    Gabriel Campillo, 21W-4L-1D, had 4 decisions stolen from him that hurt his career deeply.

    Right now he should be unified WBA/IBF light heavyweight champion of the world, fighting on big televised cards for big paydays. His record should read 25W and 1L. He won both fights against Murat, both fights against Shumenov and his title fight against Cloud, but none of these decisions were given to the real winner of the fight.

    I feel bad for Campillo, did anybody had it worse in recent times? Does Glen Johnson compare to this?

    Just like De La Hoya has only himself to blame for his loss to Trinidad, Campillo has ony hisself to blame for his loss to Cloud.

    DLH ran like the transvestite he is. Campillo beat Cloud like a stepchild.

    Shows again why you are a crappy poster, how does he have himself to blame for shumenov 2?
    The other fights vs murat and cloud were closer but he still clearly won, credit where its due, campillo is top 4 at lightheavy and deserves more credit.

    he was toying with cloud like he was nothing. had power punches, ring generalship and blood on cloud's face. i guess they scored those two knockdowns 3 points each

    Campillo is being screwed over horribly. in the prime of his career and he is getting cheated by the market. boxing is dying faster and faster with every fight. all of these pre-modannas being thrown into a spotlight that was given to them instead of earned.

    posts like these are the downfall of ESB.:-( they should make you take an aptitude test to post on this site. then we could minimize dumbasses like this.

    Cloud will never rematch Campillo..............Campillo would beat him again even more convincingly!!! Campillo was robbed and the fans know it, all the booing was for a very good reason.............How can the fans get a rematch?

    Matthysse is not far behind either. Matthysse-Soto could be a war
