Guzman seriously overweight for Funeka bout.

[killersheep]

Clearly Funeka needs to weigh under 145 to fight for the IBF belt, they are allowing Guzman to go over because he can no longer fight for it.

If Funeka weighed over 145 the fight could still happen (I guess) but Funeka would forfeit the right to fight for a world title as well.

It's not that unfair to Funeka, it's just he's obviously still trying to fight in accordance with the rules for the right to win the belt, whereas Guzman obviously doesn't give a fuck.

It will be interesting to see if Funeka does weigh under the limit or if he comes in heavy and gives up the title opportunity to enhance his winning chances against a much heavier and cheating opponent.

What are you talking about? Funeka made weight at 135 yesterday.

That's what I would figure. I've never heard of a sanctioning body having a restriction on what a fighter can rehydrate to for the unofficial weight in order to still fight for the belt..

Especially if they weren't checking weight before the fight at 7 and 30 days.

I am a fan of Joan Guzman but it is really hard too root for him, when crap like this keeps happening. I am still rooting for him though like Fenster will be.
