I would be pleased. Not just because I picked against him, but because he's always so content to cruise to decision, then ***** when he doesn't get it.

Great to see Kampmann back to his winning ways assuming there is no horrible decision.

If that had gone to Story, I would have felt soooo bad for Kampmann.

Split decion? Wow lol.

Let's go Bowles! Hope he gets the win and the next title shot in a rematch against Cruz. Bowles is a sick finisher but I see this going to decision, Faber is tough. I think the fight is a toss up because they are both so good but I'm still going with Bowles.

Judges really hate Kampmann, don't they? He was one judge's decision away from being on a 3-fight losing streak, when he should now be on a 5-fight win streak.

I really wish this would be a five round fight. I have pretty high expectations for it it should be really exciting, hope I'm not disappointed.

It's crazy how fast Faber is. Seemed faster than like everyone at Featherweight and it still seems to be the same thing for him at Bantamweight. I'd say Mighty Mouse is the quickest in the division but Faber is up there along with Benavidez.

Anyway I loved that takedown by Faber toward the end of the round, Bowles had NO chance of stopping that he didn't even have time to react. Wow.
