I rate Campbell quite highly; he lost a split decision to Linares who, despite his age, is still a highly skilled, elite fighter in the division; and then lost to Loma who, besides the knockdown, was arguably given the most competitive bout of his career.
I agree that if Campbell takes Garcia into the mid-to-late rounds then Garcia will be in trouble, but I have a niggling feeling that Garcia will do some significant damage with his counters early on, causing Campbell to fade by the sixth or soon after (hopefully not because I'll be rooting for Campbell). Regardless of the result, it will definitely be a good gauge to see where Garcia is really at. And if he loses by decision (I doubt Campbell can score a stoppage) it will be by no means the defining fight of his career. However, winning in convincing fashion or not, I still don't think he'd be able to cope with Loma. I don't think anybody can. The only reason Campbell had success was his size and, more importantly, his experience.
As for the victor facing the winner of Tank vs. Cruz, I think both would beat either one. I do rate Tank and Cruz rather highly, but both are simply too small for lightweight; Tank is just too short and doesn't have the best reach and Cruz has the height and reach, but doesn't have the strength or power. Campbell and Garcia would beat both.Comment

When you run your mouth as he has, it only takes one loss to see his plans come crashing down. Where is there to go if you can't beat someone like Campbell? Especially if the guys he keeps barking aboht continue to succeed. Instagram modeling?Comment

Can’t wait for this fight. If Campbell wins to me it’s a big notch on his belt beating a fighter like Garcia who is green but is highly recognize in the sport by young fans. I also see Garcia landing big shots early but again I think Campbell can take them and make it tough for Garcia mid way in the fight.Comment

Yeah I totally get that. But if he lost to Campbell, that's an Olympic champion. If there is nowhere to go after that then I'm missing something. Actually hoping some of the young guys lose so we can see them fight each other.Comment
