Ali Funeka will be the man @135 despite loss to Nate

And Funeka does have the defense to beat Diaz. Funeka does well on the inside for a man of his size, but he does not have the defense to. Diaz mixes up combinations very well and Campbell looked pretty predictable when throwing which allowed Funeka to figure him out. However I don't think that happens with Diaz.

I agree with Diaz combinations causing problems, but his lack of power and I don't see him closing that gap on Funeka as well as Campbell did

funeka's height and reach will frustrate diaz and diaz does not have the power to knock down funeka

the problem with South African fighters is that they show early promise but then fall by the wayside. And the promoters protect them way too much, i mean the last 4 IBF junior lightweight fights included 3 of them.

If i was Ali i would move to the states and fight based there. Remember Mbulelo Botile and Welcome Ncita?
