    if the fight is close then guzman ha no chance. after the last fight most people believe it was a poor decision so if its close the judges will give it to funeka.

    guzman will have to do what he did to soto to win this fight.

    Last fight Funeka kicked the living **** out of him. Guzmans white shorts were burgundy red by the end of the fight from all the blood leaking out of his nose.

    The last fight was a blatant robbery, people couldn't even use the "it was a close fight that could have gone either way" bull**** for that one. Funeka dominated him completely and was clearly screwed over.

    I will be rooting for Funeka for this one.

    Guzmans getting KTFO. Guzman will be weight drained and Ali will know not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

    If Guzman is in better shape and fights like he used to, he'll win this fight going away. The Guzman that fought Funeka that time out didn't have any mobility, head movement, or punch variety after the 2nd round. Along with mobility, most of his style is predicated on head movement and various punches.

    Kudos to Guzman for accepting the rematch.

    As for the fight itself, Guzman has no chance. Funeka is the real deal. He's going to outwork Guzman once again.

    Agreed. Anyone who watched the first go-around witnessed what obviously was a one-sided beat down for majority of the contest. It's unfair to Funeka to have to reprove himself when he clearly he was the victor and should now be moving on to bigger fights. It's also unfair to the fans have to be resold on a settled affair.

    Very proud for Guzman to take this rematch, not a lot of fighters would do that. I think Guzman would perform better and esp. smarter, I hope the judges get this one right this time to who ever is the clear winner.

    The safe money is on Funeka again. I thought Guzman won all of 3 rounds last time out.

    Thank god. Funeka can end his overrated career and send him into retirement, Im sick of hearing about Guzman. He hasnt done **** in 3 years, and idiots still want to claim he is p4p.

    Lee Beard, former Hatton`s head trainer will be working with Guzman for this one, i heard that Beard clicks perfectly with slick boxers like Guzman, i`ll take Guzman by UD this time.

    More marketable fighter in what sense? The fact that he hasn't had a knockout win since 2004? That, stylistically, he's a boring runner who refuses to engage? Or that he's fought 3 times in the last 3 years? Add to that the fact that he's turning 34 this year, and it's hard for me to think of a top-level fighter less marketable than Guzman right now. (He's also ugly as ****!)

    Would love to see Guzman back to his best but even still, like a lot of people have already said I think Funeka is a bad match up - Guzman's got too much of a size/reach disadvantage to win this.

    Funeka is a tall fighter but i think Guzman can handle that without the headbutt and the punch on the nose, being more carefull and using a lot of head movement, he clearly won the first 3 rounds before he started bleeding from the nose and forehead.
