Bradley vs Campbell

[rocky55]

He quit with that little cut!!!

that's not a little cut. it's big diagonal cut crossing the eyebrow with the lower end pointing directly to the middle portion of the eye. it's really distracting Campbell with the blood flowing to his eye.

Yeah, I guess there's never been a cut like that before, and the fighter continuing to fight. They all quit with a cut like that, my bad.

i'll try to find a pic

I absolutely loathe Timothy Bradley, he is a big headed feather fisted idiot.. All you guys who say he was owning campbell need to look at the replay and see Bradley hit nothing but arms and was landing with his wrists mostly.

Nice battering ram that fuk has... Hate that clown

He is an oddity.he may not have been owning him,but the righting was on the wall.Head butts happen,part of the sport and Nate knew exactly what he was doing telling corner to stop fight before he even sat down,going for a N.C.

That's exactly what we were all complaining about with Khan-MAB though. The fact is that once you get blood inside your eye & particularly under the eyelid, it's as good as gone. I do think from the way it was going that Bradley was going to take it, just as I did with Khan, but there's a reason the rule about headbutts are there. This was no Victor Ortiz moment, like MAB, Campbell said to continue, he just said he couldn't see, which I think most of us would tell our cutman after a round like that one.

The rules are there but regardless of what we think about some of these officials they have to take the initiative and make a call,work and look at the cut between rounds ,thats why they have cutmen?....ref stopped Nate at the end of 3rd and looked right at it,Nate looks at it on the over head wide screen and motions to corner and is saying he cannot see before he sitsdown.With his eye open?Im not defending dumbazz refs but he was working the system...just like I think Rahman did in Toney rematch.We cant change it and maybe I'm coming at it outta knowing Nate is a warrior.Just think he made the call all by himself and worked it.

You might be right. But homie it was still more than what Campbell was doing. Nate don't belong at 140

your babies mamma's hit harder than him.. Nate was slipping ducking and doing his thing, I mean JMM was looking like he was getting dominated by Diaz catching flush shots and was looking ancient, until he settled in with the counters and was setting Diaz up until he had him broken down... Bradley was being wild and sloppy and smothering his work and slapping like Calzaghe...

One and two yeah. But not three. She gets no leverage on her power punches. And her jab is a joke.

Keep in mind when Marquez was catching punches left and right he was also landing punches left and right. Campbell wasn't doing anything like that When he did land, his punches lacked the snap they had at 135

a no decision is a no decision, Ref is an idiot even in the replay that was plain as day he was saying he got hit after the butt(which makes him look like a bigger idiot) So you acknowledge it was an accidental butt, though the angle of the cut is almost impossible to have come from a punch.... The cut came from a punch

[JT Rock]

Take a x-bar JT. Nate didn't land jack shit on Bradley tonight. Bradley was landing plenty of body shots and a few head shots.[/B]

Yea I can see how you arrived at that seeing the fight was 25% in progress

Nonetheless JT, you have to admit that Bradley was making Nate look very old. I think it should've been a N/C, but Campbell was clearly looking for a way out and Bradley was beating him in a big way through three rounds (admittedly a very small sample size).

I'll be stunned if Campbell lands a payday after this.

In all fairness, and I don't like Nate that much, if he was really "seeing spots" it could possibly have been something internal. Not saying that happened, just saying I don't think there's an eye doctor on this thread and its not like its not totally out of the realm of possibility.

He did seem clearly affected by it in the round.

Or he could have read the signs and gotten the fuck out of there, I don't know. I'm willing to give a guy who's been a real fighter for a long time some benefit of the doubt. Dude has always shown toughness, Nate Campbell and the word pussy shouldn't really be used together.

No need to find a pic, I'd seen it plain as day, and I know the blood was going into his eye, but I've seen worse cuts than that where the fighter continued on.

To be fair though, the guy has bitched since the Diaz fight that everyone is ducking him, he doesn't get the big paydays he deserves and has claimed on many occasion that he has more heart than most fighters. You can't come out mouthing off to the media and then look for a way out when the cards are stacked. Like I said earlier, Cotto had a monster cut against Clottey and could have bitched out, but he continued on. Nate claims he's a real warrior, but real warriors don't do what he did in the ring tonight. He should've let the referee or the doctor decide.

My only two points are, one, we don't really know what was happening with him, and, two, he's shown heart and toughness over a long career. That is enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt even though he acted questionably.

I shouldn't be defending him this much, I'm a huge fan of Juan Diaz.

All I'm saying is...

Nate has moaned and moaned. He's claimed he's a warrior. He's claimed he has alot of heart and is tough. But tonight, on his chance to show that, he didn't. When you failed to make the weight in your last fight, this isn't the way to endear yourself to TV companies and promotors alike. You want to get paid, you have to demonstrate your worth the trouble.

[OumaFan]

Well I don't care too much about talk, but he had every right to claim he had heart and is tough, he's had heart and been tough for over ten years or something Not like this guy's been a runner or been quitting every other fight or any fight, the man has a track record, period.

Maybe he just quit, maybe he wasn't "seeing spots." or his vision wasn't impaired, I don't know. If it was Hector Camacho Jr. I wouldn't be saying anything, I'd still be laughing. But it wasn't.

Well, personally I think this cut was worse than Cotto's, as it was right on the eyelid & more central (as in nearer his nose). Ignoring that Cotto also had a major point to prove to everyone after he quit against Margarito. He knew better than anyone that had he found a way out early against Clottey that it could be used to support Margarito's 'innocence' & that he would forever be known as a fighter who lacked heart. Campbell has done more than enough over his career to show that he is a real warrior. & if you listen to the corner he does try & let the doctor decide, when asked if he wants to carry on, he says yes.

[bzkfn]

I like Nate. Can we not go back to talking about what a silly fuck Witter is?

Sorry, but if I took you up on this offer, I'd be posting so much I'd be banned for spamming.
