On Saturday night, Devin Haney was eager to step up and fly to Australia to face George Kambosos Jr. for the undisputed lightweight title. That choice paid off handsomely for Haney, as he destroyed Kambosos over the course of 12 rounds to capture all four world titles at 135 pounds. Haney is only the eighth boxer in any weight class to unify all four recognized belts, and he is the second youngest at only 23 years old.
The fight had very little drama, with Haney developing a great jab right away, preventing Kambosos from ever getting his attack going. As the jab hit, Haney threw a series of lead left hooks and straight right hands behind it, each one preventing Kambosos from releasing his right hand, which he appeared to have been loading up all night. In the end, Haney won by unanimous decision, with scores of 116-112, 116-112, and 118-110 on the official scorecards.
