he's relentless but not always smart with it and it can be used against him, i just think this is Nate's retirement party remember how silly he made Diaz look. if this fight is kept in short distance Nate can chop away to a ugly but fair decision. the thing that slightly makes me nervous is that Bradley always just wins and he's so damn determined. His fightgame is as vanilla as they come but he manages to outwork all his opposition though. Plus Tim's a strong little guy and this being Nate's first fight at 140 and at his age it might be tough for him to bully the kid. That said I've got Nate by decision and i'm still convinced. rarely wrong when i'm convinced
It all depends on which Campbell comes into the ring. He seems to find a way to blow his fights many times in the past, but at his best he can do it.
I'm totally serious, I've seen him fight plenty of times and I just don't rate him that highly. Sure he is skilled but nothing on the level of a Mayweather/Marquez/ other elite operators. If he beats Bradley then I'll reconsider but the Diaz fight apart he's looked pretty ordinary to me. As I said, Buster Douglas was obviously a very skilled guy as well, but that one glory night as a huge underdog eclipsed everything else he had done in his career to date. I'm not saying Nate is going to blow up to 20 stone and get knocked out in 3 rounds in his next significant fight like Douglas did, it was just an analogy.
This is about how I see it as well. Bradley is a solid but unspectacular champion but has great heart and can impose his game on opponents. A lot depends on whether Campbell can impose his will on him the same way he did to Diaz. He does seem to be a hit and miss operator though, one thing you will get with Bradley is consistency.
By the way do I take it nobody is aware yet of any plans to show this fight on TV? Would have been a good card with Witter/Alexander on the undercard as well.
Tough one to call. I think I'll go with Bradley's strength and athleticism. But if Nate can make him fight his type of inside fight, you never know. Nate will do the cleaner work in close if they spend long periods there exchanging. Should be an intriguing fight, not sure Bradley will be in too many 'exciting' fights though
well we'll see who's faster on the night won't we. :yep bradley changes his style up a lot better. campbell's form is always hit and miss. he usually prefers boxing come forward fighters. his best performances have been against come forward fighters. diaz, kid diamond, peden 1 (until he hung his chin out atsch). bradley can box a bit and bang a bit. he'll give him different things to look at. :bbb
You got hay fever or something. :good good analogy Its going to be rough, Bradleys not dirty with his head but reckless and Nate is just a crafty fox inside. Itll be a great fight but im DLing some more Bradley figths then i will deliver my expert opinion tommorow some time
