"You earn championship status, its not given to you. You can’t take a guy who fought nobody and claim them as the next coming. The first time you put them in with somebody who just don’t give a ****, this is what you get. I’m not glad that Ortiz lost but I am glad that a guy like Maidana, who gets no press, comes in and fights his ass off and gets the win." Nate Campbell, June (tonight) 2009
Campbell always speaks prety intellligently about boxing. He'd make a great analyst... Although it's funny that with all those brains he seems to make a lot of dumbass moves when it comes to his own career.
At first, when I saw his 25-1 (24 ko) record I was extremely skeptical. However, after viewing a couple fights of his on youtube (albeit versus average competition), it was obvious he was very heavy handed and would put ortiz to the test.
Cause Nate always tells it like it is. He is a great personality unlike a lot boring politically-correct boxers.. Although he did lose twice to Robbie Peden. We forgive you, Nate. I'm afraid Nate is going to get crushed by Bradley though.
