Campbell is fighting someone vastly smaller than he is. Then again, it's only his 10th bout but he does need to move on a bit.

I agree. I''m no expert but I don't see much pop in his punches. Nice combos and flurries but get the impression someone with power would lay a counter on him and put him down.

yeah, Campbell will do well at lightweight cos he's big for the division but when he moves up into his natural weight class he'll get beat. I don't like him much tbh, he hasn't shown me anything to get excited about.

I'm not sure he'll move up for a while though, he's been making bantam in the amateurs for quite a while and it's not as though he's a teenager. Also, I'd rather he face someone skilled and undersized like Sykes than that Iron Duck guy he faced a few fights back, how many 5'9 lightweights are there FFS?
