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.

I know what you mean but I bet you weren't laughing when Panayi did Ross Hale in, the locals have to cheer their man.

I'm watching Tony Conquest who is boxing well.

I don't rate chicken legged Luke!

Campbell reminds me of a cross between Antonio Demarco and Andy lee.

Well done. I have Curtis in an accumulator

Cambell loading up too much, needs to relax and enjoy it!

Not learning a thing, he can get rounds under his belt sparing!

I'm turning over

Campbell looks like he was tested more in his last fight than this. This actually looks like a backward step.

Campbell wants to be in title fights soon, can anyone really see him beating any of the top domestic lightweights right now?

Amir Khan has far faster hands than Campbell.

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.

To be fair pal Khan has had about the fastest hands in boxing since he was 16 years old, he's about as fast as Meldrick Taylor.

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.

I agree. The point I was making is Halling keeps banging on about his speed like's some freak of nature when he's not that quick.

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.

I try to get so drunk I can't hear either my wife of the commentator

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.

Campbell is showing too much respect playing up to Moises.

He's just starting out but he should be blasting this guy out.

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.

He has to be matched with them first.

Not on this evidence.

He has time he's only 26? Plenty o time.
