    It won't be overturned. The replay wasn't even obvious that there was blood right after the butt. Sucks to be Campbell.

    It should be overturned to No Contest from a technical standpoint, the headbutt very clearly caused the cut. However, it did look like Nate was looking for a way out of the fight at that point as well, which is regrettable, and that kinda kills any vibe for rematch from me. Disappointing night in general for boxing.

    Nate quit and was getting dominated, although it was a headbutt that caused the cut Nate was getting taking out and he knew it

    It should be overturned on principle BUT Campbell was way too quick to quit. I'd make him sweat over it before overturning.

    Rule it a NC, and do it again.

    Nate BEGGED to have the fight stopped... It wasn't even a bad cut... Result should remain the same... I have not pity for quitters.

    Much as I think Bradley would of won that comfortable, there was a potentially harmful cut caused by a headbutt.

    Sorry, no matter what way I look at this, I can't see any other decision than a NC. Campbell maybe did quit too easy, however he'd of been risking his health and sight fighting on. We don't know yet, he may of detached a retina or something, and maybe couldn't see.

    Regardless, that cut would of eventually had an influence in the fight, and the fight should of been declared a NC. I found the referee laughable in his explanation for it. He admitted it was a headbutt, then came away with some horse shite excuse that he seen a punch after it (which was blocked by Campbells glove).

    I agree its pointless....it should be called a NC...but by round 6 he would have been TKOed for real anyway....so I don't wanna see a rematch

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Campbell claim there was blood in his eye during the post fight interview? He said "right now!" - didn't he?

    That was complete bull**** of course..

    The doctor said the cut wasn't bad enough to stop the fight. He said "no cut" to Nate. Nate complained of seeing spots which you can't say for certain was caused by the head but. They wiped his eye clear and he still said he couldn't see. The Doctor didn't stop the fight, Nate quit.

    If this becomes a no contest more and more fighters will take the easy way out like Campbell and Rahman.A fighter shouldn't be rewarded for quitting.
