That proved to be a very profitable decision for Haney as he dominated Kambosos across 12 rounds to win all four world championships at 135 pounds.<br>Haney becomes just the ninth fighter to unify all four recognized titles in any weight class and the second youngest at just 23.<br>There was very little drama in the bout, with Haney immediately establishing a brilliant jab that kept Kambosos from ever getting his offense going. As the jab landed, Haney fired lead left hooks and straight right hands behind it, each shot discouraging Kambosos from letting go with the right hand he seemed to have loaded up the entire night.<br>In the end, Haney picked up the unanimous decision victory with the official scorecards reading 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110.<br>"I handicapped him at his best game," Haney said after the fight. "He wanted to land the overhand right and the big left hook. I handicapped him. I was fighting both ways. When I would go to the left I would fight his right hand. When I would go to the right, I would fight his hook. He couldn't land either one of them."<br>Finding his mark ð¯<a href="https://twitter.com/Realdevinhaney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RealDevinHaney</a> x <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KambososHaney?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#KambososHaney</a> <a href="https://t.co/2nA6DPghrJ">pic.twitter.com/2nA6DPghrJ</a><br>Haney, who entered with the WBC championship, was not the man originally set to face Kambosos after Kambosos' shocking upset win over Teofimo Lopez to capture the WBC franchise championship along with holding the WBA, IBF and WBO world titles. The original plan was for Kambosos to defend against former champion Vasiliy Lomachenko. When Lomachenko pulled out of the bout to remain in his native Ukraine after Russia's invasion of the country, the opportunity came for Haney to silence critics who claimed his WBC title was illegitimate when he was elevated from interim champion when Lomachenko was named franchise champion by the WBC.<br>After a rocky build to the fight that saw Kambosos frequently use trash talk, Haney's father arrive the night before the fight and Kambosos miss weight on his first attempt, Haney was calm from the jump, looking every bit a masterful boxer as he completely shut down Kambosos and marked up the Aussie's face with a steady diet of jabs.<br><strong><em>Can't get enough boxing and MMA?

"I thought the fight was very close but I'm not going to wreck his moment. ... I'll see him very soon."<br>Kambosos vs. Haney was not the only fight on Saturday night with multiple world championships on the line. Stephen Fulton defended his WBC and WBO super bantamweight titles against Daniel Roman in Minneapolis.<br>Similar to Haney's victory, Fulton used movement and a stiff jab to set the tone for all 12 rounds of action with Roman trying to bring pressure but finding every attempt to get going stifled.<br>Right hand on repeat all night ðª<a href="https://twitter.com/coolboysteph?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coolboysteph</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FultonRoman?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FultonRoman</a> <a href="https://t.co/cZUmGLi4zL">pic.twitter.com/cZUmGLi4zL</a><br>Fulton simply outclassed and outboxed Roman at every turn, turning a fight that had the potential to be one of the best of the year into a one-sided rout. The official scorecards for the bout read 119-109, 120-108, and 120-108.<br>"It was very important to control the distance tonight," Fulton said after the fight. "Like I said before, in the last outing with Brandon Figueroa, I didn't have the energy because I didn't make the weight the right way. So shout out to my dietician. Any moment he had, I took it right away from him. I neutralized the threat."<br>Fulton now turns his attention to his goal of meeting WBA and IBF champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev in a four-belt unification later in the year.<br>CBS Sports was with you throughout the entire way on Saturday for both events, so be sure to follow along with the live results and highlights below. <br><strong>Official result: Devin Haney def.

Haney landed a brilliant one-two combo and slid to the side to avoid any return fire as Kambosos remained befuddled by Haney's multi-dimensional attack. Haney just continued to drill Haney over and over with the jab as Kambosos just looked to land a single punch to try and hurt Haney and change the course of the fight. Kambosos did land one shot to the body late but not much else in the round. <strong>Unofficial scorecard: 10-9 Haney (80-72 Haney)</strong><br><strong>ESPN: George Kambosos Jr. vs. Devin Haney -- Round 7:</strong> Kambosos briefly flurried against the ropes but a body shot drifted low before Haney tied up to get right back to the center of the ring. Haney dug in with a heavy right to the body. Kambosos nearly landed his right hand but Haney was just able to avoid taking the full force. More stiff jabs from Haney were driven right into Kambosos' face. Kambosos needs some sort of complete change here because Haney is dominating nearly every minute of this fight. <strong>Unofficial scorecard: 10-9 Haney (70-63 Haney)</strong><br>.<a href="https://twitter.com/georgekambosos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GeorgeKambosos</a> lands a big left ð <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KambososHaney?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#KambososHaney</a> <a href="https://t.co/ZLwj9uNdTZ">pic.twitter.com/ZLwj9uNdTZ</a><br><strong>ESPN: George Kambosos Jr. vs. Devin Haney -- Round 6:</strong> Haney stuck tight to the gameplan, throwing jabs, slipping Kambosos' power shots and resetting at the right distance to not let Kambosos do anything effective with his offense.
