Bob Arum says he is looking forward to matching Devin Haney with Vasiliy Lomachenko but Haney will need to get past Kambosos first.

The ONLY way Kambosos wins is if he turns it into a brawl. He showed some success when he turned the fight ugly, but I highly doubt he'll pull it off

GK needs to do everything he can to disrupt Haney and early. The first round or two will tell us a lot about his chances.

GK has been training and sleeping in his gym in Mortdale. He seems to be taking a much quieter, more insular approach this time around.

GK's trainer earlier in his career was Igor Goloubev, who is Tim Tszyu's uncle and trainer. Later GK was trained by Javiel Centero out of Miami but during the COVID period he was trained by local Mick Akkawy. I think Centero is still his main man.

This. They both fight the same, hands low while being athletic and fast. He needs to make the fight ugly

GK needs to coerce Haney to engage. Like Linares did late in their fight. Linares actually wobbled Haney in I think it was the 10th round and the bell might have even saved him.

I believe this fight is close enough to a sellout. Not many tickets left.

Marvel is a football stadium and holds about 50,000. The official attendance for the first GK-Haney fight was 41,129 and apart from Horn-Pacquiao is the biggest boxing crowd in Australia perhaps ever.

Rod Laver arena is the venue for the Australian tennis open and has a capacity of about 15,000. For boxing it is a much better venue and unless you are obstructed by corner padding there isn't a bad seat in the house.

I couldn't find more than a round or two for GK. He finished either round 1 or 2 very strongly and had some other brief moments but Haney is a machine. GK tried switching, shoulder rolling and everything else he could think of but Haney is another level.
