    Bradley won't be towering over Campbell though and he won't have a ten foot reach advantage either. That was a massive win for Campbell and I'm often stunned by the lack of respect he gets for it. Hugely underrated win. Funeka was the same size as Tommy Hearns and fighting a genuine lightweight sized guy. Funeka also has big power and had just recently knocked out cold Zahir Raheem, who if anything was a difficult, slick guy. Man, that was a hard fight and Campbell showed serious heart and skill overcoming him. Funeka is over six foot tall! Whereas Bradley is 5'6". Funeka also has very good skills and his only loss up to that fight was very early in his career against the future world champ Fana.

    Soon though, Funeka will show how good he is and Campbell will get the respect he deserves for that win. He will be really hard to beat for any fighter today.

    On the actual fight itself, I think it will be difficult for both guys. Campbell is slick and tricky, can **** or counter whereas Bradley is a huge workhorse and could outfight just through sheer heart and will alone, though it will be hard. Either way it should be a great fight.

    I can't wait for Agbeko/Darchinyan either. That will also be a really hard for both guys and I think Agbeko is a very, very live underdog. All the Ghanians are seriously tough guys and can't be hurt and he has also shown that he is a huge puncher. Darchinyan moving up will have to be very careful of this guy as he is pretty small for BW and it could show as Agbeko is a big, solid, tough guy.

    Very hard fight to pick as his first one at that new weight. Not sure it will be a good idea after all. He may have wanted to acclimate a bit more with some smaller, easier fights before taking on the hardest hitting, and certainly one of the toughest, guys in the division.

    I don't think Darchinyan will KO him and I could see Darchinyan getting KO'd though if he gets careless, but as long as he keeps his boxing going and keeps his defense good as he has been doing lately he should be able to get a UD. Great fight! It will end as a UD for Darchinyan or a KO for Agbeko.

        Good match ups. Hope that nobody gets injured and the fight cancelled or that Campbell shows up at the weight limit

          "Bradley will not be served a home-cooked dinner on August 1, so I urge him to enjoy breakfast and lunch beforehand with all of his friends, family and fans."

          Nate always has some good quotes. I hope he goes into broadcasting when he retires.

              Okay, Darchinyan. Go the easy route and avoid the undisputed Bantamweight champ. Real smooth.... real smooth. (sarcasm).

              Bradley-Campbell should be good.

                Bradley's work rate is sick but so was Juan Diaz and we all saw how Nate changed that up. I think this is Nate's bout. If he keeps the jab in Bradley's face all night and do what Holt failed to do it can be his for the taking but then again Bradley is no joke either and he is facing very good opposition and takin it to them. Damn good fight and won't miss it.

                  I think Bradley will lose to Campell. I actually like Bradley's style of fighting, but his lack of punching power to go with it is a big down fall. He also has amatuerish flaws where defense is concerned. I like Agbeko over Darchinyan.

                    I have to agree, I didn't like the way he was squaring up against Kendall Holt. You square up on someone like that especially a veteran like Nate and he will make you pay for that mistake. Kendall Holt's lack of activity is why he lost that fight. Nate should capitalize on Bradley's mistake's if Bradley commits them again.
