This was a real good fight. A little bit of controversy around it but at the end of the day its just a good fight that we should enjoy. Alot better than the 2 fights before Campbell ****ing punished Funeka in those early rounds. Deadly body shots and nice shots to the head too and good defense. He is a good fighter. Funeka is a good fighter too. Good handspeed good reach and good footwork. The rounds he won were in general closer than the rounds Campbell won but as long as you win the round that's what matters. But i feel like any of rounds 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 could have gone to Campbell on one of the judge's cards and I'm sure the official scorecards reflect that. anyways here are the scores Campbell - Funeka 1> 10-9 2> 10-8 3> 10-9 4> 9-10 5> 10-9 6> 9-10 7> 9-10 8> 9-10 9> 9-10 10> 9-10 11> 10-8 12> 10-9 114-112 You really have to hate Campbell to give this one to Funeka. I was trying to give rounds to Funeka, if not I would have had it 115-111 with round 8 or 9 also going to the champ. I don't see how you can have Funeka winning 8 rounds. Impossible. And that's what he needed for a win. The rounds Nate won, he won clearly. Most rounds Funeka won were really close and its not surprising to see a score like 115-111. Funeka didn't really dominate 1 round. Funeka took it hard, like Mthlane when he lost to Nonito. These south africans take their hearts to the ring. good fight! saved the show imo Campbell gives good interviews man
It was a good fight. I had Funeka winning round 2 by a hair. I was fine with a draw, or even a campbell or funeka victory by a point or 2. But scoring it 4 points in favor of Campbell I think is ridiculous. 2 of the judges had Campbell winning by 3 and 4 points and thats just insane.
Funeka almost got knocked out in round 2. I think you mean round 3. Giving Funeka a victory in this fight by any margin is unreasonable. A draw is the worst you should give Campbell, and that is really if you're wearing Funeka goggles.
honestly philla thats a load of **** the most campbell earned in that fight was a draw no way should funeka be leaving with a defeat cause he wasnt beaten how you think campbell couldve won any of rounds 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 is beyond me he clearly lost every round from 3 to 11. i had it 114-113 for funeka
anyways i'm not gonna argue scores with you cause to me Campbell won that fight hands down but still Funeka is a good fighter and it was a good fight. It would be interesting to see the judges' scorecards round by round
I think the fight was a draw and the judges who scored it to campbell by such amounts were well wrong
Great fight...I thought it was close but clear for Campbell...Im wondering if he can do anything at 140..he's not real big and I don't think the speed that he has which is above average but not great (I guess good is the right word for his speed) will carry up to 140!
i had funeka up, nate cambell showed a lot of heart, but i dont even think he feels he won.....his wife, from early on when they showed her to late in the fight knew her husband was losing..... funeka and martinez got ****en jobbed, then they wonder why these fighters dont wanna come over here to fight....sad, cause they have to do it for the money, but at the same time, most of these lesser known fighters have to almost kill their opponents to win.....
