The old Jackal, Bill Haney, was in the Henhuis today, at a reconnaissance mission in Richardson Hitchins’ gym before his defense of his IBF Light Welterweight title against George Kambosos Jr. On June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in New York. Bill claims to be on vacation, but now he is back, he looks at the competition and stores knowledge for future opponents for his son, Devin Haney, to fight.
Haney needs a good victory to forget fans his shy performance against Jose Ramirez on May 2nd. The battle Bill and Devin thought they were coming against Ryan Garcia appeared to be in smoke because of the way they performed on the Times Squad card. However, Hitchins is not the opponent who needs Haney to regain his credibility. He needs someone like Brian Norman Jr., Jaron Ennis or Shakhram Giyasov.
Bill Haney: Scouting Mission
Hitchins (19-0, 7 food) fights against one of Devin’s victims, Kambosos Jr. (22-3, 10 COs), which he beat twice in 2022 to become the undisputed lightweight champion. It was the best victory of Haney, and he has not been able to level it in his three fights ever since.
In a very criticized step, Richardson rejected a battle against the former IBF 140-Pond Champion Subriel Matias in favor of a fight against Kambosos. The praise that Hitchins briefly defeated Liam Paro to defeat the IBF title in December in December evaporated overnight after rejecting to take a fight against Matias. Fans saw it as a duck, which is a fairly accurate view. If you reject a battle against subriel in favor of 2-3 Kambosos, there is no other way to interpret the move.
Hitchins tried hard to build Kambosos’s name to make him look more credible in the public’s eyes. He almost sounds like he is Kambosos’ promoter with the glass he did.
Richardson Hitchins: “No he doesn’t want to do that,” Hitchins said Fighting type When he told him that he heard that Devin Haney wanted to return to 140. “Since I (IBF Light Welterweight) champion, Haney has got the f *** away.”
Bill Haney: “I’ll tell you one thing. I was on vacation, but now I work back. I explore. Yes, I look at the champion (Hitchins). “
Hitchins: ’14 June I’m going to show him what his son (Devin) should have done to George Kambosos. What he did was cool, boxing and whatever. What I’m going to do to one of his son’s best wins, it’s going to be nasty. We’re going to wake him up with this battle, ‘said Hitchins when he told the Times Square card in New York, was’ boring’.
Account: “Just be careful. Eat easily, eat smart because kambosos are not easy to chew. Devin made it look that way. Kambosos is a good fighter. I expect a good game between two tremendous talented fighters, and I’ll be here and I go and see. But I’m looking for now. ‘
