    Seems to have very little power at the moment. Needs to sit down on his punches more.
    He's quick though both footwork and hand speed. The guy he fought was the slowest pro box I've ever seen

    Making judgement on the evidence of four completed rounds, is pretty 'courageous'. The man deserves 18 months and a dozen fights before judgements can start to be formed.

    Shock horror "newly turned professional doesn't sit down on his punches" stop the press!!! Amazing analysis there mate they should get you on ringside. I particularly liked the fact you noticed Campbell has fast hand and foot movement, I would have never have guessed otherwise.

    Get off his **** boys
    Just merely staying the fact he couldn't even drop that lad he just fought he was hitting him with some really clean shots and he barely flinched

    Campbell's looking good so far, I reckon his power is a BIT lacking, but as he develops he may learn to sit down a bit better.

    I don't think it will be as much a problem for him as it has been for someone like Billy Joe Saunders, Campbell is massive at the weight and isn't going to get bullied so don't think his lack of pop will affect him until he's in with the really top draw pressure fighters, he looks outstanding imo.

    He's only just turned over, so of course he's not going to be sitting down on his punches like a fully fledged pro.. that will come with time.

    He needs fights with opponents who will teach him something. No point sticking him in with guys he'll blow out inside a round.
