I really watched funeka's style last night and he reminds me of b-hop.

    physically, not necessarily his style, he too reminded me of bhop. tall, skinny, stands straight up with an erect pointy bald head. similar 'fighting stance' at times too. the funny thing is he's probably nearly the same size as Bhop during his middleweight reign. no way funeka should be fighting at LW

    I can see your point, his stance and his build is similar to Hopkins.

    :lol:

    On the contrary, I thought he fought alot like a black Kelly Pavlik. Plodding, coming forward all the time with alot of 1-2's & tall & skinny.

    Just my opinion.

    Thats what i was saying.

    his stance is very similar to bhops....

    angled, chin tucked, left hand up, feet shoulderwidth apart, ect..... i said during the fight DAMN, his stance is almost identical to bernards.

    Can't say I saw any Hopkins. His punch technique reminds me of Pavlik.

    He reminds me of a larger version of Bernard Hopkins.

    I actually thought the same thing. He fights nothing like B-Hop, but his stance is identical.

    funeka throws more punches in 1 round than Hops does in a whole fight.

    no way man Funeka is more like the small slow lethargic stiff jab stand upright easy to hit B-Hop.

    iam not saying funekas not good but he can be exploited and outboxed 12 rounds easy, Guzman just thought he was ****ing mike tyson in there for 12 rounds and tried to knock him out.

    I saw it a little too (similarities in style) but there are also major style differences. Anyways physically he looks a little like Bhop.

    I think Guzman is a little bit better fighter than Funeka. Styles make fights which is why I picked Funeka to win it before.

    I'm not a huge Guzman fan btw but thats just how I saw it.
