    I really think Funeka uses his size and outboxes diaz to a close to comfrotable UD, and funeka can crack a little bit....I think this is a bad matchup for juan stylistically speaking.....Who takes it at 135?

    but if it's in Houston Funeka is ****ed...

    :rofl:rofl

    yeah but I feel the same, Ali is big, akward, and poweful. I doubt the Baby BUll could handle that.

    yeah i'm pretty much convinced that diaz is very similar to hatton, where size and boxing skills will catch-up to him, i think funeka is all wrong for diaz....

    I just think that stylewise a high output fighter with a good jab like Diaz has the style it takes to beat Funeka who has a leaky defense, doesn't have much pop behind his jab and is tall, thin, and relatively chinny. And I don't think that Funeka is all that good either.

    I'm not one to rate Diaz as highly as most others, but this is a very winnable fight for him IMO

    good point overall, i actually think diaz has no jab myself.....but funeka is slow as ****....i just think funeka keeps a distance and juan gets outworked

    Funeka stops Diaz. Easy pick.
