Diaz-Campbell

[p4pking]

Campbell is 35 years old. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be one-sided.

I think you could be right, but I really hope we don't see it going that way. Maybe it's just wishful thinking as I've always liked Campbell, but I really believe he'll do well for himself in this fight. Even if he doesn't win, I think he'll put on a good performance and offset Diaz' rythym. He definetly hits harder, he's slicker, and goes to the body very well. If he punches in between Diaz' combos and goes to the body in the early rounds he could make it very interesting later on. It's just that he's been so inconsistent over his career. If this is an off-night for Campbell, even remotely, I think he'll be completely overwhelmed and just never get going. I do think he's capable of beating Juan Diaz though. He has much more power, and like I say, if he manages to be slick and get his digs in to the body early, he can absolutely make Diaz fight his fight... Which is a fight Juan can't win.

Agree. Campbell needs to fight the way he did the night he beat up Kid Diamond to have a chance.

I don't really think Campbell's that slick, I mean he's not a bad boxer but he's no defensive expert and actually for a guy that throws so many punches Diaz doesn't get hit that much.

But I agree with most of it. He does need to try to punch between Diaz's combos, which is easier said then done cause Juan's clearly faster than Nate but he still needs to try, and also he really needs to go the body.
