I really think Joan Guzman is going to whoop on Campbell. Sucks because Campbell seems like good people.

Meh. I think Campbell is gonna be to strong for Guzman. Should be exciting but I see Campbell winning convincingly.

Diaz was supposed to be too young, too busy against him too but we know how that turned out. The guy's not the greatest but i have alot more faith in him than Guzman. Guzman is trash. He doesnt even live up to his moniker.

Guzman is like 32, he isn't young at all, but he has some experience too. And let's not act like Campbell pulled off some domainating performance. He was losing like the first 6 rounds until he cut Diaz with either a punch or a headbutt (Can't really tell). That cut ****ed Diaz up big time and Diaz couldn't deal with a strong body puncher like Campbell.

Guzman should be able to win if he keeps his distance and picks Campbell apart. Campbell actually has the longer arms which could be a problem, but if Guzman counters when Campbell is coming in, he should be able to get off faster and disrupt Campbell. Campbell's best bet is actually either waiting on the outside and then coming in at the right moment and jabbing while doing it. He has the longer arms so jabbing on his way might get there first even though Guzman's hands are faster. A good solid jab seems the way to disrupt speed and the type of defense Guzman has, which is a very good one.

Still at the end of the day, Guzman's speed and "youth" should help give him the advantage from Campbell. He just needs to be very accurate and get out of the way from Campbell's longer reach and power.
