    Late card campbell being added to this sat's bill.

    Will campbell take him out as the odds isn't bad.

    He's a solid fighter and has been preparing for weeks to fight unbeaten southpaw Daouda Sow. He boxed Victor postal who recently stopped lucas mattesye and gave a good account of himself loosing on points also boxed for the European loosing a competitive fight with edis tatli who is a very good tricky fighter.

    Should be a good fight for Campbell and would be a big statement if he stops Mendy but me personally I'm gunna back Campbell stoppage late on I think he works excellent to the body and will grind him down

    I'm liking the 5/6 odds for Campbell to stop him, late body shots I reckon

    I too reckon the odds is good for the stoppage with a body shot which campbell is very good at.

    Paddy Power have it for campbell
    1-6 rounds at 3/1
    7-12 at 11/4

    £100 each on the above works out better than £200 on the stoppage. I reckon 7-12 is the one as looking at Mendy's record it seems to suggest he is quite durable, never been stop before.

    Sow is unbeaten as a pro and boxed for France as a amateur as a lightweight were he got silver at 2008 Beijing Olympics . Nevin was a bantam. But I wasn't getting at how good Sow is I'm saying Mendy has been preparing to box a southpaw for weeks so the fact it's a late opponent won't make alot of difference hel be ready

    Just watched it on YouTube. Nevin won clearly but was a decent fight to be honest. But what's your point anyway. Like I said I was stating mendy was preparing to fight a southpaw so hel be well prepared for Luke campbell
