This fight was close in the early rounds, and a wipeout for Campbell late.
Campbell wasn't on his bike at all in this fight. He seriously fought Juan's fight 100% and still won. Pretty impressive on his part.
why so much hatred in the hearts of posters at the boxingscene for the mexican people?-Viva MexicoI think it's the other way around. They hate it when their fighters lose and it's really hard for some of them to accept it. Some of them blame just about everything the ref, don king, judges etc. But it's not only mexicans, we see other races do the exact same thing.
Havn't seen it. Credit to Campbell for the win.
But having the fight held in Mexico tells me King was up to something. Soliman is buddies with King. And im sure no drug test was taken from Campbell.
I remember Azumah Nelson was a late sub for S.S and Nelson looked very prepared for such a great fighter. I just see the resemblence in surcomstances.Oh come on! Noone here is saying Diaz should've won. He lost via split D because it was held in mexico. Had it been held in the US it would've been a UD for campbell. He lost plain and simple.
BUMP....lemme bump this thread..so just to perpetuate a little bit the stupidity of the thread starter...
"King was succesfull in giving Diaz a lose" LOL...another conspiracy theorist nut job!
Yet you still refuse to respond to my question with anything related to boxing. Face it, you got called out and had no answer. You're a troll who just bitches and runs instead of making yourself look like more of an idiot with more ridiculous statements. That is actually a good quality. I don't think anyone really wants to see anymore of your ignorance.
yup, and racist as well
I grew up around alot of mexicans and I think this ferocity might be the Cholo wannabe egghead type.
Man, you guys are fucken too funny.
I believe that a fighter who comes up in difficult circumstances, even when he takes an early loss or two, learns more than being put in with hand-picked opponents. Campbell was fighting guys 7-0 when he was 7-0. That's called tough matchmaking. Juan Diaz wasn't being put in with that kind of opposition because he was seen as the marquee idol who you make sure doesn't lose.
That's why I knew Margarito would beat Cintron the first time around. Cintron had never faced trouble and had a guy in front of him who was all about trouble.
There was a reason Diaz wasn't put in with guys like Campbell. His style is only good with slow fighters who have to stand and fight his fight.
Is Diaz shot? Well, I prefer a fighter to be brought up with controlled adversity. Meaning, that by the time he steps up with a mean mofo, he has seen different situations and knows how to deal with them. Diaz found out what adversity is all about in one night and didn't pass the test. It's more mental than physical, but don't get me wrong, Diaz has been taking a lot of punishment for years. Against Julio Diaz, his face was marked up and he was barely even hit. That's the mark of a guy who doesn't have the best defense and can't continue like that.
Mentally, I don't think he can recover. When a fighter who hasn't been "hit" gets hit, he stays "hit". See Jason Litzau.
You were doing good up until the end. See Lennox Lewis.
There is a difference between taking a career ending beating the way Lacy did, or having an uncorrectable flaw exposed as Litzau did and simply being out fought because you were unable to adapt.
Adapting to different styles can be taught. Diaz would have done much better had he mixed up his strait forward pressure with in and out movement. He needs more lateral movement. He really needs to learn from Ricky Hatton how to make the most of that type of style.
He has many more physical gifts than Hatton has. He is much slicker than Hatton, and can put punches together better than Hatton, but he doesn't have the foot movment he needs to be able to adapt his style to adversity.
Had Diaz had the feet or the smarts to take a half step back from body shots, he could have blocked or made Campbell miss with most of them.
Diaz is use to using his pressure to take away his opponents tools. He needs to be taught to use his head to take them away as well.
man, you're just talking shit, what im i supposed to take you seriously, come on now

I dont between this guy and Xcaret If I was a mexican and posting on these boards I would report them for bringing shame to the mexican people! the longer these ignorant guys keep posting it just makes people think different.
a few bad apples spoil the bunch sometimes.
Sometimes you just gotta shake your head in disgust that some people can be so stupid.
I'm ok with that. It further proves how much of a whiny punk you turn into when you're wrong.

efen childish, keep talking about your attitude and your way of generalizing people
I'm just asking a simple question, but I see its to hard for you to accept getting called out on something and responding with a real answer.
Damn, your bars are turning red, blood red. wtf
