Nate Campbell vs. Joan Guzman is Still in Doubt

[Clegg]

Floyd Sr is a pretty experienced guy. I don't know who else works with Guzman, but surely they saw this coming some time ago?

[AFTER HOURS]

the fight should go on...

[KnockoutTheFat]

The most famous (infamous that is) I remember is Joey Gamache vs. Arturo Gatti. Both weighed in at the agreed upon limit of 141. By fight-time Gamache was 144 and Gatti a whopping 160 lbs!

Gamache got a severe trashing and braindamage in that fight. He never fought again.

If there's anything that had "BRUTAL KO" all over it, Gatti-Gamache would be the leading candidate.

Another example of forced, unnatural weight drain??

Guzman is 5' 7" and only average build. Maybe he has very dense bones. His weight has always jumped around quite a bit, almost from fight to fight. In 199 he fought at 131, and a couple of months earlier he was 122. sounds like another Ricky Hatton, but with "hiccups", since Hatton almays makes the weight.

He fought at just 121 in 2005.

So maybe either he hasn't trained- which is hard to believe when facing a guy like Campbell- or his body has refused to perform.

Guzman must've been YOKED and on creatine

could be because the creatine retains water in the muscle and every thing you eat or drink it will suck that water in.

It's campbell crying and his team crying about Joan being overweight!

What? You cannot be serious. Everyone wants to see a fair fight and its Guzman's fault that he couldn't make the weight in the first place. This is an important fight and he should have been more responsible and kept track of his weight. They are suppose to be the same size, thats why weight classes are made. Nate actually wants to fight, team Guzman is thinking about calling it off and that would be smart at this point, we don't want nothing bad to happen to him.

on an old ass interview of him from a few years ago on max boxing video, they said he was at 155 like 3 weeks before his fight at 122! holy crap the guy was that high in weight at 122. then they said he walks around at 185!

This is pathetic...

I wouldn't blame Campbell if he wants the fight called off. It is for safey reasons why we have weight classes.

Hey Domain. You should step in for Guzman since you can kick Margarito's ass, I bet Nate would even be easier.
Could make it a street fight MMA type event.

Give em a call and tell em you'll take the fight

Yep,

If he wins people will discredit it as "Guzman was dehydrated and weak"..
