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

[BoomBoom]

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.

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

[BoomBoom]

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.

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.

[BoomBoom]

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.

what the hell is the matter with nate, guzman does this to him now his doing it to ali. Damn the title is no longer at stake, this is bullshit Ali is going to k'o nate anyways not they have this his drain excuse.

[killersheep]

Wow so if Campbell wins the IBF and WBO titles go vacant. In the Lightweight division there is going to be a lot of confusion (more than usual). Because the tournament coming up will undoubtedly have a few eliminators involved.

So he definily hasnt lost the 3 pounds in 2 hours?

[Youngblood]

If he couldn`t shake that, then he likely was already drained down and had nothing more to give up. No water left you aren`t gonna lose anything else.

[BoomBoom]

Kinda reminds me of when Castillo faile to make weight vs. Corrales and then in Corrales next fight he comes in heavy. It is bad when these things happen. Nate has took a lot of pride in being lightweight champion and im surprised by this, but its clear that with his age and recent inactivity, he needs to go up to light welterweight. It sucks thought cause his titles were all the leverage he had to make a big fight as he was the lightweight king imo. Maybe if he beats Funeka, then hell still be able to put something toghether. This is a bad night for Nate Campbell though.

He only lost a half a pound in the two hours. Its done, he just lost his titles like that.

yea man exactly what i had in mind too, just like chico.

I've been trying to hype up Ali cause i think he has a big chance of beating nate but now its ruin because nate comes in heavy. Whoever wins does not get that much credit because of this situation plus no title.

people will say;

if nate wins, because he came heavy.

if ali wins, because nate was drain.

fuck. so dissapointing.
