You dudes are calling bad stoppage only because u picked Jones to win...

FACT

That stoppage was more than proper. INfact the referee was generous to let the fight go as long as it did..

---

Please it was a bad stoppage period. Oh and I picked Brook to win yappy.

Next doors cat was just fucking about with a baby sparrow that had bigger legs than Campbell

2 knock downs within a minute lol.

Haha, well played Campbell.

That's one fast, bad intentioned debut. Class.

JOnes was taking punishment throughout the entire bout and was never in the fight.. ever..

Why exactly was that a bad stoppage.. Have u boxed before cupcake?

Noooooooooo not the dreaded have you boxed before line ;D

If this was a 12 rounder for a title I'd have a problem with it. As it wasn't and it was some weird 10 round catch weight nothingness of a contest its cool. I score some decent prediction comp points and when he gets around to seeing it VD will be proper upset. Good nights work I'd say.

I'll tell you next week. There's about as much chance of Khan-Brook in September as Ross not mentioning LOlenga Mock whenever Haye's name is said (impossible)

Purdy? Maidana? Alexander? If Eddie is providing the undercard for Haye/Fury then I could see it being Purdy. Alexander would not be new news. Hmmmm.

Never mind all that nonsense. We've seen Luke Campbell as a pro for 30 seconds. Lets decide if he's the second coming or total toilet. And shouldn't he be stepping up the competition already? He's definitely ducking someone.

Campbell is definitely legendary, no ballot, first entry hall of fame worthy even before tonights performance. In under two minutes he now is the best boxer in the universe ever, ever, ever. Followed by Ogogo.

U gotta understand, Beans. Britain is in desperate need of a great fighter, a superstar, so any prospect who is half decent is going to hyped..

Kell Brook is the man though.. I think u guys find The One so go all in on special K ok..

Campbell looks decent but he's clearly protecting an ear made from the finest china. When he finally stops protecting that "0" and fights someone capable of landing on it he'll get laid out. Guaranteed.

There are, has been and always will be plenty of good fighters In Britain. You got to stop trying to educate people on British fighters. Greatness comes and goes and I have watched enough fights to know when I see it, and you are right, yes we do overhype fighters, but then so do fans from many countries including the States. Brook has great potential but also many question marks. A lot of those questions have not even been asked of him yet. I have long rated him but we will see.

Was at work till 10pm, so stayed away from the thread and any results before I could see the action.

Despite the rest of the action tonight, the fight of the night both for fans and the viewing audience was Coyle v Derry Matthews, and while I've slated Dirty Derry for so long here for his style, that was one hell of a punch he pulled out to grab a win. He was losing on every card, but a stunning left hook that devastated Coyle.

Anyhow, Brook did what was expected of him, and ground Carson Jones out for the win, while Selby looked good, if a little pedestrian beating that Romanian fella. Ogogo did well, and Campbell finished his fight with aplomb. Tidy night's boxing all in all, and there doesn't seem to be much more in terms of British Boxing until the Cleverly card in late August now.

I reckon Mosely will be Brooks next opponent

Oh I agree that britain has a deep history in Boxing. They've produced some of the finest fighters in the past and will continue to do so. BUt for right now at least, Britain is sort of in the rebuilding stage imo.. Compared to the days of Calzaghe and Hatton, the British boxing scene has watered down a bit.

BTW Beans, I didnt mean it that way so dont take offense to it bro. Im only calling it as I see it.

Eddie Hearn says there will be a huge fight for Brook in September !

Brook is headlining his own show in Shefield. Eddie is providing the undercard for Haye-Fury along with Hennessy, he certainly wont be putting any headlining fights on it.

Its definitely not Alexanader, that's dead, plus he's linked with Khan for December.

A "big name?" So who can he afford to bring over here? Think of an older/damaged type fighter - Julio Diaz (Khan connection), Victor Ortiz is coming off two losses etc

Everything was loaded for Brook to win. The 10 rounds, above welterweight and home venue I should have seen the victory coming.
