Wasn't expecting anything else
I understand that prospects arent going to be fighting world beaters at this stage but cmon, this is just pointless! What do they actually learn from this?!
These prospect headlining acts don't interest me at all
It's wrong but I would love one to get sparked out

What is Halling on about in regards to Campbells speed aswell?! Campbell has got good hand speed but listening to Halling you'd think you were watching a prime sugar ray leonard in terms of handspeed!

I have the same feeling. Purely because of the mismatch element.

Nothing again prospects headlining shows but I have a problem when they are headlining mismatches. Nothing wrong with a guy like Inoue/Lomachenko/Murata, in headlining if their opponent is acceptable.
In fact I think Kosei Tanaka is headlining on his next card (against Ronelle Farreras), admittedly it's not televised but it's that level of "prospect headlining" that I accept. This is BS though.
This kind of match making is actually detrimental IMO. Guys like Campbell actually end up with a false sense of confidence based on beating up human punchbags.
What's Halling on about? Why would the corner stop the fight? Moises hasn't been hurt once and he's smiled the whole way through it like all of his fights.

I disagree because I think this fight is extending him. If he'd gone in and knocked over some obscure Latvian I'd agree, but while he is obviously outlanding the guy he isn't exactly staggering him. It'll probably give him a kick up the jacksy to work on his power but also it's extended him 8 rounds (assuming it goes the distance.) I expect the standard to step up very slightly to guys who will actually come with a bit of ambition rather than the spoilers and coverers.

Halling does half chat some shit. One minute he's raving about how good Campbell is, the next he's saying how the british scene is so deep that Campbell isnt ready

It extends him but being extended and not having to deal with someone actually trying to hit you back doesnt teach you much IMO.

Yes, me. Campbell needs to be tested right away, he's 26 and was a top international amateur YEARS ago. Luke is very, very good, don't be surprised if he beats some of the top five very soon.
