The boxing world has gone ballistic over Devin Haney win over George Kambosos! The American pulled off a dominant victory against the Australian fighter and earned heaps of praise from active and retired boxers alike.
Welterweight aces Errol Spence and Terence Crawford were overwhelmed by the performance shown by young Devin Haney, Crawford called it a “Shutout” performance:

Calling the fight a shutout is an understatement as Haney completely neutralized George’s offense and took every round available!

The American boxer has been lauded by his countrymen for beating an undefeated champion in enemy territory. The 23-year old Devin Haney has a long way to go but a championship belt at such an early age can only propel him to greatness!
