Nate Campbell was unreal. Juan Diaz should not be underrated because of this.

    Campbell fought the fight of his life. After years of inconsistency, he finally put it all together and got a well deserved victory.

    Diaz will be back and would beat any lightweight, maybe even Nate Campbell in a rematch. I'd still have no problems picking Diaz over Pacquiao.

    Nate was awesome!!! It was a stellar performance. I wonder what Acelino Freitas is thinking now.

    He fought on even though his corner or he could have pulled out of the fight any time in the late rounds. He is relentless. And even though he found a fighter with an even greater will to win, he stell kept coming forward.BTW, What happened to you? You were one of the better posters on here. Last couple days youve become one of those looneys that run around ESB.

    Exactly, Juan Diaz can't punch at all.

    He wasn't exposed. And he didn't lose because Campbell went to the body. Did you see the fight?

    I can't give a guy credit for not quitting. You're not supposed to quit. I suspect he kept coming foward because he doesn't have the ability to outbox Campbell from the outside. Campbell was beating him at his own game and beating him bad. Sensing that he was behind, he had no choice but to keep coming foward. That was his only chance of winning. Diaz's game is to apply relentless pressure and break down his opponent. Well, that's exactly what Campbell did to him. Campbell out threw and outlanded Diaz in just about every round. By about the 10th round, Diaz had nothing left. He was a beaten man physically and mentally.

    yeah he had nothing left.

    Campbell really was effective to the body, I wonder how much that played into Diaz wearing down compared to what kind of effect the cut had.

    Personally I think Campbell beats him cut or no cut last night.

    Nate was punishing Diaz with body shots. Diaz didn't have much energy towards the end of that fight. All those body shots he was absorbing certainly contributed to this.

    Didn't you, Campbell was very efective to the body, especially early on.

    PacDbest was right on all accounts in that post. The body shots were a big reason Diaz lost. He had no plan B in that fight.

    How was Diaz not exposed.

    He's more one dimensional than Pacman is, he cant fight backwards and just throws relentless flurries, doesnt setup for openings or anything.
