Comments Thread For: Funeka vs Reyes Likely Heading To a Purse Bid

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It appears that Ali Funeka vs. Rolando Reyes will likely head to a purse bid on January 26. Funeka-Reyes will have the vacant IBF lightweight title at stake. Promoter Gary Shaw had a deal on the table for Funeka-Reyes to take place as the Showtime co-feature to Edwin Valero-Antonio DeMarco on February 6 - but there was miscommunication with Funeka's manager, Butityi Konki, who is pressing for the fight to take place in South Africa.

Funeka was robbed in the Guzman fight he should be champ already
Anyone know if Guzman has a fight lined up?

i thought funeka beat nate and he definitely won the guzman fight. his promoter should make sure the judges aren't going to ass **** his fighter again or tell funeka to start knocking guys out.

Man, that Funeka is a good fighter, and his last fight was total BS because he did win that - but this guy should NOT be fighting at such a light weight class, look at the gaunt on his face! That's just not right, this guy is gonna have some major problems with his kidneys, what the hell is the point of commissions if they aren't up on this?

you're right, he is definitely drained and would fight a lot stronger at a higher weight class. seems that he was unable to stop Guzman because he was powerless due to dehydration
