Game Tactics?
Kambosos (21-3, 10 KOs) sounded like he was ready to blow a gasket during the glove selection, feeling that Wyllie (16-1, 15 KOs) was trying to pull a fast one on him by selecting used, broken-in gloves. It’s unclear if this was the typical gamesmanship with the ‘Emperor’ Kambosos, using the ‘Art of War’ tricks to get into the mind of the 24, or if he is serious.
As desperate as Kambosos is to get a win tonight to keep his career going a little while longer, you can’t rule out him playing games. Kambosos needs a win for him to get the lucrative title shot against IBF light welterweight champion Richardson Hithins in June in New York.
Damn thats some dirty shit, these guys are terrified, tried to use broken in gloves that they provided, hell no you ain’t getting one passed team Kambosos. Especially Jim Kambosos, he caught onto that shit straight away when the glove slid straight out the bag when they went to… https://t.co/7Dv6YKIbfJ
