WBO #11 lightweight George “Ferocious” Kambosos (14-0, 8 KOs) is working as chief sparring partner to future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs). Pacman hasn’t had a KO since 2009, but Kambosos is confident Manny will not only defeat WBA welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse (39-4, 35 KOs) on July 15 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but will stop him early.
“I believe Manny (Pacquiao) can knock Matthysse out,” Kambosos told The Manila Times. “Matthysse’s defense is not superb and he relies only on his offense. This is perfect for a fighter like Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao’s hand speed, combination punching, and power will lead to a knock out over Matthysse. Pacquiao is still at the top of his game!”
