Nate made a calculated move based on the rules of the sport. He was cut due to a headbutt. It would as they often do, prove to be an edge for his opponent in the long haul. Before 4 rounds, it is a ND. Simple as. And frankly, whether he was behind or ahead shouldn't matter. It's irrelevant. Sure the flow maybe helped the decision, but again, irrelevant. Ref. goofed it and that is all, imo.
I don't think Campbell is bum at all; I'm still a big fan of his.

While I think the fight should have been a N/C, it appeared to me (and many others) that Campbell had no answers from Bradley and was looking for a way out. He should know boxing well enough that to quit without hearing a ruling on the butt was a recipe for disaster.

Furthermore, they way he has acted since the moment the fight ended has been somewhat classless and he deserves to take his lumps for it. This all reminds me of a more extreme version of the aftermath of the the Winky - Taylor fight in regards to the actions of the fighters.
