Campbell vs. Funeka

Very good fight. Funeka is a lanky, strong knockout artist, could be the nightmare of the division. He easily got rid of Raheem, which was quite a shocker, and looked very good doing it. But it's hard to predict based on a single fight, and that's the only one I've seen. Campbell is a expericenced, skilled, crafty punching machine, slips punches well and very good making it an inside fight, which could be the key here. Also, speed, stamina, punch output is there. Campbell UD is the most logical choice, but there's unpredictability written all over this one. How well can Nate adapt to the tall, hard punching opponent? How will he look after a long lay-off almost at 37? Can Funeka bring his goods to the top level?

It could be a very crowd pleasing fight, that is what I'm rooting for. BTW... does anyone know how old Funeka is?

 

Campbell takes this one. he's come to far too let it slip away to a virtual unknown like Funeka

All you need to know if you look at the diference between his 2 defeats.

 

Didn't England have a friendly these days like the other teams?

 

We're playing Spain, kicks-off in 5 minutes.

 

Good friendly.You know the last ones to beat them are us in a friendly:yep.1-0 goal by Marica.
Marica scored to day aswell but the croatians just got our defensive mistakes figured out.2-1 we lost just minutes ago.We played quite good.I hope we **** the serbs in march:yep

 

campbell ud

 

Its hard to decide logically not seeing much about funeka....
The only fight I saw was rahim..

but i want campbell to win!

pac vs campbell!!!!

! Nah! people (haters) will say Campbell is shot if he fights Pac!

 

I've been thinking about this one alot, and my final verdict is Campbell TKO 6. Funeka's got the size advantage and is a puncher who throws alot, but I think Nate's going to find too many openings and take care of business by the middle rounds.

 

The guy is virtually unknown but he is a very dangerous fighter. I've read a lot of articles on other websites that say's it's a very dangerous fight for Nate because Funeka can both box and exchange and has a big height advantage. Speed and accuracy is just about even. The long layoff is almost even too . . . Campbell's last fight is March 8, 08 . . . Funeka's last fight is July '08. Nate is 36 and Funeka is 31 yrs old.

Nate's advantage is ring savyness and experience but Funeka is hungier . . . rightnow I'm leaning on an upset by Funeka . . . but I might still change mu pick after the weigh in.

I want to see both fighters standing side by side up close.

 

Looking forward to this. That's about as much as I can say.

 

There's a certain validity to that. ^ I don't bet on or count on intangibles, which is why I'll just be enjoying the show and not focusing much (guessing) on who is going to win. Good post, agreed.

 

Nate by KO

 

Funeka by mid round stoppage.
