    There is this place where they like to talk boxing, and they interviewed someone from Urango's promotional team. He says they are willing to fight Nate Campbell next, as they are allowed to make a voluntary defense before they fight a mandatory. He also said Nate turned them down.

    onepunch.net.... get in here and clarify this...LOL

    anyways... what are your thoughts on this fight?

    It sounds like a good fight to me, I would love to see it. I think Campbell wins by UD, his experience and better boxing skills would be too much for Urango.

    I doubt he would of turned them down. He only stepped up a few days ago.

    I'm not sure, on one hand I don't think Campbell will be strong enough at 140, especially against a beast like Urango, on the other hand I go with my heart and say Campbell.

    I'm not sure how much success Campbell will have at 140 but he does match up well with Urango. Then again, Urango is a big, strong, aggressive jr welter and I don't know if Campbell could deal with that considering its a new weight, his age, and some signs of slipping in his last fight. Its a very interesting fight.

    An easy fight for the Galaxy Warrior

    Remember guys hes a fresh 36, he only started boxing in his mid 20s.

    He will last a while

    Nate should win this one, if not, how he performs will be a gauge at 140.

    i think Urango may be to strong and his pressure and punching power would wear down nate...i say urango by SD or late TKO

    I want Campbell to win but againt this guy, it's gonna be very very tough.

    Whoever controls the in-fighting wins and i don't see how Nate can overpower Urango.

    I hope i'm wrong though.

    Yes, we turned down the Urango fight. Nate is very tight with Randall Bailey, and Bailey is fighting an eliminator to be Urango's mandatory. Nate refused to skip Randall and take his shot. AFTER Randall gets his shot, Nate would fight Urango no problem.

    Nate did turn it down, but only because he said his friend Randall Bailey is looking to fight Urango and Bailey gets first dibs.

    TBH

    Im a Campbell fan but I think Urango is the worst matchup for Nate at 140 moreso than Hattona and Pacman

    Juan is too strong for Nate if he puts a good pressure Nate will fold I saw sign of wear and tear on his last fight, he ate lot's of leather from a feather fisted fighter he won't be able to slow down the bull for 12 rounds.

    Thank you sir.

    Keep the votes coming, so far it's a 50/50 fight.

    Didnt a tomato/can ktfo campbell with one shot?? Urango seems to have grit/toughness, and good power, but can be erratic.. Weighing those facts, Urango late tko or UD
