Comments Thread For: Luke Campbell on Ryan Garcia: All I Can Do is Try To Keep it Out of Judges' Hands

[SteveM]

It looks like I'm the only one who thought Luke had a chance. Even Luke is talking himself down. Sometimes, pulling for the underdog is like dragging dead weight.

I don't see how you got that. He's just saying if it's close he doesn't think he can get a decision.
Would be better to hear him say "I'm taking this fight out of the judge's hands!!!!!! "

I saw the Luke vs Loma and I believe Luke shaved off some years on Lomas career.....Luke can defeat Ryan.....Luke for the win in via 11th rd k.o.

Doesn't sound like a man who feels he can't win, to me. Campbell's fragile after the first half and I honestly don't think he'll get there.

Why?

Because Ryan Garcia's like a guy pointing a pink pistol at you....you wanna laugh because the pistol is laughable but forget you can still be hurt if he pulls the trigger.

I say that to say people tend to sleep on the kid because he's a pretty boy who doesn't appear to pose a threat. I've never seen Ryan wear anybody down in there, he usually counters you and change the pace or ends the fight.

Weird, I know.

campbell is a decent fighter, i think he will do better than expected and could make it close, he wont win a decision tho, not a snowballs chance in hell

Ryan is young and strong, but he's crude and stiff. His punches come fast, but he isn't getting countered. Take Duno, the Philipino Ryan kod. That guy took a beating before landing big shots, v chimpa Duno was eating leather until he landed big, no style. Luke is saying that he doesn't believe he can get a decision, and I'm saying that's exactly how he's supposed to win. Out class Ryan, movement and style. Ryan is flat footed, turn him. Make him look bad. Don't do the deer in the headlights.

I also saw Luke fight that Venezuelan....I forgot hIs name at the moment, but that Venezuelan is vicious and Luke hung in there pretty even

If Garcia gets careless or impatient maybe Campbell can test Garcia's untested chin. I'm not expecting that but it's possible. Garcia has found it all pretty easy, not a lot of adversity to judge his toughness.

Linares...guy is no slouch so nothing to hang your head about losing to him. He also gave loma a solid test as well,came up short but you could definitely see the class/pedigree in him. Going to be a very interesting fight where were going to find out whether Ryan is all flash or actually has some substance...cant wait.

Welp, this guy is going to walk into a left hook and go to sleep then.

Amazing how most people are picking Garcia to win easily. He has speed and appears to have power also. But his technical ability at this level is pretty low.

For Garcia the key to this fight is being active and landing in the first three rounds. he must inflict damage at the early stages of the fight. If he is timid in the beginning, I do not see him winning this fight.

Luke is too experienced and technically sound to lose in the later rounds against Garcia. If the fight carries over three rounds, I see Luke gradually breaking Garcia down and finishing him in the 9-12 rounds.

Garcias style and energy has gassing out written all over them. getting landed on in a long 12 round fight, being carried to the later rounds grinding.. Is there anyone who doesnt see Garcia folding in this scenario?

Cool hand wins by TKO. Round 10.
