      honestly, its possible Funeka KOs him, the guy is a pretty huge puncher and physically a monster. seriously, hes gigantic for 135.

      but when Campbell is motivated, he is death. he landed over 400 punches on Diaz, and Diaz had the second or 3rd best defense behind Mayweather at that point.(according to compubox, who are incredibly inaccurate but whatever)

        Key words being ''when motivated''.....I doubt Funeka will motivate him.He is already thinking of JMM or Barrera etc.

            I doubt the Funaeka fight is gonna make some serious money.A fight with JMM would make more.That's why he wants it.

              but if he loses to funeka he wont get a fight with jmm. so he is going to start over.

                Yeah i've watched the full fight, as its a very close fight which could of went either way. Really impressed with Nate here due to the fact that Joel was a brillant amature (Gold Medalist) being boxing since he can remeber etc, and here you have Nate who never even stared until his mid 20's and he going to the wire decisions with the likes of Joel and after this would go on to become Undisputed LW champion, just proves at times age is only a number.

                    funeka is a stay busy fight and to make some money before a big fight. but funeka is a tough opponent. dude is ****in huge and he looks very strong and his technique is pretty good. I dunno how dude lost to fana.

                    im hoping nate can win it and get his paydays.

                      He's making 6 figures for the fight, tell me why he wouldn't be motivated for a title defense.

                      It's not even about being motivated because he seemed very into it when he fought his best friend Ricky Quiles. If you've seen that fight, Campbell beat the living **** out of him from bell to bell.

                      Nate's problem was making weight at 130, he had problems for a long time at that weight. His only loss at 135 has been to Issac Hlatschwayo, who is now a mandatory challenger at 147 pounds.
