Bradley-Campbell result changed | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7
I'm real glad that this worked out, maybe it'll bring Bradley is down to earth a little after his crazy celebration like he won a hard fought war. I now hope two things, that Campbell gets a rematch and that he shows what he's truly made of.
It was right to make it a no contest. Bradley should have been ashamed of wanting to win in such a cheap way. However I think Nate wanted to quit as soon as it happened. Not as much of a warrior as I thought he was.Quote:

Bradley and Campbell in Near Brawl After CSAC Hearing - Boxing News
Nice to see boxing commissions do the right thing for once & from the looks of it they plan on having an unsanctioned rematch in the streets ;D
Still trying to figure out where the Dr. telling Nate that he was not speaking of the cut fits in?
Fair call but I think Nate milked it.
haha.... Just read that article..... I would have paid to see them go at it outside the commission office ... ha....Quote:

Good decision for boxing. Also love the after fight tension!
Be a great rematch to watch, but think Bradley whups Nate easy, but stick to the same formula for Nate having a chance, down the stretch.
I think Bradley handled it well after the fight. But that ofc was when he knew or thought he booked the win. Exciting implicatons!
I will never have the same respect for Campbell again. (Unless he redeems himself Ala Vitali Klitschko waging war with Lennox Lewis after quitting against Byrd)
And there is no point to a rematch. Campbell did not win a single second of that fight and was getting progressively worse. The headbutt could not have come at a better time( for Cambell).
excellent ruling. now both boxers can move on.
Shame Barrera never got the same treatment it fucking annoys me that does.
Good stuff anyhow but Campbell did milk it like Spicoli said
Reversing a decision even a no contest is bad for boxing imo. What would be the purpose of 3 judges if their decision would be overruled after the fight.
It would be a slap on the face for the judges, promoters and to the boxers alike

But this has nothing to do with judges decisions, only the clearly erroneous ruling made by the referee. The commission (for once) made the right call.Quote:

What will you do if the fight was stopped prematurely by a ref bec. he sensed the boxer will be hurt and that boxer filed for a reversal of decision siting he is fit to continue but was not given the opportuniy to do so?

Did you even watch the fight or know what actually happened??Quote:

Mate i've seen the fight and i'm saying this to all the fight before and the fights to come. There are so many fights the same as this and the decision stands after the fight ended and the decision was handed. Though the Commision decision was right, we should not always be looking at the replay and see the ref made a bad call.

That is in no way relevant to this discussion really. If a fighter protested a stoppage, it would have to be an incredibly obviously fraudulent move by the ref for the commission to even consider it and if that was the case I would hope that they did look into it. The two situations are in no way related other than that they both pertain to boxing.Quote:

What should we do to the ref then who failed to see the real situation? Hey it's not your your fault that we reversed the decision because you get it wrong.
I agree with the Commission on this one but not on general fight that lasted the whole 12 rounds.

But the two situations cannot really be compared. They're completely dissimilar.Quote:

Barrera said to the doctor he was ok. That was in round 4, the last round it could be judged a no contest. If he would have put his parts on like Campbell, it would have been a no contest.Quote:

Barerra/Khan fight went past 4 rounds. The Bradley/Campbell fight went 3 rounds. The rules are that the fight is judged by the scorecards if the fight goes through 4 rounds. If a cut stops a fighter from continuing and its before 4 rounds completes then it depends if it was a headbutt or punch. By headbutt it is a no contest. By punch it is a TKO. After 4 rounds it doesn't matter if a headbutt or a punched caused the cut. If the fighter can not continue it goes to the cards.Quote:

If the fight is stopped due to a cut caused by a headbutt before the 4th round completes then the fight is a no contest. That is exactly what took place and the replay backed it up with absolutely no doubt. Your analogy of a fighter being waved off by the referee's discretion has never and never will take place in an appeal. To win an appeal you must display absolute facts that have zero doubts. If you watch the Bradley/Campbell fight, knowing the rules, then this is not even an argument
Spade, rules are rules.
The fight should of and thankfully was ruled a No-Contest.
IMO, Campell shouldn't be get the chance at a rematch. Bradley should just move on with his career.
Yawn:rolleyes: make no difference what he says. The cut was as bad in the first as it was in the 5th.Quote:

Campbell looks done at the top to me all in all.

Yup further insult to Barrera. Rahman and Campbell get their losses overturned but no such luck for Marco.
The only vindication for me would be to see Khan get brutally knocked out again. I cant wait !
Im just explaining the facts. If the cut was bad enough to stop the fight then it was the doctors fault, not Khans.Quote:
