    Nice. . . Surprised Adamek, or Jennings isn't on the card!

    I am a HUGE fan of Campillo. . I love that dude's style. . I wouldn't call him slick, but he's SMOOTH. . So smooth. . . And fluid. . . Haven't seen, or heard much of Kovalev. . .

    Good to see Campillo getting TV dates, and attention. . . Dude deserves it. . Few more decisions that go his way, he's borderline top ten pound for pounder.

    This could easily be Campillo's second career loss by knockout.

    First step up and they give him arguably trhe best LHW. great management

    that ****ing worthless ****** cleverly needs to fight Sukhotsky already. He's ducked his mandatory 3 or 4 fights in a row now.

    never saw kovalev but his SD win over Boone is a little concerning...shouldn't be giving up that many rounds to Boone if you're world class.

    Sergey Kovalev is a good boxer and hard hitting as well. One of his last opponents fell in coma after the fight and died 3 days after.

    :blood Well, how about if you're only a year into your pro career and stepping up to your first 8-rounder?

    He's since destroyed Boone in two rounds in a rematch.

    Yes, that's disgraceful, it could have been worse though, imagine if Boone had knocked him down :D

    It was his tenth pro bout! :patsch

    He had gone a total of less than twelve full rounds in his career.

    Excuse him for "only" beating a high-level journeyman by SD with such thin experience.

    Great fight! Campillo by rights should hold the IBF and WBA titles and Kovalev is a dangerous contender.

    Nice card, again, by NBC. They've been putting on competitive cards that are usually entertaining.

    I've only seen a little of Kovalev but he looks solid and had a good amatuer career, this is a big step up. Campillo is one of the best at 175 and may be too experienced for Kovalev.

    Cruz seems solid, I'm not blown away by him though. Smith is a solid test but his grunting can make him hard to watch sometimes.
