    Campbell Shows That Age Has It's Benefits

    By Ryan ******** - Conventional wisdom says that a good young fighter will beat a good old fighter. Of recent vintage, Marcus Beyer found himself overmatched by the fresher Mikkel Kessler when they partially unified the super middleweight division in 2006. While few would argue that he landed many effective punches, Jermain Taylor's overall energy level was enough to best Bernard Hopkins over two fights. The Larry Holmes of 1988 had very little to offer a voracious, motivated Mike Tyson, who tore through through Holmes like no one previous or since has. Youth has it's advantages in this, a rough and physical sport. [details]

        Great job as always, Ryan. Glad to see good things finally happen in Nate's career, he's as real as they come in the sport and well deserving of whatever glory he gained from this fight, as well as what lies ahead (hopefully a career-high payday(or paydayS)

          Great article as ALWAYS Ryan.. I couldn't be happier for Nate.. He more than did what he had to do to get the job done.. I think it's funny how so many people are hating on Nate.. Why can't anyone be objective and just accept that Nate was the better man that night????

            Thanks Jake. Nate is a real guy, you have to respect him for that. He tells it like it is, whether it makes sense to anyone other than himself or not. I think a fight with Katsidis could be big, provided Katsidis can help the sales by doing well against Casamayor. It's an interesting styles matchup really.
