    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.

    I see the obvious similarities between the fights though, it's all a damn shame because it had all the makings of a decent fight really. Hopefully there will be a rematch.

    At some point they said the doctor advised the fight to be stopped because of bleeding behind the eye, and Nate was saying he couldn't see out the eye. I don't think he meant because of the cut bleeding into the eye. I just hope that it turns out to be alright. From what I saw in the fight though Campbell has either gotten really old overnight or was really rusty. I don't know that the time off before a rematch is going to do him much good.

    I think Campbell tried being clever, as he new the cut would only get worst and after 4 rounds more chance of it going to Bradley if it was stopped.

    Bit of a shame really but props to Bradley starting to get on a bit of a roll and I think he deserves a big fight now. Where do you see him going? There isnt much happening at 140 in terms of huge money fights other than Hatton v Bradley and I cant see Hatton fighting a dangerous fighter like Bradley. I like Bradelys attitude maybe he will have to go 147 if he wants the big pay days.

    I like Bradley, he tries hard. He is nothing special in any particular area but has fairly quick hands and works and works. You sense that he is getting better fight by fight too. I think he should stick around at 140 for a few more fights as he is young and makes the weight easily. But you are right in that 140 looks a bit dry at the moment.

    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.

    Thats what surprised me. Nate is always complaining about the politics of boxing, yet as a seasoned pro he banks on the Calafornia officials to be "fair." He is now 0-3 in California. I think that he does have issues fighting away from his hometown of Florida, which he seldom does.

    IMO Nate wanted out of that fight. I think he knew he was outgunned and as soon as the cut happened he tryed to get out of the fight. Like others have said Nate should have at least found out what the ruling was on the cut (punch or HB). Instead he basically told his corner he quit. Once he found out the ref ruled it a punch he should have at least tryed to continue for a half round or so. See what happens.......

    I think Nate knew he was behind on the cards, and felt the cut was bad and the fight would be stopped in the next couple rounds so rather than go to the cards and lose a decision he tried to get a no contest.

    It backfired though cus of the ref being a dodgy lil bitch.

    the old dummy nate came out last night. Nate wanted out of that fight and intentionally tried to get a no contest decision. His suppose to be a matured pro now but relied on officials to call the fight fair? He was getting beat up and knock back to the ropes.

    I think Bradley deserves credit he pounded Nate anywhere he can hit him. Nate imo knew he wasn't going to last so he went for a nc decision.
