    Which defeats? Hes had quite alot early in his career he actually lost about 6 of his first 12 bouts but then started working harder and improving. recenty he hasnt had many defeats and the ones that spring to mind are controversial against the mongolian in the milan world championships were he lost by 1 pnt but had the ref warn him twice for pushing (adding 2points to mongolia each time +4ponts) there was a very controversion decision against the turk in turkey in the euros. they was a controversial defeat to ryan farrag which was lukes second bout in 14 months due to surgury on a hand and his sencond fight at a new weight. and then there was a loss to the cuban world championship finals which wasnt controversial but was a goo close bout which campbell could have won if he started faster. he has never been stopped or put down to which i can remember

    I have just been informed he was stopped 3 times in his first 16 bouts all before he turned 14 years old but never been down so i stand corrected but i dont think they can still be counted really

    I think he lost his first 2 fights by stoppage & was told he was useless & would never make it.

    It's a bit early to tell, but how do people think he will do as a pro?

    for his weight he will be similar to burns as in the fact he will be taller and have longer reach than his oppenents
