    I will be seriously pissed off.
    Hopefully the rest of the LW world doesnt just hang out at GB tournaments ignoring him.

          Nate should have taken the WBA mandatory and made a little cash on the way until things settle more at lightweight, this is possibly a dangerous fight right here, hopefully Team Campbell knows something we dont. To me he almost has to fight this fight like he did the Diaz fight, staying on the outside and rolling then coming back with a right hand I dont think will work against Funeka, Funeka kept fought tall against Raheem and he isnt a guy you reall wanna stay in front of on the outside, but again we will see what happens.

            He reminds me of a lightweight Pavlik...though scarily he's almost as tall. However, from briefly watching him I think he might have some of the same issues as Pavlik such as poor infighting because of his long reach. I think Campbell can take this guy if he comes in with the right gameplan (hopefully John David Jackson who helped prepare Hopkins for Pavlik will take some of the same cues) but he could be in for a rough night. I'm really just going to have to wait and see what happens Saturday before trying to predict where this guy stands in the division because right now I and a lot of people are only going by a lone video clip.

              If that happens surely Nate will call for a rematch.

                  More power to him if he does, but i just cant see it. Funekas chin is pretty weak, he hasnt fought anyone of this caliber and i think Campbell is going to break this kid down, hurt, then K em.......

                    I'll be honest... I know absolutely nothing about Funeka. Anyone care to educate me... how good is this dude?

                      Then he should try and make some friends at GBP as soon as possible.

                      It's sad, but it seems like that's his best option if he wants the big fights against the top guys.
