Haha 6-2 Campbell
Mendy hasn't been competitive since the third.
I think I gave Mendy rnd 6 only just - great performance and movement from Campbell

I've been watching the darts on BBC2. More entertaining.

I love Crolla but I'd pick Campbell to win that.
same, would be a career best win
Campbell's got too much talent for Ant and AC won't be able to wear him down.

Undercard was pretty weak indeed. I hope, the main event will fix this disappointing situation.

Fair play to Campbell that was a good performance, great win made the necessary adjustments to beat Mendy handily this time, wasn't much on his shots a lot of the time but he did sit down on them sometimes, Mendy stalked put pressure on but was reluctant to let his hands go when in range, Campbell jabbed well, moved well and landed some nice left hands to the head and body, fought at a good pace, I wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep moving like that for 12 but he done it at a canter

Campbell's got too much talent for Ant and AC won't be able to wear him down.
His inability to really put a fighter off with strong punching is a real weakness though. A stronger fighter similar to Mendy could be real trouble for him.

camp should fight him then and get a career best win over a well known brit name who is still fairly relevant

That was personal for Campbell. He knew he was a class above Mendy and he proved it. Fair play to him.

No

117-111 is probably more accurate, but I can see a case for 119-109. It was a clear Campbell win.

Whyte's on screen charisma reminds me of that bloke who ended up on BBC News live on tv when he’d just come for a job interview.

David 'Girl Guide' Price retiring after 4 rounds - to hopefully f.cuk off into obscurity now - followed by quite possibly the worst fight I have ever seen in Okolie v Askin, and now a fairly dull fight in Campbell v Mendy. This Campbell fight hasn't been terrible, but I've hardly been glued to the screen either.

Bellew v Cleverley 2 is looking positively fair value compared to this.

Joshua v Povetkin had better be epic....
Yeah this has been garbage so far, worse than an average Saturday Fight Night.

The Bellew v Usyk staredown has been the best entertainment so far.....

AC will seriously, absolutely believe he can win that and that's why I would rather it didn't happen for AC's sake.
