Nicely put MisterHardTop.

I cant believe it I am actually AGREEING WITH LACEDUP, I suppose a broken clock is right twice a day.

26 is very young, and don't forget the Amateurs gives you very good basics.


Think of it like poker, a great cash game player has a very high chance of being a good tournament player. not guaranteed, but they have mastered the basics so well they will go on.

Luke Campbell was punch perfect in his match against a guy who was braver than anything. They could have stopped it in the 4th tbh.

"Cant crack an egg" ffs

Unlike laced up I predict things correctly and I will say Luke Campbell will go on to be a ATG.

They'll deliver him a world title... But you wont really know how good he might be until about his 8-10th fight.

I think it's a fair comparison. They both won gold medals, started in the same weight class (I believe), good looks, charm etc. I think it's a good comparison.

What I would agree is cringe worthy is them trying to build him up to something he's not. I hate when people do that..

case in point:

"The future people's world champion".

Wtf does that even mean?

Did you never watch wwf? The comparison was obviously he can go on to be as successful as The Rock.

All jokes aside that was a terrible piece of commentary.

Glen McCrory keeps comparing him to Oscar De la Hoya.

STOP IT!!!

Luke might be a decent fighter but that's stretching things a hell of a lot.

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.

I totally agree with you he aint no oscar de la hoya thats for sure you can still see the amateur style hes got a style which got him a gold medal good luck in the pro game hes gonna have to learn fast!!

Firstly we all know pundits and presenters are filling air.
Secondly the lad has a gold medal and whilst I don't know much of his amateur background. I think those skills alone get him a European belt.
It'd be interesting to see a list of gold medalists and how far they got in the pro ranks.

On a side note I'm no klit fan but not to have them in p4p list seems biased Rocky

I think he's a very exciting prospect. He has terrific movement, dazzling hand speed, extensive variety of punches and heavy hands. I think we should all enjoy his progress and support him all the way.
