Luke Campbell - How Far Will He Go?

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

What weight is he fighting at?.

[Tom Cruise]

Lightweight i think

Lightweight i think

He was a bantanweight amateur. Happy he moved up in weight, because I think he's easily capable of being a force in the lightweight division. He's already better than Crolla, Coyle, Matthews, Rees etc in terms of talent. Give him a year and he'll beat them in the ring. Including Burns.

It's actually quite weak division these days, kind of disappointing. The top 15 is dominated by British level fighters. Hopefully Campbell could go on to rule it - It would be good for boxing imo.

Sam,

I know reading all the way through a post can be tiring but here's the last couple of sentences from my original post.

"I've seen his three fights & he looks decent but I'm still not even convinced European class, let alone World.

Time will shape my view of the lad but I really hope he does well."

Which is pretty much the same as what you wrote above.

I didn't say he's not Euro level, just that he hasn't convinced me he is yet.

And he definitely hasn't done anything at pro level to deserve the gushing of the Sky crowd although we all know that they'll talk whatever shyte they're told to by their bosses.

So, what did I say that was harsh on the lad?

lol serious? Based on tonight?

Just based on the 3 fights I've seen.

Doesn't look impressive to me.

He's beginning to look like a strong and convincing lightweight whose adding some zap to go with his fast hands, busy engine and also very decent shot picking. I am not going to make a call just yet......


.....but I suspect he's going to be the pick of the British London Olympic medallists with Ogogo also surprising us in a good way as well.

Did Auntie Glenda really make the DLH comparison

Hm, it's the first time I've heard that.

I think he's been looking very good, albeit against lower rate opposition. He took a few shots yesterday that he shouldn't have, but I think he wanted to get some rounds in.

He should go for a British title at some stage within the next 5-8 fights.
