I Hate To Say This But My Boy Joan Guzman Did Get Battered.

[ICB]

Im a big fan of Joan Guzman but he is a very frustrating fighter, to be a fan of. But no doubt he is incredibly skilled, i personally didn't see the fight but from all articles im reading, it seems Ali Funeka was robbed. But everyone said that about the Nate Campbell fight, and i thought that was a draw personally. So can anyone fill me in ? cheers.

Big robbery mate, go look at my rbr in the main Bute/Andrade thread at the top.

I had it 117-112 Funeka, basically last six round Funeka dominated him while Guzman becmae very tired.

Onle look at Joan's face will tell the true story. He looked like a cheese and susage pizza after that beat down. I had it 117-111. I love Canadainia boxing, but they need to exclude their own Referees officials from participating.

It was a fairly disgusting result and an embarrassment. Gotta feel for Funeka to put that kind of performance on and get robbed. And that is what it was. He not only dominated, but kept his strength and accumulated round after round as the wear and tear on Guzman became ever more obvious. No way should it have been any where close to a draw. Disgusting. Disappointing. And a sad testimony to the state of officiating in boxing.

Cheers guys i think Joan Guzman is a wasted talent, and because he's style is mostly reflexes and speed. He could very well be past his prime already, which is a shame because i am a fan of his.

As for Ali Funeka i think he's a solid fighter, but IMO he just doesn't seem to be quite up there with the top fighters. He's like the Joshua Clottey of the Lightweights, he could trouble anyone but i just think over the years your going to be seeing alot of "Ali Funeka just misses out".

he seems to be one of the worst finishers in the game

and to answer the question...its a resounding YES!!!

He's suppose to be this, that and everything in between but in the end. He got Humberto Sotto and Jorge Barrios as his best wins. He can pick himself up by dedicating more to his job.


JMM only has Manuel Medina and Derrick Gainer at age 32. Guzman will falter if he doesnt act properly. PBF, Hopkins, Pac all stays in shape in between fights. Guzman should do the same if he wants to still fight at the big stages.

yeah, I could remember the time when you were like promoting him here and I thought you were Joan himself.

Remember the time when you were passionately telling the people here that he would dominate Pac and that Pac has no chance against him and that Pac is ducking him ( somewhat to that statement, I can't remember all the things you've said about that man). I must admit he seems to have a potential so i will agree that he's a waste of a talent.

I had it 120-119 Guzman.

Thats crap and you know it, i never ever said he would dominate Manny Pacquiao or that Manny Pacquiao was ducking him. And i rarely talked about Joan Guzman, the only time i spoke about him was when he was brought up as possible opponent for Manny Pacquiao.

Just because my boy didn't look great, theres no need to say all of what you said. Because i clearly never talked about him much, nor did i overrate him quite like what your making out.

I remember saying he would be a very good opponent, for Manny Pacquiao which he would of been at the lower weightclasses. And he clearly is a talented fighter, its just he's wasted too much of his career and clearly the opponent he was fighting.

Was a freak of nature being over 6 foot and a Lightweight, i don't think anyone in boxing today would look good against Ali Funeka. And what makes me laugh Bruce is that people call you a troll on here, and you constantly hype up Manny Pacquiao like your on his payroll. Yet you say im the one that was constantly hyping up Joan Guzman which is total nonsense.

ali funeka definitely got robbed! those judges should just shoot themselves because they did funeka a great injustice.! guzman is a great fighter but funeka was clearly the superior boxer last night. he should get another chance immediately to win the title that was stolen from him last night.

[Gandalf]

It was the robbery of the year. I had Funeka winning by several rounds. Not even close.

[Pavlik]

I think Guzman was cocky to showboat in the midst of eating jabs and straights the whole night. I think he should fight Juan Diaz since their both beneficiaries of robberies

[milmascaras1]

not to mention rodel mayol. what that cheat did was fooking criminal and as soon as giovanni segura knocks his ass out, he should be banned from boxing!
