TIM BRADLEY WINS & CALLS OUT EVERYONE


Tim Bradley W 12 Carlos Abregu SCORES: 118-110, 117-111, 116-112


Bradley moved up to welterweight and made it look easy against the tough Carlos Abregu. He took charge in round 1 with his superior speed. Bradley controlled the pace of the fight while cruising to an easy 12 round shut out. Abregu was physically the bigger man in this fight but it did not matter. The Desert Storm staggered Abregu a few times in the fight as well. The fight was virtually in Bradley's back yard, in Rancho Mirage not far from Palm Springs. He has reeled off quite a few impressive wins in the 140 pound Jr. Welterweight division, and now 1 at welterweight. He has to be considered the best at 140 until he gets beat. The 140 pound division is packed with talent, including Devon Alexander, Amir Khan, and Marcos Maidana. They would all be good match ups, and the fans would want to see them. In the ring in the post fight interview Bradley called everyone including of course Manny Pacquiao.

When questioned by Max Kellerman He said. "I'm making the challenge right now," "Manny Pacquiao come break down this wall, baby. Manny, come break down this wall."

When asked if he would want to fight the other top fighters in the Jr.welterweight division, he said. "Anybody. Any of the top guys in the division. Especially you Devon Alexander."

Here is how Devon Alexander squad answered him. "HBO wants to make the fight, so Team Bradley stop making cowardly moves and stand up and fight. Your own fans are tired of your excuses. On Aug. 7Th, Devon will put on an explosive performance against Kotelnik, and then Bradley will have nowhere to hide."

Amir Khan also offered his rebuttal on a popular Internet networking site (Twitter) . "I'll fight Tim Bradley. Its the first time he called me out. I would love that fight." Good style for me. I'm fighting Tim Bradley next. I'm gonna tell Golden Boy. Lets see if they really want it for real. Talk is cheap."

CUT AND RUN? Nate Cambpell's Thoughts on Tim Bradley Ducking a Rematch

Will Timothy Bradley give Nate Campbell a rematch after he fights Lamont Peterson? I think a rematch would be an interesting fight and it would garner attention from boxing fans. I am sure that a rematch with Campbell would generate a bigger purse then his next mandatory fight with Peterson. From my perspective Bradley wants no part of a rematch with Campbell. If someone came up to me in the street and tried to fight me you bet I would fight back, and then get him back into the ring asap. There are a lot of people claiming to be fighters in the sport of boxing but there are few who will actually back it up. You shouldn't have to plead your case to get a rematch if the fight was stopped early or if you got a bad decision, the other fighter should step up and sign on the dotted line. I caught up with Nate Campbell and asked him if he thought Tim Bradley was ducking him or even wanted a rematch. Nate Campbell said " Nick I don't even think about, but he's doing what people want him to do and stay away from me". Nate is focused on facing the best in boxing and making the biggest match up, for him and the fans. What ever way you look at it weather you back Nate or Tim you should want to see a rematch.

NATE CAMPBELL EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW




Nate held nothing back in his interview with us. He touched on such subjects as the California State Athletic Commission decision and what happened afterwords, exactly what he thinks about Tim Bradley, and much much more. It seems he still has a chip on his shoulder and it is not slowing him down at all, in fact it pushes him to succeed. If you want to see the boxing world through Nate's eyes or just want to listen to a great two part interview then just press play.

DECISION IS NO DECISION AND WE ALMOST SAW A BRADLEY, CAMPBELL REMATCH FOR FREE


California State Athletic Commission overturns the original Tim Bradley TKO victory over Nate Campbell to a no contest. It should have been ruled a no-decision in the first place because of the obvious headbutt, at least Nate can sleep a little easier now. Some people questioned Campbell's heart after the stoppage but if you can't see you shouldn't fight. Only time will tell if there will be a rematch. The two had words in the minor scuffle and almost turned real ugly after the hearing. Good thing nothing really happened because I would hate to see either fighter be suspended because of one moment of insanity. Maybe the instant replay could stop hearings and quit wasting the fights, and promoters time and energy. We will get the real story when we talk to Mr. Campbell in the coming days, until then hopefully they wont fight unless it is in the ring.
