Ray.... your not understanding i dont think what nate had wrong with him, the CUT (which is what my man cotto had) is not what was wrong with nate... his problem was INSIDE... BEHIND his EYEBALL. NOT A CUT..... im not trying to be rude in all honesty im just trying to point out to you that its not a cut thats the problem here. So. that being said. You think Nate was lying about the spots he was seeing (again... not from the cut.. it was from the hemorrhage) You think that hes lying about the hospital diagnosing him with a vitreous hemorrhage, or that the actual doctor is lying about it. Not quite sure all this drama surrounding this and all the stones being cast at him.... the dude was scared for his vision with an injury to his eyeball hes never had before and didnt want to put his eyesight in jeapordy, and yet a lot of people just want to believe he quit because he thought in round 3 he was going to lose? please.... and if that is the reason... ok then, the guy has a L TKO 3 on his record so who gives a ****? whatever, again... i dont care enough to really debate this back and forth, only nate knows... and i believe him.
I dont see what Lance, San and Swann are trying to argue here. Im not a Nate Campbell fan and initially thought he quit(dont know why, this is the guy who got KO'd letting a guy punch him flush in the face, not like he's scared of anything) but as the doctor concluded his vision was affected, his eye was bleeding, and had the fight continued he could have perminantely damaged his eye. Clear as day fellas.
I just saw the fight minutes ago and damn did that sh*t referee screwed things upatsch Actually from the start of the fight one could already see the ref was an annoying b*tch. I hope a rematch or No-Decision will happen next. Sorry for the Bradley fans.
Real professional letter from Campbell, of course it's probably one of King's lawyers that wrote it, but that doesn't matter. A NC and rematch is in order. At least one of those, ideally both. Why not have a rematch, regardless? It was an excellent fight. I can't say i judge Mendoza, either. Headbutts cause a lot of damage in a very short time, and are often hard to see because the fighters are always up close. He obviously didn't see it, but of course he couldn't see that, so he had to make up that he thought the punch caused it. Without slow-motion replay, it's very hard to rule these kind of things. Just a messed up situation.
I don't ever judge a fighter based on their choice to quit, especially after an obvious injury. Boxers are very proud people. Most of them LOVE to fight. Unless there is something seriously wrong with them, they won't quit in the ring. But sometimes, guys get injured in ways that you can't understand...like a damaged retina, or when Vitali had a rotator cuff injury. It may look like quitting to the fans, but it might save their career. Anyone who gets in the ring as much as Campbell has deserves the benefit of the doubt, IMO, regarding their injury.
EZE - There is no point arguing with these fools, they still wouldn't understand even if you gave them a diagram pointing it all out to them. If they found their wife in bed with another man, they would probably still ask for proof of their wife cheating. That's how stupid some of the people are in this thread who still dont get that the man could have lost his sight for good if he had of carried on taking damage to the eye and who's to say that Bradley's big ****ing forehead wouldn't of butted him again in the exact same place. Im with Campbell 100%, he's got sense, unlike 80% of the posters in this Thread.
It was an awful quitting. After the 3rd round he looked in the big screen to see if he can quit on cut. Absoluetly sad.
So then the fight was correctly ruled a TKO. Glad to hear that confirmation. There is no correlation between the Hemorrhage behind his eye and the headbutt.
Campbell has a great track record of being a warrior anyone who calls him a quitter or questions his heart is only fooling themselves. He got a raw deal and the fight should be declared a no contest.
