    Got injured.
    Champ in recess now.

    I actually rate Fortuna, but think Campbell is too good and rangy for him.

    I was really looking forward to see Haney vs Fortuna.

    I honestly can't think of a worse stylistic matchup for Luke Campbell than Fortuna. This could all go terribly awry for The Cool Handed One.

    Is he the champ "in recess":)qmeparto:), or did he just get stripped?

    Because I would really, really like to see the winner of this face Haney. And then Loma.

    Can you expand on that? What is it Fortuna brings that Campbell will struggle with?

    Because Fortuna, like Campbell is also a southpaw, but he excels at fighting other southpaws, his offense is his defense, he throws punches in bunches, and from incredibly awkward angles, throws wicked combinations, his right hook is nasty, his uppercut is almost like an upjab, and it comes from out of nowhere, his timing and rhythm is off kilter and stutter step, which also makes him hard as hell to time. Almost as if he's a rhythm breaker who fights with a broken rhythm. It's late, sorry it that's not adequate for you. But I think you'll get the gist of it. He also has damn solid whiskers. Quite frankly I think he's going to KO Campbell. Here's his destruction of Cuellar recently, also a fellow southpaw.

    No that's great much obliged! Fortuna isn't someone I can recall watching aside from I think I saw him vs Granados but don't recall it well. He looked a handful in that clip.

    I like Cambell but think this may all be coming a little too late in his career. Hope not though, I'd like to see him get a belt before he calls it a day.

    Hope the southpaw fighting southpaw curse doesn't strike.
