    A No Contest, though if a rematch happens Bradley will win, maybe even by stoppage.

    Going by the rules, yeah it's an NC, but it sure stank of "weak sauce" and "quit" on Campbell's part...

    They need a new classification.

    Campbell should get a "1" in the "Q" column.

    No contest. Cut was clearly caused by a head butt.

    Boy... The fight was stopped because Nate 'The Galaxy Warrior' Campbell said he could not see.

    The fight WAS NOT stopped because of a headbutt.. This is crazy.

    True. But it gets down to splitting hairs, as video shows a pretty clear headbutt.. The way I see it? The ruling is correct now, as the ref never called a butt, and the doctor ended the fight due to Nate not wanting to contuinue; TKO is correct ruling in that situation. The video should overturn it to a NC though.

    Right, rules are rules...if the fight was stopped due to a cut then it a NC. But the fight was stopped because Nate said he could not see, so it's a TKO.

    Splitting hairs?? I wouldn't call it that. Campbell dictated the outcome, directly, himself.

    If the referee stopped it, then we're splitting hairs.

    Should be ruled a no contest,but the rematch will just be a one sided easy pay day for bradley.

    Whether the cut was caused by the headbutt or not is irrelevant. The cut didn't stop the fight. The fight was stopped because Nate said he could not see. Even after they wiped the cut clean he still said he could not see. It was not the cut that affected his vision he said he was seeing spots.

    The cut wasn't the reason for the stoppage. Nate saw spots. He himself stopped the fight, not the cut. There is no way of knowing that the head butt was the cause for him seeing spots....

    To call it a NC when the cut wasn't the issue would set a dangerous precedent.

    No contest, though I believe a rematch is a waste of time because Bradley is entering his prime and already proved that he was way too fast for old man Campbell.
