    wow news just come out that Campbell's dad two week before the fight to cancer,he kept it quiet on account he didn't want Linares team to think he had a weakness.
    Makes that performance even better I'd say.

    Tremendous professionalism by Campbell to go through with the fight and performed like he did after suffering a loss of a family member.
    Also showed a lot of heart, composure and skills after the second round KD and a bad cut down the eye. Great talent and potentially will grab a belt or two in the future.

    It was a great performance on it's own. This would have been a heavy burden on him.

    Cool hand Luke is a true fighter, he just needed more power.

    A great measure of a fighter is how he responds to defeat. Luke got a mile better after Mendy, and he'll get better after Linares. That's real heart fighting on so soon after the loss of his father and fighting as well as he did against one of the best lightweights on the planet. Best of luck to him moving forward.
