Gabriel Campillo defeats Hugo Garay to win WBA light heavyweight title

[The Hammer]

I wonder who he'll fight in his first title defense? He doesn't have a big promoter.

Maybe Braehmer.


I figure his best bet is to go to Germany and hook up with Sauerland or Universum to get him some sort of money fight.

Campillo was 17-2 going into the fight. His losses were to previously undefeated up and comers Vyacheslav Uzelkov and Karo Murat.

How good are those guys? Losing to two undefeated up and comers isn't a big deal if they are both the real deal, but... I just have a hard time believing that so much talent was packed into those 2 fights that all three of those guys are going to make it huge.

I just have to believe that 175 is quickly becoming the most hit or miss division in boxing. Guys on top like Dawson, Johnson and Hopkins are solid on top. George and Cloud are good up and comers (supposively) and everyone else seems to be fairly terrible.

I don't like a division where the only fighters to pay attention to are from the US. It makes me feel like a US-centric ****, but... the people from outside of the country keep dropping fights they should be winning.

By the way, I can't believe there was talk for a while of Dawson ducking Diaconu so he could take an easier fight with Tarver.

I forgot about Shumenov... he's obviously the man, and I want him to take over that division.

So Beibut Shumenov (sp) might as well just have the WBA title now. I can't believe Garay lost. God Erdei sucks...

That is the first thing I thought when you told me Garay lost... GOD Erdei sucks.
