Just saw this one is signed for March 8 in Cancun, MX. I honestly think this is abetter fight than the katsidis fight would have been. Nate brings counter-punching and experience as well as polish to his game that Kats doesnt have. I like Diaz but he may be in trouble here. He has proved me wrong before, so I wouldnt be surprised. I dont have a pick yet for this fight, how do you see it going?
diaz outworkin nate to a UD
Nice fight.I like Cambell as a fighter and glad his crazy legal crap worked itself out.Hes a scary fighter,Alll the ability to get in put hurt on guys.Equally though he spaces out sometimes....."the galaxy Warrior"..Hes a solid guy and deserves a shot.Quote:

Thanks for the heads up No Contest,nice fight Indeed !!
Awesome! Gonna be a damn good fight. Dunno who to pick yet, leanin towards Diaz right now.
Diaz for me here, Campbell has to many umimpressive performances for me to pick him over Diaz. I like Campbell but he has a tendancy to switch off in his fights and will not be able to do that against Diaz.
Oops I may have jumped the gun a bit, Campbell hasnt signed yet, but I see no reason he wouldnt. He is a Don King fighter.
You Ass... ;DQuote:

Yep...that was stupid. ::**
Diaz has a great work rate and ethic so he should get past Campbell. However, he will encounter adversity here. In winning he would grab himself some great expierience.
Is there anyway we can sad click campbell for that. What the hell was he doing?
I take it that was the first Robbie Pedan fight?
he deserved it, he was winning too but his dumbass thought he was invincible.Quote:

I like cambell but he won't make it to see a decision. This will be another diaz stoppage although i don't see cambell quitting.
diaz will win a UD
I've went against Diaz in his last fight & he proved me wrong but like a fool I'm gonna do it again. I just feel if Nate can come in at his best he can win this. Plus with the power he holds in both hands anything is possible!
Nate will be the biggest and sharpest puncher Diaz has ever faced. Gonna be hard to counter Diaz though since the kid NEVER stops throwin.Quote:

Nate won't quit but he might be in for some punishment in the late rounds.
Maybe I am too big a fanboy of my homestate boy, but I don't see anyone beating him right now, and Hatton better hope Diaz doesn't move up.
Diaz may stop him late or UD. I think Campbell is a good fighter when he is on but hes too inconsistant and against a guy like Juan you have to be sure of yourself as a fighter or he will break you down, which is what wil probably happen to Campbell.
I believe after this fight Diaz is released from the contract Don King had over him. This opens the door for unification with Katsidis and perhaps another marquee fight at Light weight aginst the winner of David Diaz vs. Manny Pacquaio.
I truely believe at that stage Juan will move up, which could potentially make an attractive fight for Hatton/Witter or Malignaggi (whoever jockeys themself into the No.1 spot at that time.)
Diaz. He just seems like such a consistent guy, seems like you see about the same thing from him every time out. Nate's inconsistent but that's not really the point as I think Diaz most likely beats Nate even if he's on. Not a real knock on Nate, he's a good fighter and I like him even though he's an idiot. At least he finally gets a shot and doesn't have to fight his 19th title eliminator.
He was only an idiot ONCE. Give him a break. He destroyed Kid Diamond and I will always love him for that.Quote:

Well, about 3 years ago, he was beatin up this Aussie fighter, Robbie Peden, you may have heard of him, Peden fought JMM a long time ago and more recently Barrera and to my knowledge hasn't fought since his UD loss to Barrera. Anyway, so Nate looked to have Peden out on his feet, then Nate put his hands down at his side in a clinch, leaned into Peden's face acted all hard tryin to punk him, and Peden was playin Possum I guess and let loose with a big right hand, and BOOM! Knocked Nate Campbell out. Campbell woke up a minute or two later and was in shock, he was literally crying that he was that stupid as to lose the fight tryin to bully Robbie Peden.Quote:

diaz is wins in a entertaining fight
Yeah that was a real idiot move.. I checked boxrec to remember when that fight was, and I saw that Campbell actually lost a rematch to Peden by TKO in the 8th... Did you happen to see that one??? What the hell went wrong there, you'd think with how badly he was playing with Peden aside for his mental lapse in the first fight he'd want to be sharp in the rematch..Quote:

But I got two words for the Nate we're going to see that night: Joel Cassamayor.
(where'd he go?)
Cassamayor struggled desperately in a "tune up defence" against Jose Armando Santa Cruz. Joel was awarded the decision in a SD which many (if not the majority) felt was a complete robbery.
The decision was so controversial that Diaz is now seen to be the No.1 Lightweight in the world.
