The Official Ali Funeka beat Nate Campbell thread

[BMWM3P]

I had it 8-4 for Funeka. Theres no way Nate Campbell won more than 5 rounds imo. 2 of those rounds were the knockdown rounds and 3 other ones are pick em. Even the rounds Nate won, those were not clear cut wins. Anyways just because you knock a guy down dosent mean you should win the fight.

In case you didn't know 8-4 with two knockdowns is a draw. Funeka won a lot of rounds, but he was dropped twice and it was a close fight that could've gone either way. It should have been a draw but Nate winning the fight is in no way a robbery.

8-4 Funeka is the only way that fight can be scored. Every round was pretty much crystal clear one way or the other.

Oh really then? I guess my 6-6 score is nonsense.

I had it 7-5 Funeka (a draw), but....I scored round 10 for campbell which I had a feeling might have been a mistake. I was impressed with campbell's body work, but funeka landed some pretty good shots.

No mistake, warp. Campbell won all of the Championship rounds by sheer determination.

It was a close fight. Campbell scoring at the start and finish, Funeka in the middle rounds.

I could be wrong, but I thought I heard someone from Funeka's corner (off-camera) say to him in English right after the fight something like, "It's close because of the two knock downs." (But it might not have been them because they were talking in their native language during the fight.)

Martinez beat Cintron. If there had to be draw tonight, it should have been Nate vs. Ali not the fight before.

The one thing that proved to be true was after all the drama before the fight (opponents withdrawing, weight issues, finding a venue, etc.) people were saying something crazy could happen tonight. I think the weird phantom-headbutt-the-fight-is-over-no-it-isn't moment and the draw were the crazy moments that solidified a card some might say was cursed.

I agree that Campbell won, but how is 8-4 a draw? 116-112, with two points deducted for KDs is 114-112.

Campbell landed more often, hurt Funeka, and dropped him twice. If you think Funeka won that fight thank god you're not judging boxing matches. Either looked at as a whole (Campbell landed more often and more telling blows) or round by round Campbell took a close fight. Every reputable boxing site out there had Campbell winning by about the same scores as well as the 2 judges. 115-113 114-112.

And all this bullcrap about a Valentine's Day Masacre, whoever wrote that article, you're an idiot. There were bad things afoot in the Cintron Martinez fight, yes but that's about it.

It's funny the one who are insisting that Funeka won here are Mexicans. That's why Mexicans are getting bad Karma because of this ****** fans who disses every fighters like Williams, Pacquiao, Mosley, Darchinyan and Campbell who destroyed all the Mexicans

Just because Juan Diaz got exposed by an old man, they turned their hate on Campbell. They should pray that Diaz could avenge his loss, not continuing his career with a humiliation loss against Campbell.

Cant some mexican fans get over Juan diaz losing to Nate campbell??? They all seem to be the ones that scored the fight for Funeka....seem strange, Maybe its a coincidence..

Two poster above have hit the nail on the head

campbell did not win it was a draw but without a doubt a fresher campbell would have knocked him clean out, funika was lucky not to be sparked out even against a below par nate, but a draw he did earn last night
