Dont think its particularly good. Definatly not a power left hook, but he times it fairly well. Got to credit Kambo for landing it, but also think teo was reckless and walking onto it because it wasnt hurting him.

I really like kambo, but his best quality is heart, chin and dragging people into his fight (a scrap). Non of his individual punches are particularly great, his defence isnt amazing, his feet are eh.

I dont expect him to dominate the division, just think he wound up teo perfect.

in terms of ranking his left hook though,, Id say, Worse than garcias, worse than teos, worse than tank and lomas front hand hook (right in this case). It is in my opinion unremarkable. Just a par left hook for a top 10 guy.

Kambosas strength is in his counter combinations. None of his individual punches are remarkable, but the timing, quickness, and crispness of his combos makes them remarkable. He reminds me of JMM a bit.

I don't rank any of his punches really.
Average across the board?
After following his career for a few years, what I do rank is his ability to incrementally improve every fight.
I expect an even better Kambosos next time out.
Fighting Lopez still doesn't prepare him for Loma, but if George remains focused and with the excellent team he has, then you have to give him a good chance.

Does'nt do a bad job , Hooking Off the jab ,,, not a great deal of power but obviously enough there to make them think twice , if he gets the timing right , it would hurt .

kambo's an all rounder who does a lot of things well but not much particularly impressive

id say his timing is his key attribute and strength

He seemed to land it with a high degree of accuracy when he threw it.
It offset Teo numerous times and forced him to build up his rally from the start over and over again forcing him to reset.

To me it wasn’t so much the hook itself but his set up. Those wicked angles and the blind sided attacks. Vicious stuff.

Jo Jo said Haney will walk through Kombosis if they fight, regardless of what his attributes are.

Good points. So far he didn't look like a fighter, who relied only on one punch. He can score variable counters, he carries decent speed and power in both hands.

I don't expect to see a better Kambosos for his next fight. I think that the dude has peaked. Will that be sufficient to beat his next opponents? Not sure.

Loma and Kambosos are all wrong for each other, Loma has the skills to set Kambosos up while Kambosos has the heart, power, size and smarts to seriously rough Loma up. I still really can't predict a winner for this one, who beat who says Kam but is that the right bet?

I don't think that gayboy Garcia would give Kambosos that many problems really.

Other than those two I'm not that familiar with the lw dudes.
