Review of Marquez vs. Bradley::Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 : Bob Arum is working on it





The               junior               welterweight               title               fight               between               Timothy               Bradley,               the               defending               champion,               and               Nate               Campbell               was               highly               anticipated               in               the               boxing               community.

On               Saturday               night               the               two               fighters               met,               but               they               only               had               to               put               in               three               rounds               of               work               before               the               fight               came               to               an               end.

After               a               head               butt               seemingly               opened               up               a               cut               over               the               left               eye               of               Nate               Campbell,               he               told               the               ringside               doctor               in               the               corner               that               he               couldn't               see               out               of               the               eye.

The               doctor               of               course               then               stopped               the               bout,               however               the               fight               was               ruled               a               victory               for               Bradley,               rather               than               the               No               Contest               that               Campbell               had               assumed               would               be               ruled.
               The               rule               in               boxing               is               that               when               a               fight               is               stopped               due               to               a               cut               caused               from               a               head               butt               prior               to               the               fourth               round,               it's               ruled               a               No               Contest               or               No               Decision.

Afterward,               the               fight               would               go               to               the               scorecards.

However,               if               the               fight               is               stopped               at               any               time               due               to               a               cut               caused               from               a               punch,               the               fighter               with               the               cut               loses               the               fight               via               stoppage.
               Campbell               felt               that               the               referee               had               ruled               the               cut               to               be               caused               by               a               head               butt,               however               the               referee               made               the               final               decision               that               a               punch               caused               the               cut.

Therefore,               the               win               went               to               Bradley               and               Campbell               unknowingly               set               himself               up               for               a               loss.
               Here's               a               look               at               both               sides               of               the               controversy.
               Why               Nate               Campbell               Was               Right
               Nate               Campbell               was               right               in               this               situation               because               there               was               clearly               a               vicious,               although               unintentional,               head               butt               in               the               third               round               of               the               fight.

Immediately               after               the               head               butt,               Campbell               backed               away,               looked               at               the               referee               and               said               "head               butt"               and               pawed               at               his               eye               as               if               he               felt               blood               beginning               to               stream.

The               referee               at               that               time               did               note               the               head               butt.
               Considering               the               rules               described               above,               if               Campbell               couldn't               continue               after               the               third               round,               the               fight               should               have               been               ruled               a               No               Contest,               because               the               cut               stemmed               from               the               clash               of               heads.
               Why               Nate               Campbell               Was               Wrong
               Nate               Campbell               was               wrong               in               this               situation               because               regardless               of               the               rule,               he               willingly               took               himself               out               of               the               fight               and               apparently               was               looking               for               a               way               out.

He               seemed               sluggish               in               the               opening               rounds               and               not               on               his               game,               and               the               cut               seemed               like               a               welcome               opportunity               for               Campbell               to               get               a               redo               on               the               evening.

If               Campbell               was               as               confident               in               his               ability               to               win               the               fight               as               he               claimed,               he               should               have               fought               through               the               cut               and               continued               to               battle.
               While               the               cut               was               nasty,               and               blood               could               have               been               getting               into               his               eyes,               in               his               corner               between               rounds               his               trainer               seemed               to               be               able               to               wipe               away               the               blood               easily.

The               ringside               doctor               was               also               surprised               when               Campbell               said               he               couldn't               see,               since               his               face               appeared               to               be               wiped               clean.

Therefore               despite               the               incorrect               ruling               of               the               referee,               Campbell               should               have               either               1)               clarified               with               the               referee               what               the               final               ruling               was               or               2)               fought               on               instead               of               taking               himself               out               of               the               fight.
               With               the               win,               Timothy               Bradley               remains               undefeated               and               is               the               top               140-lb.

fighter               in               the               world,               looking               beyond               weight               class               jumping               Manny               Pacquiao               and               Juan               Manuel               Marquez.

A               rematch               may               be               forced,               but               it               is               unlikely               that               the               fight               is               changed               to               a               No               Contest               in               review.
