Notice: Nate Campbell WAS in the fight.

[Kobe Bryant]

The fight was going Bradley's way. Things could have changed but I think it was unlikely. Bradley was having success in almost every area of the fight in those 3 rounds. He was moving and boxing, he did well on the inside, and he did well coming forward at times.

I don't think Nate would have had the energy to keep up with Bradley. He didn't want to fight. He really wanted the fight stopped. He was begging. His corner even wanted him to continue.

Hardly....

I don't know why people have such a hard time seeing through the flash when it comes to Nate. If Floyd Mayweather put on the exact same performance, many of these people would be on here praising his defense and intelligence.

I have to disagree with you, although it was clear the headbutt seriously effected Nate and if not he could have probably gone the whole 12, he was far from in the fight, Bradley was completely out boxing him. Nate was trying hard to do some good work against Bradley on the inside, but he wasn't landing very often cause bradley would never stay on the inside, and when bradley would stay on the outside and use the jab, Campbell had no answer. Bradley was busier, more accurate, and he would have done this all night, so unless Nate could have landed something to take him out at some point, Bradley would have won a UD.

i noticed nate was blocking alot of shots bradley looked better tho .. i mean nates got experience he knew wat he was doin

[sammiza567]

bradley does not deserve the w b/c you THINK that since he was controlling the fight through the first two rounds the rest of the fight would have gone the same. it is not a valid argument as this is fighting and anything can happen. also, nate being the techniciam that he is, had a very good chance of catching bradley eventually and finishing him. if there was a rematch i would still go with nate, although i completely understand if more people will pick bradley the next go around. that is just common sense, but i am 100% confident nate would have gotten to bradley eventually.

Nate was right, however he did ask his corner to stop the fight.

He said 'Listen to me, stop it now!'

Which is fine. Just stating a fact anyway.

Overall the card was a huge let down, and to think I spent 8 hours downloading it lol

Bradley was having success in every area except the area that counts, putting leather on Nate Campbell.

You can box and look pretty all you want, but if you aren't putting leather on your opponent, you are not boxing effectively. Go back and watch the fight. Watch who is putting leather on who.

Nate is slipping sliding, blocking, catching, rolling. The best Bradley could manage was glancing blows.

You say Nate wouldn't have been able to keep up with Bradley? Nate wasn't burning energy, Nate didn't have to keep up with anyone. He was fighting at his pace, and eventually Bradley would have had to slow down to his pace.

I don't think there is any question that at the very least, Nate would have made it a difficult 12 rounds for Bradley with a healthy eye, and there is a good possibility he could have taken the win.

I said the exact same thing about Juan Diaz-Nate Campbell and most people said it was b.s Campbell showed he was the better fighter. Double Standard.

I agree with Shawn. Nate was doing most of the pressing. Even the announcers were saying how they weren't used to see Bradley going back.

The facts can't be disputed. If anyone watches the replay they will be hard pressed to find Bradley landing cleanly. Even after the butt, Bradley goes on to miss 10-15 punches in his "flashy flurry".

Nate was using tons of angles. Maybe he is forced to with his 37 year old legs, but honestly, it's the way all boxers should fight. Bradley could learn a thing or two by watching replays of himself miss all night.

Nate had a gameplan and he was making Timmy expel a lot of nervous energy early in the fight. Everyone keeps saying Nate quit because of a cut, but it wasn't the cut that forced him out of the fight. It was his vision.

And if Diaz had it to do all over again, given the chance to take a ND over a loss of his belts, he would take the ND. Bravado gets you nothing but punch drunk and blind.
