Super Six Lightweights: Part 5- The Final Guzman-Funeka II
December 8th, 2009
By Peter Wells: After a great semi-final we come down to a grand final with a rematch between Joan Guzman 32-1-1 against Ali Funeka 34-2-3. Last time out they came to a controversial draw, where Funeka looked the clear winner, and now he has the chance to prove that. Funeka remains undefeated in the tournament beating Kevin Mitchell, Michael Katsidis, and Paulus Moses and stopping Edwin Valero in the semis. While Guzman has come out with the only defeat of his career to Edwin Valero while beating Michael Katsidis twice and Kevin Mitchell.
Guzman will start to move well in round 2 and cause Ali some problems and catching him before he can be caught himself. Guzman starts to get caught in round 3, and is back on the ropes, but Funeka isn’t able to keep it up and lets Joan go. Funeka keeps the pressure on for the next few rounds. By half way Funeka should be just ahead and Funeka keeps the pace going forcing Guzman to try and fight back. Guzman looks knackered by the 10th and is far behind. Funeka keeps catching the bloodied face of Joan Guzman, but Joan keeps coming back refusing to give in. In the end Funeka should come out with a comfortable victory by 9 or 10 rounds.
So there you have it, at the end of the tournament we should have Ali Funeka now 35-2-3 crowned champion of Lightweight, and will be holding the WBA and WBC titles. I wouldn’t know what happens to them after the tournament, because we all know it’d probably never happen.

hahaha i genuinely love this article, haven’t had such a laugh for ages.Mainly because you seem a bit strange but also some dead funny shouts here as well haha- keep it up i cant wait for the next 1.
this guy or g.y is jus crazy man! dreams to book..oh sht, somthin els wud do.. in J’burg we spank such A-s
Peter, I’m afraid you have let your imagination run too far. Someone else tried this whole lick your finger, stick it in the air, and GUESS what would transpire against Manny and Mayweather. It too was a flop.
My question to you is why? With boxing being what it is there is no way this article of your serves a purpose. Now i am south african and Ali Funeka is from here but seriously man, Funeka beating Valero!!!!!!
Back to the drawing board and by this i mean real boxing news next time Peter.
Peter Wells what the hell are you going on about? Cluttering up this website with nonsense.
Id like to see these tournements in all weights, how can be anything but a good thing? But you aint guna do this cheese from top to bottom are you?
Joan Guzman:
won 29 (KO 17) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 1 = 30
and have never fight vs Edwin Valero…
joan guzman information is totally wrong in this article…
I have a simple statement that would sum up all of this hypothetical nonsense for the lightweight division. Every single one of these fighters that participated in this tournament would all be picked apart and severly beaten by Juan Manuel Marquez. Just because he moved up in weight for his most recent fight against Mayweather, lets not forget that he is still the lineal titleholder. Also why was there no mention at all of Juan Diaz, and Joel Casamayor participating? Granted they both lost to Marquez but as far as I know Diaz never said he was done at lightweight, and Casamayor beat Katsidis in case anyone forgot.
yeh seriously…..how old are u?
ur proper weird mate
