He acted like a champ and standup guy before and now after. Happy for this man, he’s earned every single thing, and earned many many fans. Cheers mate!

“Character last longer than talent! “
You’re damn right Teddy!
Congratulations George Kambosos 👏🏼👍🏼
Sound fundamentals last longer than talent and character without fundamentals when the talent has faded a half step is not enough.
That Man Humbled The Entire City of New York City! Behaved Like A True Champion From Start to Finish.
He was booed coming in but cheered coming out
Always the preferable way around!
This interview should be good. 💯
th-cam.com/video/bb99oeUOdqo/w-d-xo.html and the new!
When I saw that, it reminded me of Pac's first fight against Barrera. He was booed alot by Barrera fans coming in. But they cheered and respected him after the way Pac won and fought against Barrera. TRUE CHAMPIONS!!!
Teo López Sr Said His Son “Is The People’s Champ” Boy Was He Wrong, Not Only Did Kambosos Take The Belts But Now He’s The New People’s Champion 🥊
Big time
I’m a big fan of Lopez as a fighter but he absolutely humiliated himself in so many ways on Saturday.
He lost everything from his titles to his fans; he’s got a mountain to climb to come back from this one.
@@Dan-qk3mt Don't worry it's not the end of the world... life moves on...
I agree💯
Took the belts and his fans. Character wins always.
As a proud new yorker...started off booing this man..after 12 rounds I was cheering for him
Stick with your clown Teo
Respect 👍🏻
🤡🤡
The sort of people that boo fighters 🙈
Why did you boo him you knobhead?
"You made people that didn't even know you proud"
Facts Teddy. Knew little about Kambosos before this and even saw what I thought would be holes Teo would exploit in training. He showed up, put Teo on his ass, got back up off the canvas and fought to a victory in Teofimos hometown. THEN handled himself gracefully in his victory and didn't even bother getting bothered with Teo saying he won 10 rds. I'm definitely a fan now and I went into this backing Teo.
I didn’t know anything about Kambosos, I watched a video of his and thought he was a chin first brawler that would get knocked out by Teo but he fought way smarter and is way tougher than I ever expected.
@@deleqtronica8733 same dude same. Thought he would be vulnerable during exchanges. Granted it was when he was knocked down, but he fought way smarter than the dude I thought was gonna show up
I haven't watched boxing since David Tuas prime but I've been looking forward to this fight since early this year...Tim Tzyu is another one from across the ditch in Oz I think can possibly do great things and has the same great attitude that makes him easy to stand behind
@@nzsnowsoljah1012 oh wow I actually saw Tim fight didn't even click he was from Australia. He looked good in there
@@brandongratta9040 if you didnt know he was aussie. Check out who his father is/was. One of our best champions we ever had.
A true example of everything great about Australia, its sporting programs, the people who come here of all cultures to make something of themself and eventually call it home.
I'm not very patriotic but people like these 2 in boxing and Volk and Whittaker in UFC. Nothing makes me proud than these dudes being the ones representing the real Australia
I'm not gonna lie, I was one of those guys that thought Kambosos would get absolutely destroyed by Teo. After the fight, I lost all respect for Teo JR/Sr because of the way they acted and gained massive respect for George. I'm certainly a fan now and I'll be watching all of his fights going forward.
Ditto
Likewise
For sure
Points to you bro for being big enough to admit it.
as someone who thought kambosos gonna win, i respect what you said.
This really was an amazing interview. Kambosos represents the sport so incredibly well. Well spoken, honest, humble and extremely likable. Don’t change on us, George!
Kambosos getting knocked down in the 10th, showing courage and then winning is similar to how Volkanovski escaped Ortega’s submission attempts and then came back and battered him. Congrats Australia
“If you’re going through hell, keep going”
I would say he reminds me more to Juan Manuel Marquez determination when he was hurt he would keep on fighting and trading blows and never backed down.
@@triocha233 Like Rommel said, "if I were to invade hell I'd use the Aussies to take it and the Kiwis to hold it"
They are both Greek as well
Both greek roots and Blood
You can tell a bit of Pacquiao's heart and determination rubbed off on George. Those sparring sessions helped him a lot.
Nah he was training in Florida sparring with Puerto Rican’s and Mexicans. He used to spar with pacquaio a long time ago.
@@MericanMade24 George said it himself a million times. Those Pacquiao training and sparring sessions helped him become what he is today. He learned a lot and boosted his confidence more than anything.
