RBR!!! Luke Campbell (20-3) vs. Ryan Garcia (20-0) - January 2nd 2021
- Thread starter wesshaw1985

Didn't call it perfectly, but I'll take that.
Great fight; nauseating commentary. Was clear Garcia would have won on the cards if he took a shit in the ring and smeared it on the canvas for 12 rounds.
Just watched the fight, definitely didn't feel as if Campbell was getting enough credit for the work he was putting in, he would crack the head back of Garcia to no response from the commentary team. Garcia is quick with a decent dig but still pretty raw and for me a little naive at times, he obviously got time on his hands but I'm not sure I see him on the same level as the likes of Lopez, Haney and Davis just yet. In terms of his training he couldn't be in better hands so it will be interesting to see how his career plays out over the next 3 or 4 fights. I can see him getting Linares next.
I wasted no time and literally turned the sound off after about 30 seconds into the fight.
You might be right, but let's not forget that Luke started his pro career later than most due to being an amateur for so long. I personally feel he's still adapting to the pro game. The still shows an amateur style with the point scoring and lack of killer instinct.
That's a negative though imo look at Degale amateur training fights camps put miles on the clock and wear and tear on the body.

I agree, I only just watched it and when I saw the kid on the floor I thought perfect as now we can see what he's made of, he had two choices, keep the faith or throw in the towel, he got up and maintained belief that he was the better man and would get the victory in the end, I give him more credit for the win because of how he responded having suffered his first career KD, it was a tremendous response that let me know that he's a real fighter, I too didn't feel he was going to lose it once I saw the 3rd round.
I do feel Campbell should have been all over him once he got up, he's dropped a guy who's used to having his own way, never been dropped before and thus doesn't know if he has the heart or desire to go to the trenches but he didn't attack him, instead he let him recover and get back into the fight, I think that was a critical mistake.
Theres a change in guard now and i feel old as fuck. Campbell is the same age as me. But honestly that's life you cant be young forever guys like khan. Brook. Campbell etc born around the same time are on there way out guys like garcia are the future even lomochenko is on his way out this sport is a youngmans games i remember back in the day when marquez knocked out juan diaz marquez at the age of 35 doing that to a young unified champion and prior to that nate Campbell at the age of 35 pulled the upset on juanma but today the shape of these fighters are different. Honestly its bitter sweet but what else can you say. Guys like marquez and Bernard Hopkins were exceptions to the rule
Agree 100% Hopkins just a freak of nature did u see him during fight he looked younger than Canelo

Was only talking about hitting gloves in relation to rounds 3 & 4. The commentators were talking as if he was in control but I saw a fighter hitting a lot of gloves & elbows whilst taking shots to head & body in them rounds.U say Garcia hitting gloves have u seen Luke face name a fight he has been marked up like that. He turned his back ffs went back to to corner and Shane had to put water down his shorts. Yes Garcia is wild sometimes but he has power that when he does land shit hits the fan.
Garcia vs Haney
Loma vs Lopez
Campbell vs Tank
Nothing against Linares his best days well behind him wouldn't be surprised if he faced Tank.
Its a tough one for Luke big money fights Linares Loma Garcia where does he go.
Kambosos Commey
Selby lol

No disputing Garcia did a lot of damage in rounds 5, 6 & 7. My hope was that it would be Campbell who survived an early storm & then turned the fight round but it went the opposite way.
Campbell’s just unlucky with what weight class he’s in. You look at Cleverly, L. Smith, Stuart Hall, Nicky Cook, & even Selby & Groves & think if Campbell would’ve got world title shots against that kind of opponent he would have been a world champ by now.
He’s got 4 choices really. Retire, move weight class, become a gatekeeper or wait around for an easier shot.
I don’t think he’ll want to become a gate keeper & at 33 I don’t think he’s got the time to wait around so it’s probably retirement or a change of weight.
Wasn't having a go I have 2 forums going and the wcb whats app group and quite a few were saying Garcia hitting gloves.
Retire depends if he wants another world title shot and willing to go through eliminators
Move weight class bad idea imo
Gatekeeper is the money there during current climate.
Wait around could be the best option but with the current pool of talented boxers could be waiting a long time.

He's in the unfortunate situation of being in the weight division with an absolute mass of talent so even working his way to the next title is going to be heavy going. Moving up in weight would mean a similar struggle too imo.
He could probably earn a few quid with a domestic dust-up to against Burns, Selby or James Tennyson and hope that one of the world title belts becomes vacant in the meantime.

Go get the papers get the papers.
I just re-watched the fight in Full HD and with the commentary on.
I saw Ryan hitting a lot of forearms, gloves and air. Yes ultimately he did more damage but the scorecards were as criminal as expected.
I think Luke should've been ahead on the cards before he was stopped. He was landing more clean punches.
''Compu''box looked like a scam too.
