Who gave nate the 12th round

I did give Campbell the 12th round,I thought he did enough.Altough he lost many of the middle rounds the 2 10-8 rounds hurt Funeka.
And Chico was a decent boxer IMO,I mean look at Casamayor II.

 

Although i hadn't seen to much of him before the rahim fight he is fast becoming one of my favourite fighters, excellent skills, decent punch, maybe a weakish chin but a great heart. He is the kind of guy that boxings all about.

 

I gave Campbell the 12th. But it was certainly close. Maybe i should watch it again.

 

Agreed.

 

A lot of Funeka's punches were failing to get through the guard though, and in some of the closer rounds Nate was landing the cleaner body shots whereas Funeka's combinations were flashy but ineffective.

I will score it tonight, I think I had it 114-114, with the two KD's that'd be 114-112 for Nate.

Will re-score it with a pen tonight rather than just from visuals and relying on memory. It might be worth scoring it with the sound down.

With Nate moving up, and possibly Juan Diaz and JMM (and besides, who knows what they will be like by the end of that fight, I think it will be a WAR) the LW division is now Funeka's for the taking.

Well, it won't be easy, but you'd have to make it 50-50 between Funeka against Katsidis (very good chance due to his wild rights, one could land and Funeka would be hurt, however, he shows the intelligence of clinching and his frame seems to make it hard for him to be finished easily) Valero (I honestly think Funeka would box his head off and stop him) David Diaz (hasn't got the punch to trouble Funeka, slow and small) Julio Diaz/Joel Casamayor (both past their best) Amir Khan/Barrera (Barrera seems shot, Funeka would obliterate Khan)

Funeka vs. Prescott would be an exciting fight that's for sure!!!

One thing I noticed, Campbell's pressure meant Funeka never really sat down on his punches. He seemed to be boxing off the backfoot most of the fight, and whenever he did sit down on his punches NAte had a good enough defence so he didn't really get hurt. I think if Funeka was faced with a lesser opponent (weight-drained or not Nate is amongst the best in the division, it's out of him and JMM in terms of 'who is the best LW' IMO) who was either A) Less skilled with pressure fighting B) Poor defence (i.e Katsidis and Valero) then Funeka would throw that straight right down the centre and squash them!

Either way, Funeka's emergence on the scene has made LW just as interesting, even if some of the best seem to be about to jump ship.

The way it's going, 140 seems to be the best division now!

 

I gave him 12th round and he won the fight hands down.

 

FAIL, Nate clearly won that rd and the fight, how could anyone say he only won 3 rds?

 

Funeka was running and holding on for dear life, while Nate was pressing the action going for the KO, the other guy was just trying to survive, seriously Funeka lost that rd hands down.

 

for the last minute of the 12th round campbell never stopped throwing hurtful body punches