@@MericanMade24 hahahahah.. yeah. He learned more
sparring mexican n Puerto Ricans than Pac-Man???? Very smart
@@JacobRozaly you aren’t bright at all. Of course he learned from PAC but he trained with him in the past like years ago. Kamboso been training in Florida for this fight. Keep up with the times bruh don’t live in the past
@@MericanMade24 wow you’re so smart, you even know better than George Kambosos himself 🤡
Congrats to George Kambosos, Team Kambosos, Family and The Aussies on a Great Champion and Vctory.
Condolences on your Grandpa, 🇦🇺🇦🇺, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
He has also greek roots, the beauty of the sport, we europeans, Asian, african and americans coming together like a big family 👊✌
Cool
Congratulations Tedy for this uplifting interview! The parallelism between boxing and life experience itself is what makes this sport unique and outstanding among others, in which achieving victories like this, mean way, way, way more than material champion belts...
Finally a proper champion. Not attention seeking social media quack. Massive congrats KAMBOSOS 🏆
Beautiful and brilliant fight. I am a fan of George for rest of my life...he showed me a lot. Never followed him before. But now he won me over. Loved it truly loved it thank you George.
Teddy, that rave about the similarities of Ali and George was pure spirituality. This interview transcended boxing because you both showed the 'character' you were describing. This was the stuff of life. Thank you George showing it and Teddy for recognising it. Go George.
ive seen a lot of georges fights i thought lopez was the favourite but they were already looking past george.I thought the longer it goes the better for george turned out that was right.The dude has worked his arse off so glad the judges did the right thing a great night for boxing all round
What a likable guy George is. A great balance of confident and humble. Hope he keeps climbing
I was rooting for Teo but I have to say , THANK YOU KAMBOSAS! You are a great example of how to carry yourself as a true CHAMPION. Much love brother 🙏
The 1st round knock down took Lopez's spirit. George getting up in the 10th took Lopez's soul.
You're 100% right!
And Teos dad took lots of drugs...
@@dontaskme7004 LOOOOL
Dang that was deep. So true
Take note : This is how a REAL champion conducts himself 💯
For real ….!FOR REAL … it’s the sign of a true and GENUINE FIGHTER / BOXER .. after all is the ART OF DISCIPLINE AND FOCUS.. not for EGOTISTICAL GLORY SEEKERS….TEO HAS TO COME CORRECT IN FUTURE …
75% of the Fight game is mental and George Kambosos has 80%...It showed before he even got in the ring at the Press Conference he won that Round 10-8
He got inside Teo's head during the build up a little bit.
It’s amazing how much I have learned and inspiring in this conversation or interview.. George Kambosos Jr. has behaved like a true champion in and out of the ring, and because of it he has gained many fans not only here in the US but all around the world.
This was like rocky 4. We all rooting for him at the end in foreign territory.
Will you root for him against a black boxer too?
@@r.k.4537 its not a blk or wht thing. Its boxing. I'll always go with the better fighter.
@@r.k.4537 bro no need
@@r.k.4537 i dont support boxers because of the colour of their skin, thats an average thing to say and that attitude doesnt belong in this great sport
@@r.k.4537 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Best boxing interview I've ever heard.
It's definitely up there. Had a bit of everything
Got to love the interview with Mickey Ward too, watch when you get the chance, its brilliant also
I never herd of George before the fight now i am a Fan he has the heart of a lion
Crazy the amount of love I've seen for George after this win, so cool to see the Aussie seen getting love 🇭🇲
George deserves huge respect. He put the plan together, put in the hard work, kept his poise, exhibited great character thoughout, pays respect to the greats - Ali, Cus, Manny - didn't back down from a bigger, louder, crazier fool, threw and landed more punches, and got up off the canvas to win the next rounds. AND THE NEW...! Congratulations George Kambosos - a true world champion!
Honestly this story deserves a movie .
Yep
I agree
Yes He Deserved Because I Knew He Was Going To Be Coronavirus Out of Teo 6 months, And little teo bullied Him Because He Was Manny Pacquiao Sparring Partner, And He Is Little Lol 😆😆😆😆😆
I’d watch it for sure.
th-cam.com/video/bb99oeUOdqo/w-d-xo.html and the new!
George brings back old school integrity. These young US fighters are mentally annoying
Well said
A MAN OF HIS WORD. SPARTAN. NEVER STEP BACKWARDS.
Lopez wore a spartan outfit into the ring
Never retreat never surrender…molon Labe…
For sure I’m a kambosos fan now. My kids fight and for them to see how George carried himself through all this is a great thing for my boys to see and learn from. Mad respect to George K. A true champ and solid as they come. Thanks to Kambosos for leading by example and not letting the Lopez team bring him down.
