    I saw they fought to a draw. That is a good job for Camacho. Shows how far Campos slipped though.

    :patsch:patschAre you kidding me??? How far CAMPAS slipped??? Not even in his best day Campas was at Camacho's level. Macho Camacho was an artist in the ring only limited by his own discipline problems. I honestly think he could have beaten Chavez if it wasn't for the drug problems he was facing at that time. The man is 46y/o and still manage to get a draw against a 37 y/o Campas. Thats pretty amazing to me. Of course, he will not be fighting for any belt, but I am glad he is doing what he loves and staying healthy.

    Campas would draw with Duran at this point.

    I said it was good for at 46 year old Camacho to get a draw. Campas has always been a tough fighter to beat. Even getting stopped in four by Trinidad he had him down first in the second.

    It seems neither guy had any beef with the decision. Campos said that they want Trinidad next. Hmmm! I'd favor Trinidad but he's been very inactive so who knows who'd win. Might end up a draw and Campos would be thrilled again.

    I saw the fight and Camacho hit and run the whole fight but IMO deserved at least the draw...Campas was not enough active...

    Campas said that Camacho hugged him more in the fight than his wife did in 14 years of marriage.:rofl:rofl
