But the fight is still on WTF? This fight is at 135 and Guzman comes in at 144 but they contuine with the fight.
I got money on Funeka and maynot have bet it had I known Guzman was going to be allowed to come in 10 pounds overweight.I bet a 135-135 pound fight not a 135 against 145 pound fight.This is stupid call the fight off and fine/suspend Guzman

Guzman didn't make weight for the fight against Nate Campbell.. that never happened, and Funeka whipped him badly.. yet somehow was a draw.
Guzman has no desire to be in the ring, I've never seen a guy weight a FULL 9 pounds over the limit. That's a clear way out of a fight.
If the fight does go on (after the 7 am weigh in) I say Funeka wins this even easier!
As DannoDanger said they have an agreement 150 is the cut off.
Here's the details.
Tomorrow night’s
12-rounder between Joan Guzman (29-0-1, 17 KOs) and Ali Funeka (30-2-3,
25 KOs) is still on – but it will not be for the IBF lightweight title,
at least for one of the fighters. Earlier today, Guzman weighed in nine
pounds heavy, at 144, while Funeka made weight at 135. A deal was struck
between camps allowing the fight to go on – providing that Guzman does
not weigh more than 150 lbs. tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. If Funeka
defeats the overweight Guzman, he will also be allowed to bring the IBF
lightweight title home to South Africa.

Guzman is such a disgrace to boxing, I can;t wait to see him get smacked around by Funeka tomorrow.
Funeka ITD +500 looks like its worth a shot to me. Guzman was not only 9 lbs overweight but he looked out of shape. If Funeka can keep the pressure on him and wear him down, I can see Guzman getting KO'd or just quitting on the stool

Fight seems like a go .. this article is a laugher, they blame the electric belt "Sauna Suit Failure".

Personally he shouldn't be allowed to box, total disrespect for boxing this isn't his first time doing this! He did this when he was scheduled to fight Nate Campbell.
Can't wait for him to get demolished tonight.

This morning he weighed in at 148 and Funeka weighed in at 143.
And Rich, this also happened with him when he was supposed to fight Alex Arthur in 2008. The original story from the Guzman camp was that they were having visa issues, but it came out that he was huge and wasn't going to be anywhere close to weight.
I hate very few fighters, but Guzman has been on my list for a while. I was at his fight with Soto in Atlantic City, and I had the displeasure of sitting near his people. His brother was out of control. He was running around the ring like a lunatic screaming. Security almost tossed him a few times. And the fight was BORING with almost no action, because Joan was in full retreat for the last six rounds.
