KEYS TO VICTORY: Devin Haney vs. George Kambosas 2

The rematch for the undisputed lightweight championship between Devin Haney and George Kambosas Jr. feels mostly obligatory. Kambosas had a rematch clause in his contract, and naturally chose to enforce it after a one sided decision victory for Haney back in June.  When looking a rematch like this, where the
