Timothy Bradley vs. Nate Campbell on Aug 1

[DLT]

I had no problem doing the rematch agreement, because in all honesty Gary Shaw was being very fair in the process. Even though I wouldn't grant him any options on Nate, we found a way to make it work. In instances like this, where your guy ISN'T the mandatory, you have to give the other promoter something. It happens all the time (even though it might not be in the media). So props to Gary for not just saying "I aint doing it without options", which he very well could have. He could have went ahead and fought Peterson instead, and left us sitting here with our thumbs up our asses.

And who knows, there is always the possibility that after Nate puts it on Bradley, Bradley may not even want the rematch, just like Juan Diaz didn't want one.

What up OnePunch? Glad to see that Shaw came around. I knew that he didnt deserve any options and that Bradley couldnt get a bigger fight than Campbell. He couldve fought Peterson but this fight is for more money, a far bigger name, and Bradley probably see's them as equal in terms of difficulty so its a no brainer. Should be a great fight against 2 of my favorites but I dont like what I saw last fight from Nate and I think the weight may have caught up to him. Sure he's moving up now but is it too late?

I question his chin more with that knock down in the last round, the first kd was sick and it's crazy got up that quick and was fine.

I always thought Holt has really underrated hand speed and power.
I never felt he was getting to the top thoughh getting blasted out by Thomas Davis of all people in 1 round. But he showed differently in other fights.

The thing about Holt though, he takes lots of rounds off and that was his problem in the Bradley fight. It was like he was discouraged after early success.
I think Campbell will give Bradley a great fight, because I just don't see Nate taking the time off that Holt did.

That's always been Holt's problem his inactivity in the ring. I don't think Campbell will have that problem so Campbell will be harder for Bradley.

And Campbell can punch pretty well. If he's not knocking down Bradley, he will keep him honest.

According to fight news...

Bradley to face Campbell!

Sources have informed *********.com that WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley will defend against former unified lightweight champion Nate Campbell on August 1 at a site to be determined. The bout will be televised by SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. We’ve also learned that the deal includes a rematch clause. The WBO has signed off on the bout, but WBO Paco Valcarcel told ********* that the winner must face interim titlist Lamont Peterson.

Bradley's youth and speed will be too much for old vet imo, its still a great match up though, because Nate can punch and he is a crafty son of a gun.

I agree with you.

Holt is in my top 3 for speed of hand and he has a decent pop to. I dont think Bradley saw those shots Holt hit him with, and that is why i think they had an effect.

Can't wait, been a big fan of Campbell since he came on my radio show, he's definitely one of the best fighters to watch, he comes to get it and takes no prisoners.

WAR CAMPBELL!

What I don't understand is why would Showtime have Championship Boxing on the same night as Fedor vs Barnett PPV. They don't think this would hinder its sales?

Fedir isn't a huge PPV attraction, the last PPV he had I believe was Arlovski only did 12,000.

Bradley UD12.

Campbell will try his usual ****in, but since Holt couldn't get the job done (even though I scored that fight a draw) I doubt the 'Galaxxy Warrior' will. He's old, anyway.

Campbell-Holt would've been more interesting. At least then we most likely would've seen a KO.

Bradley has shown he has what it takes to be a winner.

I expect him to win a clear UD in this one.
