Post in here and show some respect to Ali Funeka

[Dorian]

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.

****, 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.

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.

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

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.

props to funeka for exposing campbell, campbell's career tank is very close to e

Exposing Campbell? How exactly did he expose him?

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.

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.

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.
