To be fair, he was ahead on two cards (a round closer than we had it, but still).

No doubt, and Fonfara fought him much tougher than Shumenov or Cloud. He got the win and deserved it. The way he was pressing, He ultimately may have earned a decision if it had gone 12. But Campillo had a history of being on the wrong end of decisions fighting on the road, so you can understand my skepticism.
I felt Campillo was landing the more telling punches most of the fight but Fonfara didn't give up and ultimately broke him down. Campillo has had a nice run but in the end, he didn't have the power to keep two stronger fighters, Kovalev and Fonfara, off him when it counted. He also doesn't seem to have the word's best chin, so he should probably pack it in at his age.

Agreed about packing it in, though he survived Cloud and should've won that one. I was just saying that, as it turned out, he was treated fairly on two of the cards, anyway.

Kovalev would whoop Fonfara.

I think Kovalev would whip most Light Heavyweights.
