    It's too bad that so much talent wasted his consistent use of the head. I've always said it.

    It's not his fault, he did his job. The problem with Bradley is that he CONSISTENTLY headbutts.

    No that is his fault Bradley does come in with his head similar to Holyfield and the post fight interview Timothy has lost a bit of stock IMO the way he has acted. Sure he would have beat Nate should he would win a rematch but to not be a man and say you know what they did him dirty, well IMO that doesnt always set right with the fans.

    Wrong, wrong, wrong. Bradley leads with the top of his head. Campbell is 100% right. He complained about the first butt and clearly indicated the cut from the second butt. I thought the ref was just too old to see the butt, but the ref actually did see it and called the fight for bradley!!

    Terrible fight. What a bad night for boxing. Sad.

    Of course it should, and this situation illustrates perfectly why replay needs to be used, but to blame Bradley for the butts or to imply that they are intentional is extraordinarily misleading.

    How was that his fault? He ducked down from a punch and was moving his body to get leverage into a hook he was about to throw. He wasn't even looking at where Campbell was. Not intentional at all.

    Oh Im not saying if Bradley did or didn't. His style leads to it I would think at most. It didn't look anything intentional.

    If if it was stopped by the ring doctor and the referee said it was a headbutt, then it should be no contest.

    I doubt it will be turned over, The thing with Bradley his people Mr Thompson (Promoter) Rudy Tellez (WBC) The Ref, Marty Dinkon (Judge) they are all close freinds and beleive Nate will get screwed in this one mark my words, I worked for Rudy Tellez dirrectly he is dirty as it gets.

    By the way, Jim Gray just plain sucks in every way. When a boxer wins a fight and does well, he somehow takes the wind out of his sails with dumb comments that seem to minimize the fighter's effort -- he finds some little thread and hangs onto it.

    Then when there is clearly a dumb decision in front of him, Jim Gray says totally back off any analysis in the post fight interviews.

    I think Jim Gray is designed to irritate the boxing fan.

    its unfair to Campbell...boxing is his livelihood

    He definitely does put his head out there, you could say there is always a risk in his style.

    But that tonight could not be called intentional. How can it..he was looking at the floor and trying to throw a punch.