One of Teddy's best performances here! Powerful commentary.
Kambosos is everything a boxer should be, and that comes from upbringing also the right people around him a true real person nothing comes for granted, who shows respect from in and out
Modern day Spartan.
Tears and cheers 🥂 that’s the best interview George has ever done taught me how to conduct myself in a better way with my life journey down under AND NEW
Wow Awsome!
@@roundedges2 yup was really good now I know why teddy atlas is good at boxing 🥊
this interview was just beautiful !
@@IsabelTheDemon on fire tears and cheers 🥂 absolutely
@@IsabelTheDemon so awesome brother to be Greek Aussie today love it
"If he listened to me, he might have been better"
Great conversation, Teddy & Ken! Kamboso's is a Class Act! It's awesome to have a Boxing Champ who's a great representative for not only Boxing, but, for all of Combat Sports. Congratulations George! 🙏
WoW Kambosas just got a New fan!!💯👍 This interview is the best interview with Kambosas!!💯🥊😃😆😂
Teddy doesn't talk enough, I'd like to hear him speak more..
Great conversation, Teddy & Ken! 👍
George Kamboso's is a Class Act! It's awesome to have a Boxing Champ who is a great representative for not only Boxing, but, for all Combat Sports. Congratulations George! 🙏
Dude is a strait shooting guy. I like him...kambosos fan over here from Belize
Spartan saying - The more you sweat in Preparation during Training , the Less you will bleed on the Battle field off War .
What a fantastic interview. Fantastic to see the wisdom of teddy and his depth, and the insight Kambosos gave. Best interview I've seen in a long time
Good to see you here Chris. Recently subscribed to you. You're one of the best boxing analysts
@@fideltewolde5287 thanks so much brother, that is very flattering. And yes I'm a huge fan of these gentleman. Great chemistry and of course the wisdom of teddy and the story telling abilities are always great fun
Pretty much all of his interviews are fantastic, even though the setup can be a bit long winded 😄 Personally I like it. One of the best channels on TH-cam because there’s no favoritism that we find too frequently on other channels.
@@funkrates4778 haha yeah but he has a lot that's valuable to say though, so I dont mind long winded when it's entertaining or insightful
@@Chris_Andre_Boxing lol For sure. I miss him on ESPN. Btw, love your channel. I did a film analysis on this fight as well, and though we were wrong in our predictions, we were right about everything else. For me, the missing puzzle piece was how tough George really is and he proved to take Lopez’s power like the champion he is. But I think the fight went pretty much how you said it would go. BTW: I’ve been saying this; with AJ needing a new trainer, I think Atlas would be perfect. I think Atlas could take him to that next level and help him mentally too. Atlas probably wouldn’t take the position because he’s friendly with Usyk, but who knows. Atlas would be the best for AJ IMO. What do you think?
Please don’t let this be an Andy Ruiz story George! Stay hungry, stay humble
This! I hope he’s the real deal , seems like a class act
This! I hope he’s the real deal , seems like a class act
Dumb comparison. George took his win, anthony gave his win by being reckless.
Apples and oranges. Ruiz was a reckless clown like Lopez. He got lucky he fought a paper champion
What I meant was, not be a a flash in the pan. After the Teo fight, like many.. I have become a fan of kambosos and I hope he is able to keep at it and not become all Hollywood like Andy Ruiz and lose focus! Ya’ll gotta chill!
Lopez suffered from ego and arrogance and credit to George for the great effort that exploited the poor attitude of Lopez. It was still a close fight and Lopez still performed at a high level. Can Lopez learn from this? I'm not sure because in a relatively short period of time he turned into a jerk and he could not even accept defeat like a man.
Excellent interview by Teddy Atlas, George is so humble, greater things to come he is a true champion, we are so proud of him, eventhough George is born in Australian he is Greek, and on the night he had the Greek and Australia flags on him, as a Greek Australian that made me so proud as our blood and heritage is Greek and he showed so much respect to Greece and his family.
An antithesis of his fellow Ozzie. Humility vs braggadocio. Kyrgios should learn from this! Character does count.
It is obvious what kind of ethos he was raised with.
I'd bet you my left nut that he, like many of us in the Greek diaspora, was raised with the Illiad and Odyssey as bedtime stories, with Leonidas, Alexander and Pericles as heroes. The way he speaks of his grandfather, it is telling of his upbringing.
