Round 3

Nevin lands a left hook to the body. Campbell has a wardrobe malfunction. Nevin steps in and scores a right hand as Campbell slaps at his neck with his right and left, wrist shots. Nevin rushes in and gets DROPPED by a well timed left hand!! Nevin gets back up and starts popping the jab on the way in, drumming it off Campbell's guard. They both miss a few shots en route to a clinch which the ref breaks and cautions Campbell for. 1-2 by Campbell, and Nevin leaps back out of the way. Campbell backs up and tries to line up a left to the body but Nevin is atop him, and they hold. Neither can land cleanly to the body on the inside. Campbell lands a 1-2 backing up. I've got it three three with half a minute left. Straight left lead by Campbell noses him out in front. Nevin comes in and claps at the guard and tries to work underneath the elbows but can't reach the body. Long right hand by Nevin chasing, missing.
