Nate Campbell: "I'm Keeping My Belts"~Boxing News
Experts feel IBF/WBA/WBO lightweight champion Nate “Galaxxy Warrior” Campbell (39-5-1, 25 KOs) is in serious danger of losing his crowns against undefeated former two-time WBO champion Joan “Sycuan Warrior” Guzman (28-0, 17 KOs) when they meet Saturday night at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Danny Sheridan of USA Today has Joan Guzman as a 2 to 1 favorite over Nate Campbell, while the MGM/Mirage Sports Book has Guzman as the favorite at -220 with Campbell the underdog at +180.
“What’s strange about this fight is that I have three belts and I still don’t get any respect," said Campbell at today's press conference. "All the other guys get the praises and respect, but I’m always the underdog. I’ve come to relish that role because I know what I’m capable of. If you think I’m going to give up my belts to Joan Guzman, you’re crazy. I have nothing against Joan Guzman, but he isn’t getting my belts. If he wants them, he better bring it on Saturday night!"
Campbell's trainer John David Jackson added, “We respect Guzman’s talent, but on Saturday he’s going to find out what it means to be a real fighter. He’s going to get a beating and a lesson in what it takes to be a real fighter. He’s not going to know what happened until he looks at the tape.”
Guzman stated, "We’re ready for whatever Nate is going to bring. We’ve prepared well, we’ve prepared hard and we came here for the victory....fight fans know that this lightweight fight is the fight to watch on Saturday. History will be made. You’ll see Joan Guzman become the first Dominican-born boxer to win titles in three weight classes.”
Guzman's trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr. commented "If Guzman fights the way he’s suppose to fight, he’s going to put a whopping on Campbell. It’s as simple as that. There’s nothing left to say. Guzman will become a three-division champion on Saturday.”
