The sport of boxing has enjoyed an incredible set of fights this week as Naoya Inoue challenged Stephen Fulton Jr. in Tokyo, Japan and Seniesa Estrada returns to the ring in Sin City. Above all else, all eyes will be on T-Mobile Arena tomorrow night as Errol Spence Jr. meets Terence Crawford in the center of the ring. At the end of the night, one man will walk away as the undisputed welterweight champion.
George Kambosos Jr. knows a thing or two about being an undisputed champion. On November 27, 2021, he upset Teofimo Lopez and grabbed the undisputed lightweight title. However, he turned around and lost all four belts to Devin Haney on June 5, 2022. Having landed on both sides of an undisputed title fight, the Australian fighter shared his thoughts on the upcoming welterweight showdown.
“Hell of a fight. It’s a 50/50 fight. I’m always continually going back and forth with myself thinking, ‘Spence does that well, he get the edge. No, Crawford does that well, he can get the edge on Spence.’ Both guys are tremendous fighters and that’s why it’s such an intriguing fight,” Kambosos Jr. said when asked to share her thoughts on the fight.
“I really can’t pick one. I really can’t pick who’s gonna win this fight and that’s gonna draw the fans to this kind of fight. Spence is such a good body puncher, he’s big, he’s strong, he holds that defense nice and tight, but he did get caught by Ugas…he got caught, he look like he got hurt. But then again, Crawford, such a good switch-hitter, can hurt you from any position. But, again, you’ve seen in his career as well he’s been hurt and he did get dropped.”
Kambosos is not the only person who believes that Saturday’s fight will be extremely close. DraftKings have both fighters listed at nearly even odds as Crawford leads with a slight -155 betting edge. Either way, both men will have the opportunity to prove their supporters right and their doubters wrong.
