    The fight was very close Nate ate lot's of leather check his face but I agreed two knockdowns very difficult to overcome is like winning 4 rounds looking into Nate's future at 140 counting his age don't look too promise.

    Campbell swept the first 3 rds, than he swept the last 3, Lederman can't score for ****, This fight was basicly one guy being more accurate and landing far heavier shots vs a younger cat who was much busier in there. Nate took the fight in the 10th, no way Funeka won that rd, Nate than dominated the last 2 rds. Some of the middle rds specificly the 8th could've gone to campbell, Funeka at best split 6 rds with campbell, he clearly lost rds 1,3,10, and 12 add the 2 big rds and the ONLY way Funeka could've won would be to get Campbell down on his ass a few times.

    My Scorecard
    1. Campbell 10-9
    2. Campbell 20-17
    3. Campbell 30-26
    4. Funeka 39-36
    5. Funeka 48-46
    6. Funeka 57-56
    7. Funeka 66-66
    8. Funeka (close) 75-76
    9. Funeka 84-86
    10. Campbell 94-95
    11. Campbell 104-103
    12. Campbell 114-112

    Nate was landing the harder shots and more apparent shots, I can understand someone giving Funeka those rounds but Funeka had a very good work rate in those rounds but I thought Nate landed the clearer and cleaner shots.

    Yes Nate was landing the cleaner and harder shots but Funeka's work rate tipped those rds in his favor, rds 8 and 9 were close, and unlike the majority of the posters here I agree Nate clearly won rd 10, he dug in and landed plenty of hard leather in that rd, 114-112 Campbell is what I had.

    I had Funeka up 114-113. Though a Draw would be in order. My Problem has more to do with the scorecard that some how suggested that even without the 2nd KD that Campbell would have still won the fight.


    1. Campbell 10-9
    2. Campbell 10-8
    3. Even 10-10
    4. Funeka 10-9
    5. Funeka 10-9
    6. Funeka 10-9
    7. Funeka 10-9
    8. Funeka 10-9
    9. Funeka 10-9
    10. Funeka 10-9
    11. Campbell 10-8
    12 Campbell 10-9

    Nah that was no robbery . . . I picked Funeka by UD . . . BUT it's a close battle . . . I had it 113 -113 . . . and the 1 or 2 rounds swing by the two judges is not impossible or questionable.

    If only Funeka and his team used their heads and reacted swiftly on the last two rounds . . . Funeka should have won. They ****i'n knew that Nate will go all out on a war path after losing consetive rounds . . . they should have advised their guy to continue boxing from the outside and avoid close battle. :deal

    My score card:
    1 - Nate (10-9)
    2 - Nate (10-8)
    3 - Fuenka (10-9)
    4 - Funeka (10-9)
    5 - Funeka (10-9)
    6 - Funeka (10-9)
    7 - Funeka (10-9)
    8 - Funeka (10-9)
    9 - Funeka (10-9)
    10 - Nate (10-9)
    11 - Nate (10-8)
    12 - Nate (10-9)

    Total 113-113

    :rofl You then gave him the 3rd so it would be a draw, dude he lost fair and square, If campbell didn't shake him up he would've had a shot but he lost.

    Point taken on the height differential.....but I'm not basing Campbell's ability to box from a distance just on this fight.....

    Campbell did'nt beat Diaz by fighting at a distance, he beat him by going to the body and fighting on the inside.
    Campbell was physically stronger than Diaz, and Diaz did'nt have the outside game to nullify Campbell's strenghth factor.
    .....both JMM and Pac fight alot better from a distance than does Diaz, and thats what I'm basing my opinion on.

    I have seen nothing from Nate in either his fight with Diaz or this fight with Funeka that will lead me to believe he can compete with JMM boxing wise, or Pacquiao's speed and punching power.

    Campbell imo gets easily rolled by both Marquez and Pacquiao.

    I had it 113:113 but I would not mind 115:113 or 114:113 for Funeka. The official scoring was horrible, especially the nut that scored it 115:111 for Campbell. That guy must check his eyes ASAP. Funeka deserved the belts. Campbell was tired as hell. And he did not have to strugle to make the weight.

    By the way, the whole night judging was horrible. Martinez clearly won his fight with Cintron. Without a doubt one of worst officiating I have ever seen.
