughes. In a true meaning, we are talking about Kambosos Jr. entered the fight with Hitchins with a 1-4 record since 2022.
Hitchins should be fighting a better opposition than this, like his subriel Matias mandatory of the FIB, the AMB champion, Gary Antuanne Russell, or the WBC champion Alberto Puello. Those guys would be a true threat to Hitchins. Then, it makes sense that he plays it safe, fighting Kambosos in an internal show promoted of the phosphorus room.
Rocky today
“I feel like a fighter, he is a vagabond. It is an consummated butt. I like to call the Rocky of George Kamboos today. Each fight is bloody, ugly, but he is a warrior, “said Richardson Hitchins for Ring Magazine About his next fight against former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. on June 14.
Kambosos has earned much more money than Hitchins in his career. It is not clear that Hitchins can gain the type of mass that Kambosos Jr. has without obtaining the big names to fight him. The problem that Hitchins has is his fighting style. It is similar to Shakur Stevenson, which is a guy avoided because it is a defensive and security type.
“This fight right here. He thought (Vasily) Lomachenko did something to him,” Hitchins said about Kambosos Jr. “What I am going to do in two months, it will not be good. After this fight, he goes to the club’s shows in Australia. He is finished. He believes in himself, but when he enters there, when you do not know.
No one doubts that Hitchins will overcome Kambero. It is an mismatch on paper, and it is a game that should not be happening. #3 IBF Kambosos does not deserve to fight for the title in 140 after just one fight in the lightweight weight division against Jake Wyllie, which is not a contender. A contender with a 2-3 record is not qualified to be challenging for a world title.
Best options
Again, Hitchins should be fighting one of the champions, Russell or Puerello. If they are not them, I should have chosen one of these valuable contenders:
– Subriel Matias
– Elvis Rodríguez
– Oscar Duarte
– Kenneth Sims
“Liam was talking about all that, but once he got there, he was nervous. Then, he will happen to this man. George Kambosos is over,” Richardson said. “This is his last payment check in boxing. After this, he has been here. Since the first time I saw him fight, I said it is not good, but I can’t take the credit. He is an indisputable former (Correction: Kambosos is a former 3-Belt unified weight champion. He was never the undisputed champion with 135),” Hitchins said.
