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

[skel1983]

I thought it was an unlucky draw for Funeka. But judging on a round-by-round basis Guzman has claims to round -

1, 2, 4, 7 and 12 with 3 and 11 even.

So that means 115-115 is a gettable score.

Did Funeka LOOK the winner? Yes. Did he actually convincingly dominate these rounds? No.

Unlucky.. but that's boxing.

I can see what your saying there mate, there was a few close rounds I agree, It was Guzman throwing and being more aggressive but I thought the cleaner and more damaging blows were from Funeka.


I also agree with Lyle I think the damage to his nose especially did hamper him badly, I think it was a mistake to fight a guy like this in a 12 rounder after being out so long, he needed a warm up if you ask me.

Here's one that's a little better than the one on youtube.

Yea looks like Guzman got lucky one this one but Ali did miss a lot of punches.

[Nameless]

It was the hell of a dubious decision and I wonder how the judges could see it.

[Pavlik]

This fight was robbery at it's finest, Guzman was outboxed outslugged outeverything.

[Spicoli]

This fight was not close.Guzman was fighting like a one gear slugger and was nearly getting hit at will as it wore on.Christmas,Hanukkah and Kwanzaa all wrapped into one for Guzman.

I thought this was a pretty good read on the fight:

Boxing News - BRC - Guzman vs Funeka star in: "Enough already with bogus decisions"... by Frank Gonzalez

"And its not just Canadian Judges or American or German Judges. It’s the same business all over the world. There are a lot of good things about boxing but there is a lot wrong with the crooked way it is administered. There’s nothing encouraging about following a sport that you can’t trust for honest competition and officiating. If anyone is hurting boxing, it’s all these crooked Official Judges. Send letters or emails to the IBF and let them know that we do not approve of the crooked decision that saw Funeka robbed of his victory. We all know boxing is more business than sport but good businesses do well because they build a good client base. Bad businesses ultimately fail because no one wants to buy what they’re selling. Pro Boxing only exists because of us—the fans who keep them in business. They know that. Enough is enough already! The head of the IBF should overturn this hideous result immediately. It’s garbage like this—that’s killing the legitimacy of boxing."

Very bad robbery . Can someone think of one worst than that this year? Cause I can't

[josef4334]

gotta be one of the worst this year. funeka and guzman fought on what was that of as a neutral ground and funeka got robbed. i could understand the malinaggi diaz fight coz it was in houston. i think funeka made guzman look foolish last night. guzman trying to showboat and getting tagged is a highlight of that fight. i think funeka is a good fighter.. a fine one at that. but he needs how to finish. he's got guzman staggerring around and could not hit him after that.

[gest12645]

Maliggnagi vs Diaz wasnt a robbery. It was a close fight but people aare overeggagerating the outcome . It could have gone either way. But i wont get off topic. Funika shouldnt even take a rematch, he won the fight in everyone's eyes except a couple blind or bribed judges.

[milmascaras1]

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!
