In case anyone was looking for the worst ring announcer in boxing history, he's at the Diaz-Campbell fight.

4-1 Campbell.
This is a good scrap and Campbell is showing a lot of pride. He's standing toe to toe with Diaz and getting the best of him. It's close though! This could be a huge upset!

This fight is one of those "phone booth" fights but right now Nate is getting the best of Diaz. He's landing a ton of crisp, short shots on the inside, knocking Diaz' head from side to side. Diaz just isn't landing as many CLEAN shots. Let's see if Nate can keep it up.

It has been a good fight, but It sounds loke HBO is trying its hardest to make the public believe that this is the same as Vazquez/Marquez

This has all the makings of a really weird night of boxing.
I'm getting the feeling that Diaz could run across the ring and hit Campbell with the stool and this stooge of a referee wouldn't take a point... but Nate gets a point taken for landing a punch and causing a cut. What an assclown.

I agree that Campbell is winning. He's landing the better shots and HBO isn't giving him credit for it. I'm going to be really upset if they stop this fight or if Diaz wins by one bullshit point deduction.

Just going straight back for half the round.
But the fight is in Cancun, there are three questionable judges and one fighter has a Mexican flag on his trunks. I won't hold my breath for a good decision. I have Campbell up 3 points right now, 77-74.

Lampley needs to stop with the judges already. I have saw most of the guys he praises give bullshit scores. Maybe these so called inexperienced judges is what we need. I am sick of them putting up judges pictures that look like they can barely see.

At least Tom Kaczmarek, Steve Weisfeld, and Eugenia Williams aren't at ringside.

Campbell is CLEARLY winning. He might get a late KO here.
If it goes the distance, I will hunt down the judges and kill them if they give this fight to Diaz.

Smart money says Diaz starts bitching in the postfight interview... unless he gets handed a win or a DRAW.

Now if this ref would have taken a point for Campbell running his mouth, then it would be justified. He need sto just shut up and fight. I like Diaz and all but he os not doing enough and it is a shame that he is going to lose to a guy that is know for being an idiot in the ring.
One thing I find funny is this horrible announcing crew says that Diaz connot knock Campbell out with one punch. Robbie Peden did it so I know Diaz can too.

if I am Campbell I try to at least get a KD, or go for the KO in this round, because I would not trust them going to the cards even though I feel he is ahead.

Stevie Wonder has Campbell up big in this fight... but that doesn't mean these judges do.
With the exception of having a knockdown or two, this looks like Kostya Tszyu's fight with Vince Phillips.

I agree. I don't feel too comfortable for nate for some reason even though he's winning big IMO

You know, I wanted to put $20 on Campbell tonight but Sportsbook.com didn't have any odds on the fight. I'm getting a bad feeling on this. I'm feeling like Campbell's about to get screwed.

Campbell shortened his punches tonight. He wansn't throwing wide punches. I think that he sacrificed a bit of power for accuracy for the most point. But Diaz does have a hell of a beard.
