By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Go ahead, just try and kill off Nate Campbell.
But before you do, here’s a little advice: Don’t bother.
The rough-hewn Floridian, whose spotlight career has already been pronounced dead in two weight divisions, is three-plus weeks from yet another resuscitation at junior welterweight.
Campbell was bloodied – but technically not beaten – in his debut among the 140-pounders, bowing out with a serious eye gash after three rounds with WBO champ Timothy Bradley in an Aug. 1 match initially ruled a TKO before California’s state athletic commission declared it a no-contest 23 days later.
He returns to action for the first time since on May 15 in New York, where he’ll take on Golden Boy product Victor Ortiz in the final HBO run-up to an Amir Khan-Paulie Malignaggi main event at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan.
It’s the first fighting trip to the Big Apple for the 38-year-old Campbell, who’s made three jaunts apiece to nearby New Jersey and Connecticut – resulting in five wins, a draw and three knockouts – most recently in 2006 against Mexican journeyman Francisco Javier Olvera. [Click Here To Read More]
