    Default Nate 3 lbs heavy! Has 2 hours to lose it. UPDATE: Campbell Loses Titles On Scale!!

    He weighed in at 138. Funeka weighed in at under the limit at 133.5 2 hours to lose 3 pounds is do-able but that means hell likely have to hit a sauna which is never good. Im surprised Nate wasnt 135 the first try, but these things happen, im sure hell make the weight.


    UPDATE: He came back after two hours and weighed in at 137.5! Very disappointing new. I honestly would never have expected this. The fight will go on but only Funeka can claim the titles.

    Not good, definately not good for Campbell. Funeka was an equal challenge to begin with IMO, this puts him as a slight favorite.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    He has 2 hours before weigh in is closed, or before the fight?

    Before the weigh-in is closed. As it is, Nate could easily be up to 145 by fight time. Ali wont look like the bigger guy tommorow, only in height imo.

    Does this mean Nate will be a tad weight drained come fight night? That gives Funeka his best chance.

    Ah ok, that isn't too bad then. I had to cut once as weigh in was same morning as fight, screwed up my weight and had to if wanted it. Sauna'd and spit cup it down and it was terrible. Felt like a dream and had zero energy, not to mention was dangerous. Won't ever again. And these guys will be hitting a lot harder then anything i've ever known.

    Yeah its never good when a fighter has to cut weight in a short amount of time. The body needs time to rehydrate. I think hell be ok losing 3 pounds in 2 hours but it really depends one what his state is right now. He could have busted his ass already to get to the 138 or he may just need to take a good sh@t and hell be fine. If he does need to use a sauna to sweat it out, that would be most dangerous. When your weight drained you dont take punches as well and its dangerous cause you dont have the enough of the fluid needed to protect you brain....this isnt a good thing for Nate. I think hell be ok though come tommorow, hopefully.

    I dont think that Funeka is an even challenge tbh. Nate been fighting at this level for a long time and almost always does well, with the exception of the Peden fights. Ali beat Raheem and thats about it. The only other decent fighters he fought he barely beat, didnt beat, or drew with. Hes not on Nates level, plain and simple. His record is decieving. Although he does have a punchers chance, Nate is too clever and experienced. Nate should handle this guy and stop him in the middle rounds. I really cant see Funeka coming out with the win, no way.
