Guzman seriously overweight for Funeka bout.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

How does the weight testing work? Is it a certain percentage a week before? A month?

30 days and 7 days... Section 4.6 of the WBC rules. They must be no more than 10% over and 5% over, respectively.

So he should have been 141 and 3/4, a week ago.

Which if he got by that then he's just an asshole!

[generalbulldog]

I hope Guzman gets sparked by Funeka also. That motherfukker thinks he's fighting at HW where he can just come in at any weight? Fukk him.

[TigerFan]

I can understand missing the weight by a pound or two but nine That shit was intentional...I hope Funeka beats his ass again.

Exactly. It's not even missing a division, it's almost two weight classes up! He has gone and done a Mayweather, but taken it even further! The man doesn't deserve a payday for this. Training and making weight is part of the job and if you can't do it then you shouldn't be paid!

I have nothing to say for this but I don't think people have to hope Funeka beats his ass, it's pretty much going to happen as obviously Guzman does not give a fuck here.

[CFH]

That piece of shit is the biggest waste of talent in the sport today. I hope Funeka ends his career (well, that's hyperbole and I think his career is pretty much over anyways, but this shit pisses me off). What a fucking hack.

I'm surprised Funeka agreed to go on with the fight.

[Hulk]

I don't think he CAN make the weight anymore guys.

Just like Castillo and Gatti got to where they couldn't make their weight divisions anymore as they got older.

Still Guzman knew damn well he couldn't make it and still went thru with the fight and came in 9 lbs over.

After this fight his career is most likely over.

What a waste of talent too, anyone who saw his dominant win over Humberto Soto a few years back knows that Guzman had all the talent in the world.

So do you think Guzman will have an advantage and be stronger than Funeka now, or will he just be slower . Will the 9 pounds work for him or against him?

[TheMacMagician]

This is an absolute joke and Guzman doesn't deserve the honour of stepping into a ring for a world title fight. I'm gonna be absolutely rooting for Funeka to wipe that damn smile off his face. Someone should also wipe that f**ckin smirk off of Lee Beards face too. He looks like he knew also. Idiot.

In addition, it appears that Guzman is being fined between $20,000-to-$25,000 from his purse, with the money going to Funeka.

"But according to a source, both fighters will be weighed in at 7 a.m. on Saturday with the stipulation that the fight will commence if Guzman weighs in at 150 or below, and Funeka, at 145 or below."

Feom the above article, There is something I don't quite understand or maybe reading it wrong. To me it seems that Funeka has to weigh in 145 or below and Guzman has to weight 150 or below. I'm confused as something about that doesn't seem to add up. Why should there be a weight restriction like that on Funeka??

Right, that just sounds weird. What is the reasoning behind that? Funeka made the weight, so now he should be able to rehydrate to whatever weight he wants. I so hope Funeka is able to do a number on this cheating little bugger.

I know, I just don't understand how that weight rule can be implemented. Somethin ain't right about that for sure. Maybe it's written wrong.

I can only assume it was something they negotiated yesterday. Why Funeka would agre to that when he clearly had the upper hand in discussions is beyond me.

[OumaFan]

That's embarrassing. I was a fan, and even was willing to give him a pass for the Nate thing but this is just absurd, go Funeka. Guzman makes Jones Toney look like an overachiever.
