    Good old Campas always thinks that he has been robbed. The tory of his life.

    Team Campas also claimed that it was a hometown stoppage, when Asikainen stopped him earlier this year, althought that it was more then fair stoppage:

    It is like Campas would like to lose his fights, so he can say that he was robbed. But still I have a huge respect to Campas.

    C'mon, Campas was still in the fight against Aisikanem. He was stunned but he could easily have continued.

    Campas should quit, he is becoming a complete ******. Always smiling like he had won, how long can he fool himself, until he gets hospitalized?

    So, Campas walks into a huge right hand... he wobbles backwards with his hands down and Asikainen lands two big left hooks and a HUGE right hand... And you think that it should had not been stopped? Take a look at that last big right hand, thats a hard FREESHOT. Campas in the ropes hands down and Asikainen nails him, thats a freeshot if anything is. If the ref would had not stopped it there would had been a freeshot #2 and #3, #4 , #5... You think that that should have happened?

    Campas is a better fighter than many give him credit for, even today. He is still a durable veteran, who can test young up and comers and perhaps spring the occasional upset.

    Campas vs. Duddy = one of the best fights of 2006.

    Asikainem doesn't have all that power and Campas was still responding. Campas was stunned, nothing more than that. I don't even think he would be knocked down. Smooger would NEVER stop a fight at that point.

    Campas was outboxing him. Looked the better of the two --- more composed and skilled. Blocking many of the other guys punches.
    Looked like a premature stoppage with Campas playing possum and getting ready to counter and finish Asswipe (whatever his name) off.
