It’s time that boxing authorities pulled up and punished idiots like Nate Campbell.

Campbell who’s contesting the IBF junior lightweight title against Robbie Peden in Melbourne on Wednesday, is reported to have threatened to leave Peden brain dead: “You’re going to be brain dead when I’m finished with you.”

I liked this article a lot.

god some people and thier opinions.

did tyson get fined for his rants before the lewis-tyson bout? no

boxers say thier gonna kill each other,clean thier clock, send em
into retirement, destroy them, send em home in bodybags and other
such hyped rants.

you expect fighters to give 100% every fight,to take all the
punishment, possibly get koed then to get up and be sportsmanlike
while the blood and adrenaline is pumping and thier ego is bruised.

its the hardest sport and sportsmanship cannot always be upheld.

now im not excusing the comment but i think a bit of common sense
needs to be applied here.

just my opinion :D

seriuolsy
wtf is this ****
id expect that kind of talk

did u serioulsy fukin recommecnd he go and visit some brain dead people?
thats just dumb
hes an adult
he can say what he wants
it all falls on him
so dumb that u seem to think this is goin to effect boxing popularity

is the guy that wrote this really a boxing fan? he's a ***** and i have a hard time believing that this is the first time he's heard something like this come from a fighter. people talk **** all the time not just boxers, get over it.

sorry rick...weve come down hard on the article..

alls fair in boxing and forums :boxing: :luvbed: :bottle:

When I first read this, I attempted to keep my comments to myself.... I cant though. Through the years in boxing there have been a lot of racial slurs, threats to peoples family as well as their health. This article sounds like something PETA would write. Oh, how many of those threats actually turned out to be true, majority of the time, they stay away and box them. Look at the Hopkins fight!

I don't find it surprising from my experience with boxing and boxers that he's say that. I find it funny considering he LET Peden KTFO the first time.

What a goddamn idiot. He acted like HE'S braindead himself. He's got some nerve; he should be maddest at himself.
