Haney will definitely be undisputed which is incredible. (Also, is it me or is undisputed seemingly easy to achieve right now even in this 4 belt era??? Feel like there’s been so many potential undisputed matches recently and a few more coming up. Weird and crazy. I like it but I feel like I want it to be a bit more rare lol)
I still have my reservations about Haney though. Not because he’s not the biggest puncher. Just feel like even though he’ll become undisputed by beating Kam, it’s not like a real notable win. Kam beat an injured Teo who shouldn’t have even been fighting that night. This is fact.
Teo had to fight Comey, Nakatani and Loma for his accolades and shot at undisputed. Haney becomes undisputed by beating Kam
Again, no hate, just feels like he’s becoming undisputed without really facing adversity. I felt that way when Bud become undisputed too. Not the fighters fault I guess though. Just wack circumstances.

Haney should win this

The build up / negotiations have been interesting.
Is it Haney camp that refused to fight in Australia initially? Haney suggested as such in the first go round, but then accepted whatever offer was possible on the second set of negotiations?
Or is it that Hearn wanted a bigger chunk of the purse at stake and refused to negotiate for it to take place in Australia at all? Preferred Dubai or Vegas?
Perhaps all of the above?
One thing is for sure, Haney switching to Top Rank and the exclusion of Hearn/Matchroom in the second stage of negotiations was not expected.
Or maybe it's like some comments above have suggested that Kambosos is scared of Haney?
Maybe Kambosos is so scared of Haney that he chose not to fight a bum like 90% of recent world champions do after they win a title?

i hate this thread title so im changing it to be more descriptive
what made me side eye is Kambosos switched up his tune once he beat Teofimo...he went from im not undisputed yet until i face haney to saying he was undisputed and being led by dibella's bullshyt cuz dibella hasnt had a fighter be on top of a division in a while...they were going to freeze haney out and go after lomachenko until lomachenko stayed to fight in the war..so their hand was forced but they made sure to pull all the strings to make it more favorable since haney was a free agent and fulfilled his deal with Eddie..so devin having to take this messed up 3 fight deal to get what is a legacy fight and being the first undisputed lightweight champion since the great Sweet Pea is a sacrifice but i understand it
@ChocolateGiddyUp tagged you in this for convenience since @Agent Mulder blocked you and him as OP you wouldnt see the thread unless someone tagged you
you still turned out to be right , regardless of the circumstances, because I said this fight was not going to happen after he beat Teo.
No way I would have taken the deal, although it increases Haney’s status if successful.
it def does and devin is only 23 so gambling and becoming an undisputed champion at a young age will definitely cause good separation between him and the cats in his generation and/or division
Not a fan of the boy talk from Kamboosis 
Controversy
Superstar
Kambosos wild disrespectful
Georgie boy needs to be taught a lesson

On paper, absolutely. But again, Loma and Teo are levels ahead of him resume wise.
Haney will have to beat Loma or a few other top worthy lightweights to really convince everyone his status as undisputed is valid. At least that’s what I think. Naysayers will continue to lurk until he proves himself against someone worthy.
