I feel sorry for Bradley though, he was dominating the fight and Campbell was clearly using it as a way out screaming that he couldn't see etc.

But it was a headbutt, and as such a N/C is fair as it was stopped inside 4 rounds.

I expect Miles is simmering with rage over the whole episode of course.

The only dominating I saw from Bradley was after the cut. Bradley was even on the back foot for parts of the first two rounds. The commentator even says that its unusual to see Bradley on the back foot. I want to see a rematch for sure, but I bet you Bradley ain't so keen on it despite his on air words....

A little acknowledgment of a fighter making adjustments and showing some alternate gears?Bradley was showing a nice jab and straight punches knowing that Campbell is an extremely cagey inside fighter.Bradley is not oozing charisma by any means but when he saw a spot,he stepped it up and really put it on Nate.I don't think Bradley would go sheepish as far as rematch...now that tub of goo Gary shaw ??

Ive always respected Nate but do think he rolled the dice knowing full well the inner workings of the rules and the whole inside of 4 round rule when dealing with cuts.....The ref clearly blew the call but also indicated the cut was caused by a punch,twice when it happened in the judges direction....Nate said nothing about not seeing when the ref checked the cut at rounds end,only after he looked at it on the arena jumbo tron screen......crazy thing is that the Dr. dismissed the physical cut when talking stoppage with Nate."I'm not talking about the cut"...Nate said he could not see so fight over.Odd one really.

Get over it guys. No decision should be the correct result due to the cut suffered from accidental headbutt. A "no decision" result is included in the rule book to cover situations like this.

I think bradley would take the rematch in a heartbeat but I dont think he will get paid enough to make it worth it. The networks saw what we saw and that is Nate was going to get dominated......There wont be a rematch.....shame for Nate...but he hasnt managed his career very well so he has no one to blame but himself.....
