    Campbell is an Olympic gold medalist and fought Lomachenko tough

    Gave a good effort against Linares as well.

    I see too money people starting to be dismissive of him and acting like it won't be a big deal if Ryan Garcia beats him.

    With one fatal flaw, he’s a Brit.

    Most Brit fighters are losers.

      So what? Felix Diaz was an olympic gold medalist and you all still gave Terence a hard time when Bud made him look like a bum. Only loss was a MD to Peterson who beat Danny Garcia IMO, and people were hyping him as a legit opponent for Spence.

      I'm fine if you give Garcia credit for beating him but don't forget about the double standards.

        Campbell's solid and has even shown flashes of excellence during his career - I remember back to his debut and early career where he looked unstoppable - but the fact remains that he's yet to have his hand raised against a truly world class opponent even if he did acquit himself fairly well in defeat to Lomachenko. He's in a kind of no-man's-land between "very good" and just "decent". Really this fight's all about Garcia and whether he'll live up to the hype or not - if he's as good as they say he is, he should win.

          It will be a big deal if Garcia wins because Campbell is Ryan's first top-10 opponent. There will always be critics of course but Luke Campbell is way better than Francisco Fonseca and Romero Duno.

            Big step up in level for sure.

            Going from prospect to contender.
