Gabriel Campillo: What went wrong?

I thought he was going to be "the man" at lhw, but his career has seriously gone of the rails.

Is he over rated?
Outside distractions?

 

he got starched 3times

 

He was over rated big time after his performance against Cloud.

 

Robbed 4 times Murat I & II in Germany, Shumenov II, and Cloud in the States. He should have been credited far more, and I think this was acknowledge by serious fans, but he still had a legimate loss to Ulzelkov.

The Krushing loss to Kovalev - bad mental preparation of not, was justa case of wrong place, wrong time.

How much that brutal KO took outta him, specially in the light of all his other disappointmnts we will never know, but in my opinion he never really looked himself on Friday. Given his bad luck, and the number of battles he's fought and loss he may simply have lost some of his heart for a game in which he seems destined to forever lose.

 

This. Excellent post.

 

The loss to Kovalev wasn't really surprising, the lost
to Fonfara was, I didn't think he would fold like that,
he was putting on a pretty decent clinic. Good body
shot though

 

I was there vs Fonfara. He looked great. Had Fonfara beat on every round except the 1st. He really took the crowd out but then after about the 6th round you can see something wasn't right with him. He either gassed out or started to feel Fonfara's punches. His defense slipped up in the end and Fonfara took advantage of that.

 

I'm likely inclined to agree with you.

 

What do you call Fonfara's win then? Not robbery... unless nothing counts anymore after Kovalev brutally murdered him :bbb

 

lack of power + boxing politics of hometown scoring

 

If Campillo had power to those combos he used to throw then he'd still be a top guy

 

Huzzah. Well said.

 

so how did Uzelkov and Fonfara beat him? KO robbery? :huh

 

he'd have KO wins over Cloud, Shumenov and Fonfara at least :yep Fonfara was basically smiling every time Campillo landed 3-4 punch combos

 

+1:good
