    And he got a gift decision from some corrupt judges that Funeka worked very hard for and earned yet got a draw.

    Guzman has a 9lb advantage (or maybe just flab but it didn't look like that) but the odds have not come in.......either the bookies are slow or it will make no difference

    I still expect Funeka to do him over again.

    The bookies should do odds on the chance of Funeka beating Guzman for 12 rounds yet still not getting the decision.

    Fight could be off again lads. IBF cannot guarantee Funeka's ranking if he loses tomorrow night.

    For ****s sake!

    Shouldn't Funeka be able to fight if he wants too?

    Also looked at a version of this thread over in the general and thank **** we have the British forum to read, I can't manage more than a few pages at a time over there so much hate and general stupidity.

    Yep it's up to Ali,Shaw said but there not happy with IBF and Hbo have promised to not hold a loss against Ali if he does lose tomorrow. Shaw wants Funeka made interim champion.

    HBO feeling guilty about the draw last fight? :think

    Do you think Funeka should have the fight? I mean it would be a chance to set the record straight too, but its a dangerous fight still.

    The way the first fight went i'd fancy Funeka still but then i think about Castillo against Corrales II the weight difference really did show. It's dangerous but Funeka may need the money and also may feel he will put sufficient weight on himself and be ok.

    It's a really tough call...i hope he takes it...i think he will be ok..i hope.

    Any money Funeka would of got Guzman should be fined and given to Funeka. This wasn't even a lack of professionalism, it was a deliberate attempt to get out of the fight again. So a fine would be even more appropriate. Yes I'd pick Funeka over Guzman I don't think the weight disadvantage will impact Funeka to much as his height advantage is much more of an impact I feel.

    Yeah Spot-on.

    Last time he bashed him rotten and i think he can do the same as long as he's focused on job. Which i think he will be.

    I guess you can look at it either way, he'll have the extra weight but how hard has he trained?

    :good Hopefully they do get it on!

    I still can't pick between Abraham/Dirrel going to be an intresting fight.

    Anyway I'm off for tonight.
