Lance Armstrong was the most tested athlete in history and never failed anti-doping protocol. Anyway, there's absolutely no chance for Campbell to win this one. I think a lot of the predictions are more in hope than expectation.
The referee is Laurence Cole (USA). The three judges are Mark Lyson (UK), Rey Danseco (USA) and Glenn Feldman (USA) So 2 out of the 3 judges are american, and the referee is a notoriously bent american referee. The fix is on. If you're gonna pick Campbell to win, don't put any money on a points win!
Laurence Cole was the referee that let Salido do whatever the **** illegal stuff he wanted to do vs Lomachenko. And he tried to help Broner win vs Maidana.
Laurence Cole was the referee for Burns vs Figueroa. Truely one of the worse referees I've ever witnessed in the ring that night.
I remember that. Burns was very good that night, who knows what might have happened. I think I remember the ref kept slapping Burns’ gloves?
I haven’t seen the first fight you mention but I get you about Broner Maidana. Joe Cortez allowing all up close spoily stuff for Hopkins against Calzaghe. 4 whole months after not allowing Hatton anywhere near Mayweather springs to mind.
Yeah he kept pulling Burns arm away whenever there was a clinch, he also docked him two points I think it was for basically doing nothing wrong. I think Ricky wanted to clock him one lol.
I thought it was a case of him doing better than expected so people were over estimating how well he was actually doing if that makes sense.
I know some had concerns for Campbell’s weight for this but he looks spot on. His weight was bang on and he even has half a double chin. Certainly doesn’t look drawn or drained. Maybe it’s wishful thinking but either way.... come on Luke!
On a side note. I’ve never seen Garcia in interviews or anything but having seen a couple now he seems a proper ‘too cool for school’ bell end. Shouldn’t be surprised really given his social media bull **** but still, come on Luke!
Not seen much of garcia...but got a feeling hes gonna be good. No one really gets rid of fonseca easily. 1st round ko by garcia in his last fight. Something like a 15 time amatuer national champion as well. Think hes gonna be a bit too much for campbell...who,s best win to date is probably mendy. At least mcguigan will have him fit as a fiddle. Hes also a good length...and garcia is an inexperienced pro. I dont think the handlers of these guys get it wrong often tho...a lot of talk about them not doing their research on campbell...but i m pretty sure they,ll have done their research properly...its just that they feel like they,ve got a bit of a special talent on their hands. Campbell has a good determination about him tho...hopefully he can do something tomorrow night.
LOL I wouldn't be tipping Garcia if we were to compare the amateur careers of the two!! Campbell was a ****ing elite world class amateur who medalled Gold or Silver in every major tournament. Whereas Garcia couldn't get to international level, and USA haven't exactly been doing well in the amateurs in recent times so merely being a national champ there doesn't mean much. I'd say Campbells best wins were Alengis Mendez and Darleys Perez as they were both former world champions.
Whilst I agree that getting rid of fonseca in a rd is impressive let's not forget that he's a sfw.also the style of fonseca suits Garcia, a smaller fighter, comeing onto him, makes a him look good. Not sure how this fight will go, only sure bet imo is that Campbell will get shafted on the cards. In regards to handlers if these guys not getting it wrong, wasn't there a bit of a fall out with team Garcia and Oscar. Iirc the story at the time was that Garcia's manager was complaining about Oscar not pushing Ryan quick enough and that Ryan is a superstar and should be fighting for world titles now. Not sure who the manager was but I vaugly remember Oscar talking about it and saying that parts of his team *ryans) are trying to push him too quick, and that they're in Ryan's ear, saying that Oscar is moving him(ryan) too slowly so he can make more money out of him. There was all that with Oscar and Ryan too 9n Twitter. I got the impression that Oscar felt, right if you think your good enough to be a world champ right now, then go for it. I got the feeling that if it was solely down to Oscar, then he wouldn't of taken this fight just yet. Who knows tho, what a really going on. I'm picking Campbell to beat him but whether he will get robbed on the cards is another story.
On paper you have to give Luke a great chance in this.hes a big proven lightweight and by far the best Garcia will have been in with...Garcia could be a bit special who knows but we will find out tonight.im going to go for the dodgy points win for Garcia.
