lets see kendall holt showed the world what a good puncher could do to bradley, and campbell is one of the smartest, slickest, defensive, and underratted hitting cats in the game....one of my biggest upsets years back was Campbell over diaz.....I would have to favor campbell at those odds regardless since holt in my opinion could have won that fight....(i bet bradley)

I favor Bradley, but I'm surprised the odds are that lopsided. Campbell has a fair amount of pop, and is a tremendous body puncher, but he's not great at finishing a guy off. Can't tell you how many times I've seen him have someone going only to smother himself and let his wounded prey off the hook.
I think Bradley has underrated ring IQ. I've never seen the guy get handled in all three minutes of a round because he makes adjustments on the fly. He's crafty for a young fighter. Nate will have the clear advantage on the inside, but I think Bradley will do enough on the outside to win a close decision.
Not touching this one.

Maybe, it's just me, but I think the odds are about right. Bradley is technically sound, has a good head on his shoulders, and he's the naturally bigger guy. Campbell's a great guy from what it seems and a great story with the way he has resurrected his career, but I really think that he gets way too much credit for the win over Diaz. I think if the cut doesn't happen then Diaz has his hand raised that night. Against Funeka he was pushed to the limit by a guy who I think that Bradley has no problem with, maybe weight was an issue for Campbell, but on that night he doesn't beat Bradley. I remember Campbell complaining after the fight against Isaac that Isaac just was too big weight wise for him, well Bradley may not be as tall, but he is a naturally larger guy and much more talented then Isaac.

I really don't like Nate Campbell at all. I don't think seeing him as good really places you ahead of the curve now like it might have against Juan Diaz. He's been living off of that win for a while now, and I don't really think much of JuanD these days either. Campbell was horrendous against Funeka, in a fight that most people seem to only remember as Campbell winning. I think Holt and Bradley are a class above Campbell, who is a nice guy, and it's really a shame that Guzman decided to duck him and take all of that money out of his wallet. I think Nate ends up following Bradley around the ring in this one and not getting much done effectively.

This fight has me at least as pumped as Hatton - Pacquiao, and probably even more pumped than Cotto - Clottey. I'd be very leary of writing Nate off in this one. Whatever the outcome, he is going to look like a completely different fighter than he did in the Funeka fight. This is a gut feeing more than anything else, but I think Nate has a great fight left in him. At the same time, Bradley is about as game as they come.
My initial lean is Bradley by a very thin decision.
