If it was the other way around you'd complain he aint here because he knows it's mismatches.
Na it tells me a lot that he's not there backing burns in person.
He said his old man wanted to go instead.

That was a decent looking win from Luke, showed some decent pop

Early stoppage for Campbell.

TOWEL CAME IN!
Only saw it on the replay, still came in early though, French lad was hurt but nothing was landing and he was still defending himself.

Guy was game. I think Luke was a little surprised that the guy was better than expected. Campbell finished well.

Aye the little counter right to the chin was beautifully timed, barely travelled a foot too, right after a decent body shot to get his hand down. Leapt on him pretty quick after that and had him rolling about a bit. Quality counter punching with a bit of spite, quite impressed, although the opp was obviously pretty average, but had gone the distance against ok opp.

Time for Smith to fight someone with a pulse as well...
"Oh but he's been out for 6 months"...so what?

I genuinely think Vera has a chance if he has any ambition left (has plenty of time to train.) I think Fielding may be the most over-rated guy in the UK. He couldn't get that guy out of there.

Do many people rate Fielding highly?

Well they view the Vera fight as a precession judging by the reaction to the fight being announced.

If it was just to shake off some Ring rust they should have given him someone a bit tougher or bigger than that ...the only thing that's going to give him is overconfidence

By half a stone, stopped trying to make it when he felt he couldn't get down to 12st, should have had his license taken away for that.

Fielding has struggled in many of his fights. Vera shouldn't be considered an obvious win for him.

Why isn't Callum fighting for the British title?

:lol: just noticed Lamptey is 2-5 against opps with winning records and the 2 were 10-8 and 9-4.

Teak tough, spirit of Azumah and all that, no doubt ;;-)
