Boxing: Guzman-Funeka is on
He is reported to be weighing in 9 pounds over the limit at 144 pounds. Funeka made the weight at 135.
The fight is still on though but the title is not on the line for Guzman but if Funeka wins, he takes the title home.
What a joke. Guzman does it again. :mad:
At this point I gotta think Guzman is just there for a checkQuote:

That is just disgusting and grossly disrespectful. I hope Funeka keeps it together does just what he did last time out. Lee Beard obviously worked wonders with Guzman! :rolleyes:
In my oppinion this is the sign of a person who is just so unperfessional that they should be banned at fighting at this level. Funeka is a consummate pro. He has allowed weight issues of his opponants to screw him before and I applaud him for not scrubbing the fight. I think Guzman should be fined into bankrupcy and I am holding on to the wish that Funeka sparks this disrespectful prick. Take note. Here is the pick when they announced the weight... This look like a guy that feels bad or is ashamed of his inability to adhere to the rules of his trade?

Hold on...
How did he get past the weight testing?
Is it only the WBC who makes sure that people are on weight? What about the fact that this is his second time doing this in a championship fight?
Please... and who promotes this clown??? I dare not say...
They need to ban him from boxing, after levying a hefty fine--part of which should go to Funeka.
Funeka should win the title on merit... they are turning him into another Nate Campbell. Who will step up to fight him next?
How does the weight testing work? Is it a certain percentage a week before? A month?Quote:

Guzman can't weigh more than 150 lbs. when they weigh in tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. If Funeka defeats Guzman, he can still win the IBF belt.

So he should have been 141 and 3/4, a week ago.Quote:

I hope Guzman gets sparked by Funeka also. That motherfukker thinks he's fighting at HW where he can just come in at any weight? Fukk him.
