Bradley vs Campbell

[rocky55]

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

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.

the cut is not long but it's reported as deep gash. i found one pic posted below.

That cut would bleed into his eye.

I know, I already said that, but others have gone on with cuts like that, is all I'm saying.

Let me ask this, Campbell was dedicating this fight in part to Gatti, do you think Gatti would have quit with a cut like that? I think not.

Here is my only criticism: Nate has said time and time again that Guzman was a coward for not fighting him despite a weight disadvantage. Tonight Nate was at a disadvantage and he quit the second he got back to the corner. He could have kept fighting but he was banking on NC. This fight was just like Rahman-Toney 2. I have no problem with his argument, in fact, he is right, it should have been ruled a NC. BUT, he did quit. Also, there is no doubt in my mind that Bradley was on his was to winning the fight.

Unfortunately for Campbell, his didnt fight like a guy on his last leg and it will be very hard for Nate to get a big fight now as his value as dropped imo. From what we did see of him, he didnt appear to be a real threat to someone like Pacquiao or Kahn even. Bradley deserves credit reguardless because he was coming on strong and fought a determined fight.

Disappointed with the way it ended, I expected more from Campbell! I'm not really interested in seeing a rematch although this fight was inconclusive, Nate had his chance & bailed... if he wants another shot he's gotta earn it imo

The hate Nate Campbell is getting for stopping with the cut is funny to me. Where were these people when Barerra was fighting Khan? That were saying that Barerra should have backed out of the fight and that the cut was terrible and how Khan should get no credit whatsoever.

Now Bradley gets no criticism whatsoever in fact now Campbell is getting a lot of flack for pulling out.

This double standard in boxing annoys me. On one hand you have a fighter not do it and you bash him and his opponent for it, and on this hand you have a fighter that does it and you say he isn't a warrior and you've lost respect?

Which one is it gonna be?

I agree it should have been a NC. The only difference is that there were two clean rounds prior and I didn't see Campbell in the fight at all. He got the butt and wanted out immediately. In that sense I see it more like Toney:Rahman 2 than Barrera:Khan.

You know for some reason I knew that if I mentioned that fight you'd be the one replying to me

Isn't it there's a head clash prior in round 2 tho no cut suffered yet?

I haven't lost respect for Campbell, I just expected more from such a seasoned veteran, especially in such an important stage of his career. He's one of my favs but he may have made things hard on himself for the near future...

It was a crappy ending to what was supposed to be a great fight.

The referee was worthless, and the cut was caused by an accidental butt and thus the result should have been a NC and not a TKO win for Bradley.

BUT Campbell asked for the fight to be stop and quit. And anytime you quit in the other guys hometown, knowing that the referee never confirmed that the cut was from an accidental clash of heads, well you are risking getting screwed.

There is still a chance the commission could over turn this like they did with the Rahman vs. Toney fight.

No he would not. Your 100% right

Campbell was beat to the punch from beginning to end but rules are rules. If the referee was alert it would be a no contest but either way, that fight belonged to Bradley.
