I think the right hand won the fight tonight," Haney said after handing Kambosos only the second defeat of his career."He is a warrior.

I take my hat off to George Kambosos and all the Australians who came out."Kambosos had previously suggested that he would hang up his gloves if he failed to win the rematch, but the 29-year-old said his latest defeat was not the end."I'm still a big, big name in the world of boxing.
