Bradley-Campbell Rematch

[bojangles1987]

Campbell was right, it should have been a no contest, but he looked very old and slow. Bradley may have been well on his way to stopping Nate anyway. Nate apparently came into the fight thinking applying pressure would throw the normally pressuring Bradley off his game and seemed very wrong. We'll see what happens, but we all saw afterwards that Campbell wants a rematch and Bradley along with his people seem receptive.

If a rematch happens, do you see Campbell or Bradley doing anything differently? I would assume Campbell would play matador in a rematch since being the aggressor didn't work at all and it led to so many head clashes. Bradley shouldn't do anything differently, he was working Nate over pretty well.

Age is catching Nate. I can see Brad dominating him. I hope he can reverse if it ever there will be a rematch

1. if there is a rematch , nate will lose.

2. it was a headbutt.

3. it'll end up being changed to a no contest.

4. the only reason it will be a NC is because nate made it one. they weren't gonna stop the fight , the cut wasn't that bad. the only reason they stopped it is because nate complained/lied about not being able to see.

nate knew if it went 1 more round , it'd go to a decision. he expected a NC. he wanted a NC.

very hector camacho jr.-like of nate.

Rematch without a doubt decision was wrong!

i just watched the fight on showtime delay because I was working all night till 6 am and I have to say the rematch has to happen. Not sure what everyone was watching but Nate took the first round, Bradley took the 2nd and definitely the 3rd but that headbutt was truly what turned the fight around for Bradley. I have to say that I was dissappointed in the way Bradley made his statements because if the shoe was on the other foot he would have felt cheated just like Nate. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong and that decision is definitely WRONG!

There needs to be an immediate rematch and that BS about the money being right from Shaw only tells me that he is definitely concerned because Nate is a warrior. Anyways, that's my two cents on this fight. Promoters make it happen the fans want it.

bradley had guilt all over his face he knows that **** was a no decision.

No one will buy it. Unless it is a co-main event.

1. It was obviously a clash of heads.
2. Bradley initiatied the clash by leaning in.
3. The fight was pretty even through the first two rounds. Bradley was landing more but it looked like Campbell was punching harder.
4. The ring doctor saw there was blood in the back of Campbell's eye which would cause him to see spots and legitimately impair his vision.
5. The only two reasons the fight became Bradley dominated in the third round was because Campbell looked to the referee to jump in and stop it which he didn't AND Campbell couldn't see.
The fight should be a no contest and an immediate rematch is in order.

Good summary. The fight reminded me of Rahman - Toney, which was also stopped on a cut caused by an accidental butt. Like this, it was originally recorded as a TKO win for Toney, before subsequently being overturned into a no decision. I wouldn't be surprised if this was too.

I think Nate was going to take a lot of punches

but I had the feeling that the constant pressure was going to "chop tim down to size" later on, he expended a lot of energy early. Nate though also wasted a lot of energy complaining to the ref.
