Richardson Hitchins defends the unpopular George Cambosos Jr., aiming to strengthen the faded former champion ahead of the conflict in June

IBF Light Welterweight Champion Richardson Hitchins is working hard to strengthen George Cambosos Jr. reminding the fans of their past achievements to create a buzz for their June 14 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. The event will be displayed He lives on a given.

Fans were predominantly critical of this fight, watching Hitchins (19-0, 7 ko) as handmade a pale former unique champion in Cambosos (22-3, 10 KO), who enters the fight with 2-3 fights in the last five fights. For this reason, he is 100% unworthy of a title, and only fought once when he moved to 140. It was against the second level fighter Jake Wyllie.

Justifying the choice of fighting Cambos

Hitchins says the victory against Cambosos will “strengthen” their name in the boxing world. Sounds naive. Cambosa beating will not do anything for Hitchins. He was better off to give Liam Paro -to give a rematch or fight Oscar Duarte, Sandor Martin or Sutriel Matias.

“You can’t overlook Cambosos. Everyone wanted to see me and Teofimo Lopez struggled. We couldn’t get it. He had a must. They decided to go that route,” Richardson Hitchins said YSM sports media When asked why he chose George Cambosos the younger as his next opponent. “Why not get a guy who beat Teofimo Lopez? Cambosos. The former indisputable champion (correction: Cambosos is a former champion in a unique with three belts).”

Hitchins was a mistake to fight Cambosos the younger because he looks at it as a joke, and people criticize him for fighting. Hitchins would be better off fighting the best possible candidate so he couldn’t get a unification fight. Cambosos is not the best candidate available. He only struggled once he moved to 140, which was against a lower level fighter, Jake Wyllie.

“He never lost anyone but the guys who are on top of boxing. He also had a great victory over Teofimo Lopez. This is a fight for me to prove myself,” Hitchins said of Cambosos. “Liam Paro needed to beat me. Then they should have had Liama ​​Paro and George Cambosos in Australia. I shook their plans.”

They won’t work for Richardson to try to build Cambosos so that fans give more credit for that fight. People already see Cambosos as a one -year miracle with mediocrity. He lost three of his last five fights, and the only win of 2022 came against Maxi Hughes and Jake Whiglie.

Hitchins’s belief in Cambosos wins

“When Richardson Hitchins leads to fight Cambos, I (Cherry) choose. It’s boxing. George Cambosos is a big name. This is a step closer to consolidating my name in boxing. “I know the threat of Matias brings, but I don’t think Matias has fought no one against my level,” Hitchins said. “All the big names at 140 have gone to 147 anyway. So why not. I don’t want to stick to IBF and continue to do a 10 LB. rehydration clause”

When he complains that Hitchins, this is the IBF 10-pound rehydration rule, he should just lower the belt and move up. He can regret if he fights the United match against WBA champion Gary Antuanne Russell or WBC champion Alberto Puello. Russell would probably beat him, and Puello would be a big problem for him as well.

“Liam Paro has easily beat Matias. If we can’t get Teofimo next, I come to Sutriel Matias and ask me to make him easier and close everything. After that, I don’t want to hear criticism. If we can’t fight, we’ll move to 147 and see what’s going on,” Hitchins said.

Richardson should permanently forget about Teofimo Lopez, because that will never happen. Teo focuses solely on financial struggles and will not want to lead a risky, poorly paid fight against Hitchins when he can make big money against Jaron Ennis, Ryana Garcia and Devin Haney. Hitchins should drop the IBF belt and move up to 147 and hope that Turks Alalshikh will notice him to fight one of these guys.

The chances of Hitchins fighting against Matias are small unless he is open to the idea of ​​fighting him, which lost loss to WBC Light Welterweight Champion Alberta Puella. The two fight on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. Matias could lose that fight.

Potential future opponents at 147

“There are many options on the table after George Cambosos. If I can’t lead big fights at 140, I’ll drop the belt and try to get another shooting title (in 147). These are struggles that make sense to me,” Hitchins said when asked if he wanted to fight Haney and Rolando Rolando Roland. I just want to show that Richardson Hitchins is one of the best boxers in boxing, “Hitchins said.

Hitchins should start thinking about the spare of his IBF of £ 140 after defense against Cambosos JR. June 14 and transfer until 147. He will not fight at the age of 140. His dream of fighting Teofimo Lopez is extremely hopeless. This never happens, and it seems that it has been stupidly distracted about it.

“If I cannot unite at 140, I do not want to continue to work IBF (10 LB rehydrates) rules.

3 undefeated struggles in just over a year.
He beat the undefeated world champion fresh of his biggest career victory – he took out Boogeyman.
Then I will overthrow the fourth world champion in my CV – all in less than 20 fights.

I’m him! 😤
