Been watching clips of him and I finally realize who he reminds me of...
The late great Chico Corrales.
Im becoming a big fan of Ali, I hope he continues up the ranks. This guy has good power and i think he even has quicker hands then chico.
What you guys think of him?
I'm not familiar with him, do you have any clips?
thanks for the respond, it seems like nobody here knows much about him. His known as the guy who knock zahir raheem the xxxx out.Quote:

Found a couple of clips, I'll certainly watch out for him in the future cheers for the heads up Julius.
Looks huge for a lightweight

Nate will expose him.
Based on the clips I saw from his fight with Amidu I would agreeQuote:

I think his tall awkward style while give Nate problems. But having seen very little of Funeka I have to favor Nate to outwork him...
Judging by that Zahir fight, he looks like a pretty conventional, technically sound fighter to me. I have to favor Nate as well, but Funeka does look big and dangerous. Should be a good fight!Quote:

I can see ali taking over 135 in the near future.
I think Funeka is very capable but aside of Raheem he hasn't fought anyone at the level of Campbell! The layoff due to the Guzman cancelation & the fact that Nate has never been mister consistant may make things interesting but I think The Galaxxy Warrior has worked to hard to get where he is... he hass Marquez & Barrera in his sights I he don't want to let that slip away without a fight. Could make for an outstanding fight!!! But I think Campbell grinds Funeka down & wins a close tough fight, possibly even by later stoppage!
Shitty luck for Campbell, he doesn't get Guzman or JMM, then he gets a rough mandatory. No breaks for Nate. Funeka won't get him alot of recognition, and he is a tough big lightweight. Should be a very good fight.
Also, are they showing the whole card on hbo? That card has Campbell-Funeka, Martinez-Cintron, and Angulo-Mayorga. That is a damn good card.
exactly nate is inconsistent, i really think ali is going to take him out. Sure Ali only fought and beat one named oppenent and that was raheem. Who has nate beaten lately? Juan Diaz? thats it. We all love how nate dominated him but people should not overlook ali and overhype nate by that single win over juan diaz.Quote:

I agree. Nate has been very unlucky recently. Now he is forced to defend his belts against a younger, taller, awkward opponent. And so what if he wins? Does it put him in a better bargaining position for other fights? Probably not.Quote:

Nate has the experience, desire, and talent to beat Funeka, but it should be a rough one.
And the card is bananas.
That is an amazing card I wonder how much they will charge. :pQuote:

Your right VD, I think Rains is over rating Funeka a little.Quote:

Its not a matter of who Nate has beat lately its a matter of who he fought! Diaz, Quiles, Zegan, Hlatshwayo, Raiymkulov, Lorenzo, Peden, Martinez, Attah, Casamayor, Alicea & Navarro.
Funeka's biggest opponent besides Raheem was Fana in which he lost!
Maybe I am overrating him but i really think his going to ko campbell. Clearly Nate has had the superior resume, but imo his in for a suprise against a fighter with speed and power. Juan Diaz had zero power.Quote:

At most I think I've seen 3-4 fights of Ali, my boy put together a highlight vid of him. His impressive and IMO will make some noise in the 135 division.
I was actually thinking, ali vs jmm, ali vs pac would be matches I'd like to see. Ali towers over the 135 fighters and he'll surely cause problem with his speed and power. Like i said he reminds me of chico and now im starting to think his a paul williams at the 135 division....ok i am overrating him a bit, but im sure his going to prove me right.
