Either way it's appaling and cringeworthy, ideally Funeka would get paid without having to step into the ring, but obviously that wasn't going to happen. You've got to feel for the guy here, he doesn't have the name and needs this fight to further establish himself, but Guzman is royally screwing him over even if he's only looking to get paid. Funeka has one of the biggest frames I've ever seen on a lightweight, it looks like he hasn't eaten in weeks... And what if Joan is indeed the fresher fighter and pulls it out this time? He doesn't deserve to fight anyone worth a dime ever again, a 3rd fight would be a further embaressment. What the hell went on in Guzmans camp is the other thing I'm wondering? Lee Beard has basically disgraced himself entirely as well, who the hell is going to work with either of these guys again?
    Good points. It's a horribly screwed up situation and the one getting royally screwed however you look at it is Funeka. If he's wants to get paid after training for a good 2 months, then he has got to fight. It really isn't fair though and the commisions need to do something about Guzman as it isn't the first time he has had issues with weight.

    As for Beard, I thought exactly the same thing. People have been saying positive things about Beard, but I had a hard time buying into any of it. And here he is with a fighter having come in two weight classes heavy. It's disgusting really.

    Truly disgusting, it would be hard to come up with a less honorable and more cowardly act.
