Won't be online tonight as don't want to find out the result and will download the fights tomorrow. If ICB sees this, please hook me up with a PM tomorrow buddy. All the rep I can give if you do.

As for tonights fights...

Nate Campbell vs. Ali Funeka
Thinking about this one over the last few weeks and to me, it seemed as if Nate was looking at this as a fight he just wanted to get out of the way so he could go after the bigger paydays. Funeka looks decent though, as we saw in his last fight. Raheem is no mug, and Funeka made him look poor. Nate couldn't really be looking past a fighter who is so hungry to make a name for himself and who has power in both hands. We know now he loses his belts no matter what, but Nate can blow hot and cold and I don't think he'll be up for it after last nights disappointment, so tonight I fancy the upset and I think Funeka will take the belts home.

Sergio Martinez vs. Kermit Cintron
I'm going with Martinez by KO in about 7. He's more comfortable at the weight and he's on a roll. Think he'll need to weather the early storm from Cintron, who I think will take the early rounds, then come on and dishearten Cintron with his own poerful shots.

Alfredo Angulo vs. Cosme Rivera
Angulo may get some rounds tonight. Difficult for him having 2 changes of opponent so close to fight time, especially when he was originally trying to prepare for a slugger like Mayorga. I see this as a decent learning fight that Angulo will use to get some rounds in the bank before dispatching Rivera in 6.

No goody goodies this time Mick? Tired of freeloaders not bringing anything?

**SaltyBacon** · 02-14-2009 05:34 PM

cintron ko
angulo ud

dont know about campell and funeka
funeka is a complete mystery to me but saw his ko on raheem brutal
and he is undeafeated at 135

dont if campell is burned out or maybe mentally drained cause he might not have his bigh fights cause of not makin weight but cant wait to see
right now i chose funeka even though i have never seen him fight
he has alot of momentum

Im thinkin I may go sleep & wake up for it.

I'm thinking Nate UD, Cintron KO & Angulo easy KO

Trying to piece this one back together,with Angulo having multiple opponents and Nates loss of belts on the scale.Something tells me he made a concious call and did not want to drain down too badly,put belts secondary?

Should still be good card.Martinez vs.Cintron might turn out to be a show stealer.Angulo should get some good work but the longer it goes,Stubborn Riveras chances to make him look bad increase.Angulo is still very young in career and needs to forget all of the drama,get down to buisness tonight.Im hoping Campbell has not fallen into one of his 'night & day' mind sets,or looking past Funeka.
