I don't know a whole lot about this Garcia fella. He's a good record and I've seen a few highlights. If Campbell loses he should maybe consider retirement. I don't see any big money fights waiting for him.

Campbell is fuckin shit. Throwing every left hand from his waist in a swing.

Garcia is highly touted, so should win this one.

What's the latest with Michael Conlan and Jason Quigley? Both careers seem to be moving along very slowly, with both records littered with low quality fighters.

Cracking fight, Garcia really tested. He's the real deal but still very rough around the edges and really needs to improve his footwork. Going near Lopez or Tank Davis would be a bit much at this stage. However, he recovered well from the knockdown and put away a guy who has never been stopped

Loses a split decision to Linares and goes the distance with Loma. But yes, he's "fuckin shit".

That division is probably the hottest in boxing at the minute with Lopez, Lomachenko, Garcia, Tank and Haney. Talk though is of Lomachenko going back to 130 and Lopez moving up.

Lopez has a big frame on him and will be well suited to 140 where a Mikey Garcia fight would be huge. Maybe even Josh Taylor. Probably eyeing Spence and Crawford at 147 as well, but Garcia himself got a bad beating going up against Spence too soon.

Lopez- Davis would be a massive fight.

There's a lot of talk of Tennyson-Linares. Linares is on the slide and would really have to sweat to get down to 135 these days but if he was to win that, Tennyson should get a fight against one of the big guns. He'd have a chance against the Garcia that was on show tonight, if only for a few rounds.

Wasn't tested at all. It was one-way traffic apart from a flash knockdown. Won every round other than that one.

It's the modern world. Win and you're the best ever -  lose against a world class opponent and you're 'fuckin shit'. It's the same in every sport in our social media world. Campbell is the best name on Garcia's record by a mile.

Will be interesting to see what the fall out is from this.

Usual journalists really pushing this but it seems to be falling on a deaf ear from those at the top of the chain.

MTK really are a mammoth player in boxing now

square_ball

Boxing will be full of denials about knowing the full extent of his involvement in MTK.

Taylor

A nothing show really - just seemed to rehash others stories and pull it together.

Is it just all about the €€€€€ for the boxers and they dont give a shite were it comes from?

Wee Barry would have come across very admirable if he hadnt just had to pay out millions in court recently because he was shafting his boxers  :o
