Highlights
Lopez (16-1, 12 KO) came out like a maniac in the opening round, threw a monster shot at Cambosos, who remained calm and patient, and left Teofimo injured late in that first round. Combosos ate some of Lopez’s good right-handers in that and the next few rounds, and just didn’t go away—as promised he wouldn’t.
Although Combosos was fighting extremely well, the feeling remained that Lopez was a heavy hitter, and that his power could knock him out of the fight. We saw around the 10th round when he dropped the combos and tried to put some pressure. But Kambosos fought deftly, survived and found his feet back. The Aussies won the 11th and 12th rounds, at least on our cards and, to me, it was very clear on both, and Lopez didn’t get the answer.
Jorge Combosos Jr won this fight because he was the better fighter in the ring tonight. There are no two ways about it, it’s simple and plain. He did the damage, he out-boxed Lopez, and he got him out too. Both got bloody and bruised, but Kambosos was the better man, and he deserves his belt and all the respect he can get.
Next fight
George Kambos will fight Devin Haney to become the undisputed Lightweight Champion on June 5, 2022.

Haney, 23, has an impressive 27-0 record and it will be another crucial test for the Australian, who aims to join Kostya Tziu, Lionel Rose and Jimmy Carruthers, who have achieved undisputed world champion status.
The deal with Honey also includes a deal for a rematch in Australia, as confirmed by the American this week.
Combos hasn’t fought on home soil since 2017, traveling overseas for the best of the division, often in his own backyard.
