Comments Thread For: Luke Campbell Drops Coyle Four Times, TKO in Ten

[Mick Higgs]

Campbell VS Cardle is a must & must be made forthwith!

I'd like to see Campbell develop an inside game, he literally doesn't have one. Whenever Coyle managed to get inside, he clinched, which a smarter pressure fighter may break through

Lightweight is such a dead division though, he'd probably pick up a world title right now

I don't know what fight you were watching but I thought Campbell's inside work was fine. He is a tall, lanky fighter with good movement and skills. I thought he did a great job of taking advantage of his height and reach by catching Coyle rushing in while taking half steps back to stay in firing range. Whenever Coyle did manage to close the distance enough to be in range, Campbell did what any smart tall boxer would do, he held him so the ref was forced to break them apart.
To be honest, I also thought Campbell was getting the better work done on the inside as well as from a distance, which showcase his versatility. Coyle struggled to get anything done because Campbell was smarter, faster, taller, longer and more skilled. I'm not saying Coyle was the toughest opponent in the world but certainly competent. What more does Campbell need?
