    Someone must be sad and angry calling people trolls, yet nobody is doing anything about it. The mods know a crybaby when they see one, and you are too transparent. They don't believe you.

Campbell has a good amateur background, is a big lightweight, especially compared to the midgets Ryan has faced, and also has knockout power. I thought that Ryan had no chance of beating Luke. But I'm not sure when, but recently I've been feeling like Ryan is going to knockout Luke, and most boxing fans tend to think that Luke has little to no chance. When and why?
      Here is my breakdown of what Luke Campbell can do against Ryan Garcia to pull the upset:



      To answer your question, people normally favor the more offensively dynamic fighter over the well-rounded, less dynamic one.

      In other words, Garcia has scored explosive knockouts against C-level guys while Campbell has lost decisions against A-level guys. People think Garcia might be A-level so they favor him.

          People talk about amateur records when they are losing debates. Nobody cares. Welcome to pro boxing.
          Bum is also an overused term in boxing and apparently the "bum level" includes everyone except the P4P top-10. And that's even debatable if it's a fighter that fans don't like.

            I'm picking Garcia to win based mainly off the eye test. But I could be wrong, I hope I'm wrong I like Campbell and he can handle himself and will be a test.

            I said in another thread I don't think Garcia has faced anybody good enough to get around his talents and highlight his flaws to the degree they are seriously worrying flaws and if they are big flaws Luke will expose them.

            I'm looking forward to it.
            Here is my breakdown of what I think Luke Campbell can do to pull off the upset against Ryan Garcia:



            I posted it earlier in the thread too so everyone can take a look.

              Agreed. People like bum Linares were pretending to be top champs.

                Take over of the division by the young guns. One will be standing at the end. As I said about a year ago, the division is now undergoing a clean up, all these older pretenders will be cleaned up. Campbell is next.

                    It's not that extreme but this is a bad example for Campbell. Guy has done nothing. It's not like I'm insulting a good fighter.

                    I saw many people calling Wilder a bum (not a fan of Wilder) but he at least has accomplished something.

                      Garcia is crazy quick with that hook and every time Garcia throws it there is a lights out potential. I don’t like the kid to be honest but he sure looks like the goods. If Campbell can survive without getting caught, maybe he could win on points but that’s not how I would bet it.
