Comments Thread For: Weights Part 2: Joan Guzman 148.2, Ali Funeka 143.2

Guzman has to be one of the most reluctant fighters in history. WTF is he doing with his career?

[SN!PER]

Funeka, time to finish the job you started 4 months ago. Do us a favor and murder Guzman.

Lee beard has got alot to answer 4 here....lost all patience with guzman, the last straw this 1, HOW did he weigh in that heavy...more importantly WHY!

How the **** can this be for the lightweight title?!

Guzman shouldn't be allowd to box.

Guzman trained in England with Lee Beard to get away from the distractions in NYC. According to reports he was also working with the well known nutrititionist (can't remember his name) over there to get him down to the proper weight. This does not look good for Guzman.

Earlier this morning, the fighters weighed in for a second time in the last 24-hours, and after several stumbling blocks - we have a fight. Later tonight at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, Ali Funeka (30-2-3, 25 KOs) and Joan Guzman (29-0-1, 17 KOs) will do battle in a rematch for the vacant IBF lightweight title. Guzman weighed in at 148.2-pounds and Funeka was 143.2. [Click Here To Read More]

Along with all of the other things wrong with this fight, no way should Funeka be at risk of losing his title. This should be a non title fight. It makes no sense for the lightweight title to be involved in any way. Along with the fact that Guzman's weight limit was 150 and Funeka's 145, none of this makes any sense. It seems like everything is stacked in Guzman's favor. The additional 20,000 they gave to Funeka is not worth it IMO. I hope Guzman gets knocked cold in this one.

Guzman is a unprofessional Diva, who should not get a decent fight after this.

I remember Hugo Cazarez shredding 20 pounds in 10 days to make the 108 limit, and have the second Calderon fight a title one. Thats a professional


**** Guzman, I hope Funeka puts him to sleep

The title is on the line only for FUneka

[BS-BScene]

no wonder pacquiao avoided guzman

The point is, it shouldn't be. Why should his title be on the line fighting a guy that came in at 148?
