      He got physically bullied and couldn't adjust.

      His lack of power proved a real issue as he had nothing to keep distance with. He also got dropped heavily.

      Just not that good tbh.

          No Campbell started alright, got dropped in the fifth and was outhustled by the more experienced pro.

          A case of a good amateur vs a good, seasoned professional.

          Shouldn't of been expected but you only had to scroll through Mendys record to see he had fought Tatli & Postol and gave a good account so he is obviously no mug. Huge step up going from Tommy Coyle to a guy that experienced and has gave a fairly good account at world level.
          Bad matchmaking really in hindsight.

                yeah basically this.
                hearn fast tracked him as he's 28 and it backfired massively.

                  He got bullied around for the entire match. He didn't know what to do when there was a guy right up on his nuts all the time rather than just outside of the range of his jab/straight left.
