    Superb performance by Campbell boxing so cool under all that pressure from the crowd and Coyle himself who kept charging at him! Top fight.

      Just not sure Campbell has quite enough to make it a super fight.

      Decent match up for the future though. Verdejo looks a lot better as of now and he's younger too

        The commentators are trying so hard to convince me that this fight wasn't a mismatch and a one sided beating.

          Campbell looks vulnerable, a trait that I tend to see in rangy southpaws. IDK how long he (or Verdejo) will go undefeated, but LW isn't that difficult of a division to survive in. Campbell still has a lot to do, and tonight was a good start as it was a WBC eliminator. In 3-4 more fights, he'll probably be in line for a title shot.

            There are things to like about Campbell but I wasn't blown away by that ,he's solid but those toothpicks attached to his feet look so frail can't imagine him taking shots from a strong puncher and being muscled around

              Great fight, exactly what domestic boxing should look like and why I'm in favour of localism within the sport.

              More one-sided than it actually looked though, credit to Campbell, handled the pace and picked his shots well, then finished the job.

                campbell's footwork is intelligent and his counter-punching sharp, but i still think he may fold against a more educated pressure fighter than coyle

                  On another note, Brook looks like he's eaten Khan. His neck is 10lbs above the 147 limit lol

                    Yeah, I hope they don't chuck him in with Linares too soon.

                      Holycrap! Luke looks extremely tall for a lightweight.
