    Gutted, I'll have to give it a miss, was really hoping to see more of Campbell, only ever saw the Diaz Fight plus highlights of the first Peden Fight,

    Was the Diaz fight his greatest performance by a mile? how did he hold against Casamayor a few years back?

    Diaz was a masterful performance, but he had such a stylistic advantage, no way should he have been that much of an underdog (needless to say i called it)

    his best performance for me was against casamayor if you put it into perspective, he was a relative novice at championship level despite is advanced age he gave a prime casa all he could handle and i might've scored that fight a draw (long time since i watched it) wouldn't argue with a split but no way a clear UD for casa, the fact that casa ducked him for a rematch in which campbell tried everything including literally chasing him around to make happen and that casa was willing to face a diaz that nate had already beaten shows you what casa thought, he should've beaten hlatshwayo as well.

    Allegory: The representation of abstract ideas or principles by characters, figures, or events in narrative, dramatic, or pictorial form. :tong

    they way i should've put it is "what i said regarding Campbell vs bradley can be put in an allegory" :good

    Funilly enough I don't think I've ever seen that film; which is bad for me considering how many daft action films that I actually own:good. I've heard that quote somewhere else, though, but it must be a rip off of a line in 'Cobra' then:yep. I was thinking more-so of 'the Matrix' and Agent Smith's little speech, I think.

    I can't see how Nate doesn't win. I like Bradley, he's got a no-nonsense attitude and has the skills and some bizarre training methods to go with them (chin press-ups, sparring intentionally with one eye closed et al). That said, he's been given a hell of a lot of credit for doing relatively little, IMO. I'd genuinely like him to succeed as he's a nice guy as well but Holt had him troubled at times and I personally think he'll get found out soon against better opposition. Nate Campbell is one hell of a step up in class:bbb.

    Gpater, you're gonna see positives against gatekeepers like edner cherry, Holt lost that fight he was winning but just didn't finish his meal, he had it in the bag and was controling him with the jab then inexplicably stopped throwing it got sidetracked and then outworked down the stretch.

    btw do you really need to watch cherry/bradley again to make an assessment? pretty simple fight to analyse, not that many intangibles we know what both guys are gonna bring.

    S&C i will anaylse it to make sure im well prepared in making a decision, itll be straight forward but i might pick something up.

    i saw some positives but alot of negatives vs Holt, im pretty sure i could near beat Bradley ive studied him so much.

    Campbell can do it if he trains very hard.
