    The thing us you can't blame the corner for not changing twctics campbell has fought one way all his career. At range with a big size advantage he can't fight on the inside to save his life and when someone can walk through his shots like Mendy did his a sitting duck

    Absolutely, he should have worked it out, but if he doesn't they should. Arguably he was following his corner's order, they were telling him he was winning.

    The problem is that he still has an amateur coach in McCracken and still trains in the amateur set up in Sheffield with an amateur mindset. AJ has managed this as a pro but Campbell simply can't get away with fighting like an amateur at Lightweight. Needs to move away from McCracken and down a weight.

    You're not answering the question.

    Are you saying it's impossible to reverse a loss?

    Everyone says this about other fighters boxing is a close Nit group most get on and want to see people doing well

    I don't think he will unless

    He adapts his game and learns how to fight on the inside. This is a big if because his never fought on the inside and has no inside game what so ever.he could also do with learning to clinch excessively will be a nightmare to watch but a home judge will let him away with in and his fan base won't care but if he hugs anytime his opponent gets inside him he could be very effective
