Nate Campbell deserves a ton of props. Just look at the last couple of years. He was to take on undefeated and big favorite in Juan Diaz. Then lines up another very risky fight in Joan Guzman. Then takes on another unbelievably risky fight in Ali Funeka. Now going up to fight another undefeated and risky fight in Bradley. And wheres the payoff?? None of these guys are big names, guys that no one really wants to fight.

He's shown the willingness to fight whoever, so whatever you're opinions about the man you must respect that. He's a smaller version of Glenn Johnson, but better. Or maybe a better comparison is Bernard Hopkins, someone who never takes tune up fight and only fights the best.

thats why hes one of my favourite fighters. nate is a true throwback to the old school fighters. takes on anyone, and always come to fight. everything boxing needs in a fighter.

would be a good fight indeed but nowhere near pac/cotto..

i disagree. look forward to campbell-bradley alot, pac-cotto not so much. ill watch it cuz its a big fight but not for the fight itself.

i was thinking about this the other day - JMM takes on the winner of bradley/campbell and then he suddenly becomes a major player in the 140 department. imo pacman will lose at 145 and when he comes back down in weight JMM will be waiting.

but enough about pacman and JMM.

me thinks that bradley has this. i wouldn't say he stops nate but i can see him outowrking the 37year old and using his handspeed to cruise to the UD. imo it will be 116-112, campbell is a good fighter with a good right hand and good timing.

i see a similar scenario as we saw in calzaghe/hopkins, one fighter intiates the attack, lands more punches and finishes the attack but the other fighter lands the cleaner blows (right hand in particular) punctuating the exchanges.

is that what happened in that fight? wouldn't a more accurate description be one fighter comes forward, can't land anything and walks into punches?

I have to respect Bradley for fighting in a determined style, but his lack of punching power is really going to hold him back in the marketability department. You have to have the ability to finish your opponent if you want to become a star. Juan Diaz is a good example of an aggressive light punching fighter that Nate Campell took care of. This will be the case here.

Great fight. Bradley is quietly building a resume. Witter, Holt, Campbell. Just wish he had a bit more power. He did drop Witter.

And Cherry which is somewhat impressive.

I see this as being a slightly less messy repeat of Bradley-Holt, with the same result - Bradley UD.

but juan diaz walked straight into nate campbell trying to bully him. bradley is a boxer more than anything. campbell doesn't like to use his legs as we saw against funeka.

[MANGLER]

Bradley wins a close fight imo. I'm more excited about this than Pac-Cotto.

Co-sign my man. This is a fight between two hungry fighters duking it out for bragging rights over money and none of this catch weight bull**** is going to come into play. Now we just need Campell to not f#ck it up like he did in his last fight by not making weight.
