    Campbell = Hasim Rahman

    He knew he was going to lose so he wanted a way out.
    That's what I am saying. It wasn't as much of the cut as the fact that he KNEW he was going to lose, and probably would get TKOed.

    I bet if He had Bradley out on his feet while cut he would continue. It's sad because I thought Campbell had heart.

      IMO Campbell quit to avoid getting KOed. Regardless of the cut he was goign to lose tonight.

        It definitely should be ruled a "no contest".

        But Campbell did seem to be looking for an easy way out, as well.

        I've seen guys with cuts much much worse than that one continue to fight ; Cotto, Klitschko, Wright, Jones, Marquez, Vazquez, etc.......

            I think it should stand. Nate said he didn't want to continue, eventhough the ref and the doctor though he could. IMO thats quitting. His cut wasn't even that bad either. He KNEW he was going to lose.

              Why didn't Cotto quit? Did he go blind? His cut looked worse to me.

                I agree, Campbell quit.

                To me, the result was an RTD with Bradley winning.

                  For real. In his defense though it should have been a nc but no question he was looking for a way out.
