    Smile HEAD BUTT! Bradley vs Nate a no contest...!!

    By the time Nate Campbell is done having his hearing with the California commission on Aug. 24, his TKO loss to Timothy Bradley will likely have been turned into a no-contest, and you’ll hear a lot of talk about how justice was done. After all, replays clearly showed that the cut above Campbell’s left eye was caused by an accidental clash of heads. Referee David Mendoza got the call wrong, a mistake that instant replay can correct...

    ;;;;yahoo sports..

    Ouuuchhh!

    I think it should be ruled a NC. They overturned Rahman's loss to Toney on the same grounds.

    I feel sorry for Bradley though, he was dominating the fight and Campbell was clearly using it as a way out screaming that he couldn't see etc.

    But it was a headbutt, and as such a N/C is fair as it was stopped inside 4 rounds.

    I expect Miles is simmering with rage over the whole episode of course.

    Nate wasn't going to win that fight in the long run if they rule it a NC then I hope he has comes back with a game plan, that is if Timothy will be willing to Rematch...gosh team Bradley is def raging!

    The only dominating I saw from Bradley was after the cut. Bradley was even on the back foot for parts of the first two rounds. The commentator even says that its unusual to see Bradley on the back foot. I want to see a rematch for sure, but I bet you Bradley ain't so keen on it despite his on air words....

    Nate Obviously thinks this is a shrewd move.
    I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself in the rematch.

    The guy deserves a break more than most as well. He got screwed for hundreds of thousands of dollars by Juan Guzman and it would have been a shame for him had he had a TKO loss on his record for a cut caused by an accidental headbutt.

    I think Bradley will beat him easily next time around, if they do go again, but I'd love to see Nate pull of an upset.

    Bradley is very much a fighter on the up though and I really disagree with themagican, Campbell looked all of his 37 years in there.

    Bilbo, your opinion is much more respected than mine I know that for sure, I just think that Bradley hits a whole lot of glove man, just like Kahn, and I felt he was only landing good shots after Nate was cut. I'm just not convinced by Bradley atall in any way shape or form. If Holt was a busier fighter, he could have had Bradley out of there and beating Witter is nothin. Like JIMBOOGIE, i just hope if he gets a rematch, he doesn't throw away a second chance.

    If he happens to pull off an upset .....he will have shut up a lot of critics

    A little acknowledgment of a fighter making adjustments and showing some alternate gears?Bradley was showing a nice jab and straight punches knowing that Campbell is an extremely cagey inside fighter.Bradley is not oozing charisma by any means but when he saw a spot,he stepped it up and really put it on Nate.I don't think Bradley would go sheepish as far as rematch...now that tub of goo Gary shaw ??

    Ive always respected Nate but do think he rolled the dice knowing full well the inner workings of the rules and the whole inside of 4 round rule when dealing with cuts.....The ref clearly blew the call but also indicated the cut was caused by a punch,twice when it happened in the judges direction....Nate said nothing about not seeing when the ref checked the cut at rounds end,only after he looked at it on the arena jumbo tron screen......crazy thing is that the Dr. dismissed the physical cut when talking stoppage with Nate."I'm not talking about the cut"...Nate said he could not see so fight over.Odd one really.

    Get over it guys. No decision should be the correct result due to the cut suffered from accidental headbutt. A "no decision" result is included in the rule book to cover situations like this.

    I think bradley would take the rematch in a heartbeat but I dont think he will get paid enough to make it worth it. The networks saw what we saw and that is Nate was going to get dominated......There wont be a rematch.....shame for Nate...but he hasnt managed his career very well so he has no one to blame but himself.....
