Kambosos ain’t playing tonight! He knows he can’t outbox Haney. He has to make it rough fight! #HaneyKambosos

Kambosos switching stance but not doing nothing off the switch. Just switching to try to confuse Haney

Big difference is Kambosos more aggressive and keeping Haney off balance by switching stances. 1-1 now. #HaneyKambosos2

This fight is so hard to watch, they are so many uncalled for clinches. It’s hard to tell who the hell is initiating the damn clinches.

The jab was the main weapon for Haney in first fight. Kambosos upperbody movement & switching stances making the jab more difficult to land this time around. Smart adjustment. #HaneyKambosos
