Campbell-Guzman Debacle; Both Sides Discuss The Mess

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - BILOXI, Miss. -- Nate Campbell went through the whole routine. He sequestered himself from the wife and kids, put in eight weeks of hard training and prepared for 12 rounds of in-ring dissension with unbeaten challenger Joan Guzman at the Beau Rivage Casino & Resort.

Guzman doesn't deserve a second chance at this fight. Nate should move on for bigger and better things. If Guzman gets that 1 year suspension, does he really think Campbell is gonna wait around a year for another fight. The man is not getting any younger and needs to cash in on the big fights as soon as he can.

Guzman never really proved himself and felt the pressure coming on to this big fight, pressure does bust pipes

I still want to see this fight bad, hopefully Nate still takes the fight. Either that or I want to see him fight Juan Diaz. He won't have the fire in him much longer so hopefully he gets a good fight soon.

Yo, I could just imagine Joshua Clottey saying "Eh....Margarito." That should sounds so damn funny in my head.

They shouldn't suspend him. If Nate would be willing to fight another time, then he should be given a percentage of Guzman's purse. Maybe 15% or something. At least that way the fans get to see a great fight 'cause this would have been a great fight.

Anyway, let's hope that something semi-good can come of it all. Maybe another fight down the track. This is really bad news for Guzman though and very, very lacking overall.

The suspension is only in the state of mississippi, they could fight anywhere else.
Hopefully the sanctioning bodies and other promoters will hold this against Guzman for the foreseeable future.

Boo..

He was in tears? Whose fault is that? Make weight ****head..

Campbell appeared in the ring briefly after the announcement and promised fans he'd meet them in the lobby and 'sign anything you want me to sign, and talk about anything you want to talk about, as long as it's not too kinky, because my wife's not into that stuff.'

That is pretty cool...

In the ESB site, they have Campbell vs Dawson cancelled. Did not know they were fighting.
