“Fighting Words” – No Mas? Nate Campbell Says: “This Was Different.”

[dwidsid3d]

Whats really funny is EVERY fighter who gets cut worries about not seing again.Nates cut a band aid could have contained ALL FIGHT.Of course NOW 5that the comission might suspend Nate untill a medical board clears him ,NOW its getting better DAY by day.What was hilarious was if you rewatch the fight Nate was ADAMENT he couldn't see and saw "WHITE SPOTS"as soon as he found out it would be a win for Bradley because it wasn't a butt,watch ,he suddenly forgets the cut(I fell almost embarrassed with the cuts weve seen on fighters like Klitshko,Gatti,Cotto,juan Diaz even calling that paper cut a cut.Well after Nate suffered his paper cut(go rewatch the fight it was no bigger),and runs around with MORE ENERGY than he showed during the fight for about 4 minutes screaming ,clear eyed LOOKING RIGHT at the camera.Of course as soon as an interviewer reminded him of his QUITTING it was AGAIN SPOTS.So Nate the "SPOTS"have cleared and your ready HOW CONVENIENT,YOU SHOWED NEVER even talk about Gatti ,wearing his shirt ,HIS SONG,but didn't fight like him,QUIT on a paper cut.Its all right man GATTI NEVER UTTERED THE WORDS I CAN'T GO ON,I REMEMBER 1 MORE ROUND,BUT NOT I CAN'T GO ON.Nate just joined the club,can NO LONGER be called a warrior,its all THERE to see on TV.

That's why if you are a boxer you should never talk **** because any moment your time will come.. campbell always talk ****.. and his time came.. LOL.. poor pathetihic..

[screwhead1]

campbell was clearly robbed...dude was butted and felt he couldn't continue...NC it and rematch it...

fights are 12 rounds not 3.it was a nasty butt & campbell wasn't the champion,poor referee,& Bradley only dominated AFTER the butt! It'll get changed to nc august 24.Nate has hit it on the button with the Internet fans.they will say what they say.it's funny vitali fans defend vitali for quitting vs Byrd when he was winning but don't defend Campbell after only 3rounds.what cause vitali fought a couple rounds vs lewis when everybody could see the fight was going to be stopped.vitali HAD to fight on or he'd be done forever.never seen a guy get more from losing.Internet fans sure can be hypocrites.

No way does this joker deserve a rematch. He didn't wanna fight. End of story. He got cut, got frustrated and said "**** this, I'm not fighting like this". It was obvious from his reaction and demanding his corner stop it. Bradley's speed made him look old, Campbell was getting put away in under 10 rounds and he knew it. **** Campbell, his reign was mediocre anyway. It's Bradley's time.

Campbell has fought many times with worse cuts but he is 37 & it was only the 3rd round..too early to predict the outcome.bradley chin is so/so(dropped twice by light punching holt)& Campbell has power & usually comes on late.this is a tough one!

Are you serious!?!? Bradley had never been down in his career before that knockdown to Holt, and it was a PERFECT left hook that did it. He didn't stumble around the ring afterwards. He got up, dusted himself off and dominated the fight. Are you kidding me? Kendall Holt is not a light puncher either brah. If you actually watch him you can see he's got some pop. Bradley was putting Campbell away in under 10 rounds in that fight with or without the cut.

Nate's Vision

I saw that fight and have to agree that Nate was getting beat up ...by Bradley's Head!

After complaining that he couldnt see, the doctor told him to stop. I have experienced sight loss from an injury, so I know what he was feeling. It was wise for Nate to scream for attention when he wasn't being heard.

What's disappointing are some of the opinions expressed here. It's very easy to criticize behind a computer keyboard - your life is not on the line.

To some of my kababayans - nakakihiya kayo. Pacquaio respects his competitors - remember his concern after knocking out Diaz? Wisdom and compassion are also the hallmarks of a true warrior. It is what separates us from reckless savagery.

There won't be a rematch, but the decision should be changed. Campbell was clearly butted.

I'm glad somebody else acknowledges this. And I wanted Bradley to win.

Maybe i missed it in the article but where is the medical report that says he had blood behind his eye. You got nate saying that was the case and you got the ring doctor saying it (thats all he could conclude at the time given nate said he was seeing spots). But he must of went to the hospital and had an official diagnose. Why isn't that reported? Because he probably didnt have blood behind his eye. Hes heard all the rumors. If he was hurt as bad as he claimed wouldnt he show that?
