George Kambosos vs Devin Haney Odds Analysis
Undefeated in 27 professional fights, Haney has regularly enjoyed the support of sports bettors when stepping into the ring.
“The Dream” has sported negative odds in each of his past nine ring appearances, with sportsbooks tagging him with odds as short as -900 ahead of his unanimous-decision win over Joseph Diaz last time out in December.
Kambosos Struggling to Win Over Sports Bettors
George Kambosos’ rise to the top of the lightweight division with an unblemished 20-0 record has done little to improve his fortunes at the sportsbooks.
Barring a dramatic about-face in the final days before his clash with Haney, “Ferocious” will enter the ring in Melbourne as a betting underdog for the second time in as many appearances.
Kambosos was given little chance of success in his recent championship clash with Teofimo Lopez, pulling off the stunning upset win by split decision while listed as an underdog with odds as long as +900.
Kambosos vs Haney Betting Preview
If there were any doubts about George Kambosos’ ability to take a punch, they were allayed in his impressive performance against Teofimo Lopez.
A first-round knockout was promised by Lopez, but instead he found himself on the mat in the dying seconds of the first round, courtesy of a vicious right hand from Kambosos.
While Lopez continued to pursue the knockout punch, he struggled as the fight wore on. That opened the door for Kambosos to seal the victory by outpunching the depleted champion over the final two rounds.
Kambosos’ ability to survive the punching power of Lopez proved to be an eye-opener for many observers. However, he can expect to face a far more patient opponent in Haney.
Haney’s Game Quickly Evolving
Heralded as a knockout specialist during the early days of his career fighting in Mexico, Devin Haney’s skills and approach have steadily improved during his rise to WBC lightweight champion. Undefeated in 27 outings, the 23-year-old has claimed unanimous-decision wins in each of his past four outings.
Of course, Haney remains a threat to finish inside the distance. However, his ability to evade punches while wearing down opponents with constant barrages of jabs and power punches has earned him comparisons to the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Indeed, a career stat comparison between Haney and “Money” at the same age reveals striking similarities in record and method of victory.
Kambosos vs Haney Pick
Kambosos has plenty of reason to be confident heading into the first defense of his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and The Ring lightweight titles. However, his meteoric rise to stardom needs to be tempered in a clash with an experienced champion like Haney.
Some fans may be expecting Kambosos to engage in another slugfest. That said, Haney has outpunched his opponents in all but two rounds over his past three fights and enjoys an ample three-inch reach advantage.
What is more likely is a calculated approach by Haney to play the long game and steadily wear down Kambosos on his way to yet another nod from the judges.
