Comments Thread For: Last Chance For Guzman To Leave Lasting Impresssion

[PensionKiller]

guzman already demonstrated in the first fight that he can manage to Funeka ... the only thing that changed the fate of that fight was his lack of mobility, the product of 11 months (actually 25 months because Ameth Diaz, was not a challenge for Guzman) that Guzman had no fight. This lack of movement and also, neglect, made it impossible to create a good defense for the right hand he broke his nose. And then in the fourth round, he received the head butts caused the right eye went blind that set the stage for Funeka land his left jab at will.

Guzman is not a fighter power, and if he could not get in the ring with his usual agility and awareness of the ring, always will be exposed against a good opponent, which is not faced since 2007.

Funeka is the most difficult opponent for any 135-140 pounds, but in the first fight showed that he lacked punch and instinct to finish with a very wounded Guzman apartir the 8th round. Also, it is heavily weighted to throw his punches allowing Guzman to anticipate and therefore avoided using the hands (before the head butt), without using the shoulders or body ... Friends, that's too much! Believe it, I'm sure that what I've seen, it also saw Guzman's team and this time it exploded.

Naturally, the above do not think that will be an easy fight, or that Guzman will win easy ... Funeka is strong and will spend the entire fight looking to Guzman and if found will hurt him. But this time it will be harder hitting and so I think Guzman will win, by close UD.

Good post.

Yes I have seen Guzman hungry, even willing to train in the UK, and I agree that it will be a better fight, but I also feel that Guzman has caught up with his age and weight class. Funeka will win in my eyes, in a close fight again

Funeka owed Guzman is their first fight, he should have got the decision. Maybe Guzman will come out fighting properly second time around, which will make this fight a action packed event

I hope funeka wins this fight due to him being flat out robbed in their first scrap

Look at the first 2 rounds, Funeka was htting air even though he was throwing the same jab (and constantly doubling up). I watch the first 7 rounds and I don't see the land slide everyone talks about, those rounds were close.

Funeka really piled it on after he hurt Guzman in the 8th, but even that round he was winning. Watching the HBO version and a normal version really tells you how much announcers can influence viewers opinion on a fight.
