Post in here and show some respect to Ali Funeka

This guy has some serious talent. He does a lot of things well. Why did he let Nate push him around so much at the end though? Even the two KDs wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for him letting Nate stay inside and outwork him at the end. He was so good at moving, and turning Nate everytime his back was on the ropes. Firign his jab, hook off the jab to the body. Mixing up his hooks. Following his corner's advice by throwing uppercuts. He's going to be a force as long as his chin holds up. Have to remember Nate can punch too so his chin might not be too bad.

Props to Funeka, he's a hell of a fighter. I felt really bad for him as he was obviously heartbroken over the decision. Like Campbell said, his day will come.

props to funeka for exposing campbell, campbell's career tank is very close to e :lol1: Exposing Campbell? How exactly did he expose him? :nonono: The only problem with the big fights is the aftermath and posts like the one above. Anyway, huge props to Funeka. He fought brilliantly and I agree that he will be a big force in lightweight, if his body can stay there, for years to come. He can box and fight and has good speed and power. At 6'1 he will be very hard for anyone to beat. Also props to Campbell for taking this fight. He could have let go of his belts and gone for the Marquez fight or a different fight, especially as Raheem had just been blown out by Funeka. Raheem was hard to hurt and very slippery, so it was pretty telling that Nate took him on. I doubt a lot of guys would have been willing to lose their belts to such a high risk/low reward guy.

Ali fought a great fight and dominated most of the fight. But he got dropped twice which made it a closer fight than it should have been. One question I would have for Funeka why the hell did you stop throwing those body shots they were really getting to Nate.

I hope Funeka somehow ends up seeing the posts in this thread. I know he must feel like total shit right now, it'd be nice if he knew that he gained a shitload of fans with his performance tonight.

I like Funeka, He's really skilled and has a good punch and is real big. He's gonna cause problems for ANYONE at 135.

Shit, nevermind. Neither Google nor Yahoo has one single decent picture of Funeka for me to draw upon. I'll have to wait a bit until more pics surface. Too bad. Don't forget though. Damn, but that just goes to show you how much more popular boxing should be.

Props to him for coming back from two big knockdowns and finishing on his feet like you said, He is a great challenge for anyone in the devision, that's for sure.

Ha ha, well I look forward to seeing that. If I remember correctly, the movies "Trouble Man" and "Three Tough Guys" also had cool posters, but are not as popular as the classics "Super Fly" or "The Mack." I'll probably do it on "Trouble Man" instead, on second thought. Funeka as Super Fly in a pimp suit just won't work. Though it would be ace to see hoes clinging to either of his legs. :lol1:

I can agree with that. The only thing Paul has over Funeka is his chin, other then that Funeka > Paul at everything. Actually Funeka took the punches to the chin pretty well. It was the shots to the temple that put him down twice.

Hell yeah, I'm tempted to photoshop a pic of Funeka's face on the cover of the "Super Fly" DVD.........Shit, I think I will..... Ha ha, well I look forward to seeing that.

Cool, thanks. However it's officially pronounced it's a cool-looking name. It seems like it belongs on the poster of some '70s blaxploitation kung-fu flick. Hell yeah, I'm tempted to photoshop a pic of Funeka's face on the cover of the "Super Fly" DVD.........Shit, I think I will.....

I'm not sure on the official pronounciation, but I pronounce it like Foo-Nay-Ka. Cool, thanks. However it's officially pronounced it's a cool-looking name. It seems like it belongs on the poster of some '70s blaxploitation kung-fu flick.

Funeka's performance is how you make instant fans overnight. Respect and, yeah, would want to see him fight again. By the way, how do you pronounce his name? The HBO announcers each said it differently. (Also, Nate didn't have the belts anymore, but do you think because it was a close fight that the decision still went to him because you're supposed to take the belt in convincing fashion?)

Funeka won that fight IMO. Nate was gased and everythang.
