Somebody on here has been calling it for weeks. Just wnated to say good call. I don;t think anyone else saw it coming.
I recall a couple of posters saying it. Cambell is a very good fighter, and I thought that his shot at winning would come via early knockout...But all and all I thought that Diaz would work him and stop him late...
I watched Campbell fight for many years and was glad to see him finally win a title, but time is not on his side, he must fight again ASAP for as much money as possible. Don King knew about this before the fight, he dropped Diaz, signed Campbell before the fight.
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38115&page=2 I've been saying keep campbell away since before the match was made....bad matchup.
How much of an effect do you think Diaz's promotional problems had on this fight? I hear Don King was really being an ******* and was doing everything he could to make Diaz lose.
No, I thought Campbell was too old. All I said was that he's excellent and that he'd be the toughest of Diaz's career and most don't see that coming. Didn't think he'd look near prime there and fully focused. Credit to the ESB poster 'Magnum', he said Campbell would beat him definitively right after Diaz beat Freitas.
Cambell is a bad matchup for anyone that doesnt have to fight him...Honestly if I had a fighter at 130 or 135 I wouldnt sign a fight with Campbell unless I was forced to. Campbell lost to Peden when he had no business trying to fight at 130..He lost a close fight to Casamayor that many thought he won, and the other L really wasnt L's. Campbell is a rear guy in boxing...He is a small guy that came to boxing late and turned out really good. Just think had he started boxing before he was 27...maybe amoung the top p4p guys
Campbell is like Texas Tech is in Big 12 football...they'll never, ever be #1 but they damn near always spoil #1's season... IMO, he also beat Casamayor and was cheated on the cards.
Did you see Don King talking to the judges about the headbutt? Don King dropped Diaz before the fight because he knew something. He also signed Campbell. I am glad to see Campbell finally win a title, just hope Don King does not cheat him out of his money.
