    Shame the Tank fight has zero chance of happening.

    Campbell should have grown into a 147 by now imo. Still boiling down and like his fight with Loma, looked hurt every time he got hit clean.

    He's technically a very good boxer but you have to say that it's not quite worked in the pro's. He's not fulfilled the promise he had. I appreciate that might sound harsh, but just fallen short at the top level.

    I was impressed with Garcia, different level to Campbell and entertaining to watch.

    This post fight stuff from DAZN is nauseating. It's more like a Justin Beiber after party.

    Hardly a different level. Dropped heavily in the second and Luke clearly the better all round boxer. Think Lukes tight at the weight now and getting on in years. Fresher more pumped full of crap fighter wins. Shocker.

    I don't think he got hurt everytime he got hit clean, I thought he blocked a lot of Garcias's work.

    He is technically very good but he's a counter puncher, doesn't have that aggressive ability to put combinations together.

    The shot that finished him was a great shot to be fair. I had Campbell doing quite well, a round down (or level) but felt like he was starting to land with more frequency.

    Garcia reacted like he had just won the lottery, shame the shot ended it as I'd of liked to see the last 3rd of the fight.

    I’ve never wanted a hype train to derail so much.

    I thought Campbell was technically better, just no durability against the younger, stronger opponent.

    Call me harsh but Luke quit for me there, yeah, great body shot but he could of got up in time! He was winning as well in my opinion.

    Anyway, please Garcia fight Davis next I can't stand that Instagram muppet and David will knock him the **** out!

    He retreated to the ropes several times and covered up in survival mode whilst Garcia was teeing off. He was saved by the bell in the 3rd or 4th, he didn't know where he was. He looked very vulnerable imo bud.

    Yeah m8 just doesn't have that dog in him..if he did he would have been a beast of a lightweight.hes had a very good career regardless though and is a class act.

    I don't think Campbell quit, he was trying to gee himself up about the 8 second mark to get up.

    Maybe could of got up .5 a second earlier but he was that badly hurt I honestly don't think he'd of survived anyway.

    As much as I like Luke he lost every round apart from the knockdown tonight.

    If he’s tight at the weight he should move up. Nobody is forcing him to fight at lightweight.

    The move to the Canelo camp has helped Garcia but he has a few traits which are hardwired particularly holding his chin high , he is very hittable and I don’t rate his chances against Tank or Lopez who I figure would crush him . The easiest fight to make is Haney and whilst he hasn’t exactly been shinning recently he would be in my opinion beat Garcia , although I understand Garcia beat him in the amateurs .

    Think it’s very hard for any of us to say that because I think very few of us will have been hit with a bodyshot at all, let alone by a world level fighter. It’s supposed to be totally debilitating.
