In Thursday’s episode of “Deep Waters” on ProBox TV, analyst Shawn Porter offers a snapshot of Sunday’s matchup between former three-division titleholder Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr. in Perth, Australia. Porter believes range is the key for Lomachenko, 36, whom he says still has the explosive ability and sharp counterpunching style to compete at the highest level.

I wouldn't ask Kambosos to be Salido because he couldn't be. He isn't a mean MoFo like Salido. He can use his superior strength & stamina by making it a bit scruffy & nasty & just physical in close.
I honestly don't think his reach, & longer arms will avail Kambosos at all when Lomachenko has so much greater

Famicommander, I understood what you said! If I'm in Kambosos's corner, I'm saying 'crowd him, push him, shove him, make him feel you are the bigger, younger, stronger man'. If it comes to skills, Lomachenko just has better skills than Kambosos.

Nobody said Kambosos is the smaller man. I said he has to use his size and youth to bully Lomachenko because Loma has literally every other advantage (power, speed, accuracy, technique, footwork, experience, intelligence, etc). He can't afford to get into technical exchanges with Loma because he'll lose every one of those. He

Kambosis is not the smaller man I don't know how you came to conclusion Loma started at 126 Kambo has never been under 135., Loma just has to box at his level and he will win clear he is a class above George, the last fight versions of both guys see Loma stop him.

'Kambosos best bet is to keep his distance, box off his back foot (if he can) because if he tries to bully it will allow Loma to establish his mid-range and get into a grove'.
George isn't Devin. If he fights like that he is giving up all his strengths of size, youth, strength & stamina & he will lose. I tend to agree
