    You heard it here and first folks. I don't make many public threads regarding the outcome of fights but I could not pass this one up. The last Fight thread I made was "The Official BHOP will not be knocked out Thread".

    This is another fight I am fairly certain about. Unlike BHOP, Campbell's chin is not rock solid. This might not be a big deal when fighting non-hitters like Diaz but bring in a puncher and the things change.

    I have not seen a lot of Funeka but from what I have seen he has the skills neccessary to deliver that power of his. Funeka had no trouble handling the slippery Raheem and there is nothing to indicate Raheem was not there that night.

    I would also like to point out that to an unbiased observer this fight would be a bit easier to call. Of course this is ESB, the home of the knee jerk reaction! Campbells win over Diaz does not elimanate all his mishaps to the top. I think this will show come fight night.


    How do you guys see this fight going down?

    I'm sceptical of Funeka after the Raheem fight. The guy clearly isn't the same version that fought say - Erik Morales- but anyway, besides that, I haven't seen the fight but I have seen the actual knockout, and wasn't it after the bell?

    I can't see it personally. Campbell wears him down and wins via late TKO in my opinion.

    I'm not ready to make a prediction yet but honestly, I hope Funeka KO's Campbell. Not much tape to look at on Funeka.

    I like Funeka in this one. Nate won't be able to stand there and trade with this guy like he did in the Diaz fight. Funeka is a very smart fighter.

    If Nate's history is anything to go by he is due for an unexpected loss.

    I hope not. I like Campbell and a loss here would really set him back unless he has a rematch clause.

    Very dangerous fight for Nate, but I say he's turned a corner and handles his business.

    I favor Nate to win, but Funeka's a live a 'dog as you'll ever find in my book, partly because Ali's absolutely huge at the weight. Nate'll have a tough night's work in for him.

    I'm not a fan of campbell nor Funeka..

    if campbell is slow or too slow we're going to see a short fight. Funeka too big for campbell. FUN finishes campbell in less than 6 rds.

    if cambell is quick and will be too fast for FUNEKA and the fight goes to distance, CAMP will have a chance to win..

    C'mon man! size wise, CAMPBELL looks like a dwarf beside FUNEKA. CAMPBELL is not a power puncher. Only speed will save campbell. IF HE DOESN'T have it!......I don't see how he will win.

    BUMP. I posted this about a week back or two ago and thought it would be more relevant now.

    Post your prediction or feel free to call me an idiot for picking Funeka.