And maybe it is more important to us in the diaspora, our heritage and identity matters more to us than for the people back home in Greece.
George just happened to end up in the spotlight, we are millions who live and act the values that the world admire in George.
Just finished Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring: A Son's Struggle to Become a Man what a great story. Thanks for this podcast!
I’ll have to read it
@@jesusantaya202 a must read, enjoy!
A lot of people writing off this guy before the fight night including me. I only knew him as Pac's sparring partner and that's it.
Boy, I was wrong.
Underdogs prevail I know big time got my belts as well 🥊 #Champtalk
George got class. What a class act. He has a new fan. George I am rooting for you. You got a heart of a lion.
That's another great Cus quote that a fighter can have all the talent in the world, but if he doesn't have the character and the confidence he will be overcome. Confidence and character makes him win.
Geez I love this kid.. what a great champion. What a great human being.
Class Act, how can you NOT be happy for this Man, can't wait to see what he does next!
thank you Teddy for bringing this amazing champion on. one of the best champions in the sport.
Teddy hit it on the nail. Im also very impressed with how Kambosos controlled the distance without running. Always ready to pounce when opportunity shows.
What a champion this guy is. He acts like a champ inside and outside the ring. I hope your reign last George. Line up the 4 fake barbie queens except for loma.
Great interview!
How good is it hearing passionate people talking about their passion
Congratulations George, I've been following you for a long time. Good to see get what you deserve.
I never knew who Kambosas was before this fight but i swear after thay very 1sy press conference i said there was something different about him he doesnt give a fuck 😂💯 ill forever be rooting for him
@You Today yea kinda reminded me of mcgregor when he was 1st coming up , the swag , confidence and no fear attitude
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I hope this kid ends up being one of the greats. He is humble and a student of the game. I am definitely a fan now. Great win and a true champion. I hope Teofimo learned something from this kid. Teo was to arrogant and overlooked this guy. One of the biggest mistakes in boxing. Never underestimate your opponent. Teofimo ego and his fathers ego cost them the titles. Great story!! Hope to see him in some great fights in this stacked division.
There is something special about him. He’s in a tough division and maybe this is one of those Cinderella story.
that counter he knocked Teo down with was sliiiiiick
Georgey BOYYYY
What a beast you are
Never ever doubted you mate
Crazy when everyone in the crowd boos you in the beginning but because of the way you fought and conducted yourself throughout become fans and boo the man they came to see in the first place. Crazy.
Salute to George! Fought and acted like a true champ. He has all the bragging rights against Teo. Dude for sure has some tough fights coming to him, with Haney stepping in line. I’m a fan now. Cheers mate! (I hope I said that right)
U said it right, cheers mate
We love you here teddy you’re a honest man with great wisdom and you’ll always be welcome 🇦🇺❤️
When I was watching the fight I observed Kambosos excellent leg movement and it dawned on me that he looked like Paquio and even Kambosos throwing punches on a continued barrage always responding never backing down totally perplexing Teofimo and casting doubt in Teofimos mind.
I just want to take this time to show something obvious: Cus D'Amato is and will forever be the greatest Boxing trainer & modern day philosopher of recent time. His knowledge and love for this art will live on forever. Just by listening to his words have gotten me off of alcohol and into boxing. Moving to NY to attend his gym next year. Cus lives.
Greatest trainer what about Eddie Futch?
Best wishes mate
Congrats bro, keep it up💪
@@flamboyentpromotions3471 and what about Ray Arcel and Jack Blackburn and Charlie Goldman and Whitey Bimstein. Lots of great trainers and Cus would agree.
I kambosos' has mental toughness and heart, he's a man of his word and a class act. I hope Teofilmo listen to this interview he can learn a lot especially about having class in defeat. Look every fight bring different energy so you have to adjust, just because u beat Loma u can't take your foot off the pedal.
Teo had me dying when he said 11-2 😂😂😂 .
Jeff Horn put on one of the dirtiest displays of boxing ever seen. Disgraceful.
Good guy. he deserves fight in Australia vs Loma, for big money and huge fan support
That's the fight of the two most talented fighters. Lopez timing and game plan was admirable, round by round.
The talent of being humble. I cried for him and yes I am a man but it got to me. Some one with so much talent but cant be humble made me weep. I wish this man well untill he retires and moves on to something else. He is smart enough to know that. It's all business not personal. Wow.
Being put to bed with the Odyssey and Illiad as the bedtime stories, growing up with Alexander, Leonidas and Pericles as your heroes... It does imprint certain virtues, forges a certain character.
