    “Fighting Words” – Nate Campbell: Following a Pattern, But Not the Blueprint

    by David P. Greisman - Jose Luis Castillo, Diego Corrales and Nate Campbell. Each was a lightweight whose unwillingness to take a backward step had launched him forward to the top of his division.

    Each, soon, was no longer a lightweight.

    Corrales and Castillo knew no other way but to trade vicious hooks and power shots. Their awe-inspiring battle of attrition in May 2005 saw the best at 135 pound away at each other, Corrales stopping Castillo to make himself number one. Castillo, who moments before had been on the verge of stopping Corrales, was a narrowly close number two.

    Five months later, for their rematch, Castillo tipped the scales at 138.5 pounds. His one-punch knockout of Corrales could have been a decisive triumph. Instead it was a controversial victory. He was even heavier for their rubber match, coming in at 139.5 pounds. The bout was called off. [details]

    Soupy is nothing more than a urine sample

    Soupy is a piece of dog **** and should be torture viciously.


    RIP Vernon, my heart breaks....This man is dead for something senseless...What is going on with this world when material objects are worth more than a human life. You cannot take your car, bling-bling, & money with you when u leave this world so why make a big fuss over what someone else has and take their life so senselessly.

    RIP Vernon, you recent action in the ring may have pissed me off but your overall track record was impeccable and you were a fine human being.


    I remember one fight where Vernon had one of the kids he sponsors from Destiny Child with him.....that shows class.

      Why are you always so harsh on Nate Campbell?

        because she tried to hit on Nate one time after a fight a few years back, and Nate had zero interest in her.

          To beat Bardley, Nate is gonna have to be active. Holt gave Bradley alot of problems and Nate is more skilled/ better body attack/ can aply more pressure then Holt. Bradley has an amateurish fighting style, tends to flurry alot and get out the way. If Nate comes in there blazing, like he did against Juan Diaz, he can win this.

                yeah, I cant remember the fight. Coulda been the 2nd Tiger Martinez fight, or maybe Carlos Navarro. The fight was on the east coast though......

                  She is indeed a woman scorned. Poor hideous girl. Scares me a little though. Imagine if Nate did hook up with her?

                  Damn, it could have ended up in death with the way she goes on about him!

                    If Nate can bring the 100 punch a rd heat he did wit Diaz he can beat Bradley. I don't see that tho. Bradley should win based on speed imo. I do think it'll be close either way tho.
