But is Campbell any good or just another soft Brit?
He’s good.
Had lost a very close split decision against Linares, but his old man died a week or so before the fight and he was away from his family. Maybe if he hadn’t had that happen, he would’ve beaten Linares, who knows. That was before Lomachenko fought Linares.
Also Campbell was a very good amateur. Olympic champ, World champ Silver, European Champ.
He can fight but doubtful he beats Lomachenko obviously. That said, Campbell at his best has much more pedigree than the average British fighter.
His pro career never really gathered enough momentum and he had bad luck at the times when it could’ve, i.e his dad dying right before the Linares fight which was his world title shot.

He's good. He was ranked at the top of 135 for about two years now IIRC. Both his losses are upsets. I'm taking Loma to win, but it's one of his toughest opponents IMO.
And I talk **** about Brit fighters more than most lol
Campbell is good. His first loss against Mendy was a poor performance, but he dominated the rematch. The Linares fight could have went either way, and take away his horrendous start to that fight, he was the better man. I give him a 20% chance here as long as he starts well.
