Campbell boxed his ass off--those scorecards were B.S.

A lot of rounds were close. You could give Campbell 1 round or 4 rounds and have no real complaints.
Campbell is good though, i said it would be more competitive than people think. He’s a world class talent that has had some bad luck in his career and never got the momentum.
But you just saw the difference between elite and world class. Still, there won’t be many guys queuing up to fight Luke Campbell.Comment

Ward had it 3-3 going into the 7th. Pretty sure he had it quite close up until the first knockdown too.You must be a UK guy. Seen most reasonable objective cats on twitter saying it was x to 1 going into the 2nd half of the fight. Seen the UK fanboys talking about it was 5-3 & sh^t like that.
Luke was competitive IN many rounds, but he wasnt winning THE rounds. There is a differenceComment

Luke countered very well to the body all night. You just sort of want a performance like that to get more credit but rounds are scored in isolation.
Luke only 100% won the 1st round clearly with I think 9/10 being decent rounds for him. So yeah, can't really complain.
But nearly every round he got through with something. If Loma had a weakness to the body himself Luke would have exposed it in the there. Got through with plenty.Comment

He beat a great fighter. Anyone winning Gold Medals in the Olympics is no joke.
Plus, styles make fights. Anyone who has fought knows tall, rangy fighters who are also very very good are tough to beat.Comment

You see this every time a game opponent makes a champ/favorite sweat for it - people actively rooting for the underdog perceive it a schooling upset or 50/50 affair. 4 rounds for Campbell at best. I gave him 3, 117-110. Back to earth, guys. It doesn't mean Campbell didn't have a great showing though. It seems like pretty much every round he got through with something to make you say "damn", even the championship rounds where Loma really turned it up.Last edited by Sweet Scions; 08-31-2019, 06:09 PM.Comment
