Nate Campbell Wins Close Decision Over Ali Funeka

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

At the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida, Nate Campbell (33-5-1, 25 KOs) won a close majority decision over Ali Funeka (30-2-2, 25KOs). Because Campbell was unable to make weight on Friday, all of his lightweight titles, the WBA, WBO and IBF, are all vacant. Campbell used two knockdowns to pull from behind and win the fight. The scores were 113-113 for the draw, 115-111 and 114-112 for Campbell. [details]

Campbell is a one hit wonder, fat and ****** is no way to go through life.

i had it a draw,but it was that close,no complaints

[Puntoyhauf]

a draw after a controversial draw?.. I don't even want to imagine it.

[Pullcounter]

yeah, i thought is was a draw... they screwed funeka, he's a really good boxer

I had Funeka by a round, cant complain about the desicion cause it was close, but 115-111 is tooo much.

Funeka got this.

But after what happened in the Martinez fight, I cant say I'm surprised with this scoring. Nate virtually took all the middle and late rounds off until he came on in the 11th.
Not saying its anywhere near as shady as the Martinez fight, but Funeka deserved to win this.
This was similar to Klitschko/Peter. Yeah there were some knockdowns but Wlad won most of the rounds.

i thought Funeka had it by one point, it's pretty upsetting, if Funeka tightens his defense up a little he would be close to unstoppable. Ali Funeka is very talented and I was impressed. Does anyone else think this is a preview of what Williams-Wright might look like?
