I forsee the "mean" Nate showing up and just beating down Funeka until it is stopped one way or another. Funeka has average speed, is tall and technical and has a wide base to his legs. If Nate rushes in using his head movement and ability to block and close at the same time, he'll find himself inside and able to work the body and land big shots which will eventually lead to a victory. Funeka was impressive against Raheem, but Raheem is a defensive slickster...a one dimensional fighter who was a perfect match for Funeka's style. It's also probable that Raheem underestimated Funeka. Nate sees him as a serious challenge to what he has worked for all these years and judging by his HBO Ring Life video, he will do whatever it takes to beat the South African.