Don't overlook it, there is a reason why he speaks of his grandfather in this way, I have no doubt about the way he was raised.
Still thought Kambosos was going to get robbed by the judges. Bravo to him.
Teo started to act like his pops and lost alot of fans 13 to 1 odds he blew it no excuses it's Kambosas time to shine he deserves it 100%
Great interview, as usual.
Kambosas is a straight WARRIOR 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Not delusional at ALL!!!!!! Acts like a true champion, and I shouldn't be surprised because you've been around Pacquiao🇵🇭 a lot. I'm officially a fan man. Congrats to you Kambosas 🇦🇺🦘🤙🏿.
🎊 🏆 Congratulations.....George Kambosos. You are "One Of A Kind". I hope that you keep those belts for a long...LONG TIME! KEEP BANGING!!!! 👊
Teddy Atlas...you are KING!!!!!!! 👑
I love this man’s grit and determination!! When Lopez has been in the light I’ve been in the darkness, the trenches!! What a champion 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇬🇷🇬🇷
Great interview I’ll buy any fight Kambosos fights 👍
Teddy Atlas five minute long questions. Gotta love it
I remember watching Kambosos get stopped in amateurs by an incredibly talented prospect 10 odd years ago. It’s clear that unearthed something inside of George, as he never lost from there on in and hadn’t been dropped again til round 10 against Teo.
Was that from Willy K?
George is the type of fighter that's comes around once in everybody life time..all the bs he went through..he stayed humble through it all I SALUTE the young man and he has a new fan...keep up the great work champ
The Ferocious Kambosos 🤞🔥
I'm a Teofimo guy all day and I will say this. From this point on im rooting for Kambrosos if he fights Haney, Tank, Ryan or Loma however im still rooting for Teo if they ever have a rematch.
Teo is a fucken child bro, makes Jake Paul seem like an adult
Teofimo I exposed himself not just as a lucky guy in winning against a one handed Lomo, but also a sore loser. No grace, no respect for his opponent, for the sport, for the fans. Lopez is a loser on all aspects.
fanboi like poster and shit and shirt you wear with his name on your back... grow up kid
Consummate professional from start of fight week till the end well done fella great work deserves every accolade he gets 😁👍
Teddy you are the man 👍🏻, and you’re bang on about Jeff Horn . I’m an Australian and no way did he beat Pac-Man and achieve an undisputed champion and time showed you were right . Mate you’re welcome in my country any day of the week . George is the real deal and now the Emperor of the Lightweight Division and he will be for a long time to come ! And you sir are a champion yourself for telling the truth !! Love your work and I’m now your newest subscriber 🇦🇺🇦🇺🍻
what a respectful guy , man im getting in boxing .
Very impressed with Kambosas. I’m glad he won.
What a fantastic, uplifting and inspiring interview. Character, humility, earned respect
Kambosa makes me proud to be a boxing fan
Congratulations..Kambosos... well done 👏... lot's of Love & Respect 🙏.. from a U.K....Fan.
What I like about listening to Teddy is he takes his vast boxing experience and turns his commentary into a great novel or watching a movie in your head that contains all the emotions of humanity that all of us can relate too even in our own endeavors outside of Boxing.
The best thing about this fight is tiofomo is one and done
Great interview guys.
& first as a boxing FAN, & secondly as an Aussie, Teddy, You are always welcome down under. The only people who was upset with what you said are casual fans who have no idea about the sweet science. Like we’ve all seen… if Horn was truly great, why couldn’t he even defend those belts? Not even once. Everyone who knows the sport knows he didn’t win that fight.
We’d love to have you down under calling George’s next title fight over here!
If ya ain't working ya ain't winning ~ Prodigy Boxing 👊👊
Love this interview, love the kid and the respect and humbleness.
Looking forward to him making defenses for his title.
Much respect to this True Champion inside and outside the ring. My adult kids are 23yrs old and will look up to this young man.
I sense that it's his destiny, honors to you champ!
He made many fans I'm one of them...I was rooting for him ..I always root for underdog..LETS GO JOJO DIAZ..PITBULL CRUZ....
Good shit George
I am watching it in a hospital after my grandfather had a heart attack. Now he is in stable condition but I want to say this, George's story is really motivating the way he worked hard and proved everyone wrong really motivated me to learn from his example and always believe in myself.
Your grandfather just got up from the 10th round knockdown, he’s going to get back up and dominate the rest of the fight. God speed.
@@deleqtronica8733 Hell Yeahhhh 🙏
Wishing him well. From a rando on TH-cam. 🙏
