Can't blame Campbell. Why should he continue to fight with a huge disadvantage caused by a head butt. He saw Bradley was much faster then he anticipated & figured he turn a sure loss into a No Contest. He might even get a chance for a re-match. I hate to say it but... Nate seemed very slow tonight & I think his quality boxing days are behind him.

Yep, the sport we love has more than its share of controversy on a regular basis. Reads like I almost just got screwed again on the Hlatshwayo-Drod fight, thank goodness two of the judges didn't cave to Drods hometown influence. Thank you Isaac for getting some of my losses back.

Oh and as far as a rematch, Campbell would REALLY have to make a HUGE case for himself. Even Gary Shaw said that Showtime would have to throw tons of money at him anf they were the champ. Styles make fights and evidently Bradley's is no match for Campbell. No way they fight again
