Pacquiao-Diaz Is already scheduled June 28 Diaz-Katsidis is being planned for a WCB Date in September/October Cassamayor-Marquez is being planned for September/October on PPV Chavez-Hernandez 2 is being scheduled for the Undercard of that PPV. Campbell-Guzman is being planned for August/September on Showtime. 135 just overtook 147 as the best division in boxing.
Just like 147 the best fight to be made isn't happening. Campbell vs Casamyor is THE fight to be made. Much like Floyd vs Cotto is THE fight at 147. Why the hell would Katsidis vs Diaz be on world championship boxing? Maybe a BAD card. Neither is a Champ.
Because both have a style which is easy on the eye: Diaz comes forward with almost no hope of actually stopping the other guy, whilst Kats can't defend himself for shit but looks singularly to knock his opponent the fuck out. Which, for the record, he will do. As an aside, and presuming the motherfucker learns to KEEP HIS LEFT HAND BY HIS HEAD INSTEAD OF AT HIS WAIST, you might just be able to add Amir Khan to the Lightweight mix inside twelve moths or so. Whether the horrible Werren cunt allows him to take that risk is a different question, of course... :bangh:
Diaz-Katsidis will be a FUN fight...artie: but BABY BULL is getting KNOCK THE FUCK OUT....both have similar styles..come forward attack..attack...the difference is punching power..Kats got lots of it...Baby Bull has the punching force of a 5 week old baby..
You're damn right he is... :bears: Katisidis is severely underrated- people seem to forget that he almost had Casa OUT after a ridiculously overconfident start. Even after being dropped like a sack of shit early doors, he was ahead on the cards until he STUPIDLY allowed himself to forget his earlier errors. He won't make that mistake again, and I repeat for the uninitiated: Katisidis punches like a MOTHERFUCKER!!! Diaz couldn't hurt Kats in 30 rounds, let alone 12, and when Kats hits Juan, he will have a nap. Mark my words... MTF
I don't know what Diaz people are thinking...this fight is the worst style matchup they could've possibly made... vs. Casamayor/Campbell/Marquez he might still lose..but it's possible that he overwhelm them with punches...none of them are bangers...and win a decision.. vs. Kats I can see any other outcome than Baby Bull getting ko'ed early...
Are you guys stupid or something?? Campell punches harder than Katsidis and since the guy is also a defenseless chinny guy he'll get beat up pretty badly by Diaz maybe even stopped on cuts.
They are probably thinking what others are thinking- Casa was considered a technical fighter with little punch and he stopped Kats, so Kats must be weak chinned. They are half right. Kats can't defend himself for his life, but Juan can't punch for his and even though Casa stopped Katsidis, he near got folded in half at one point. Moreover, and I repeat, JUAN CAN'T PUNCH. Katsidis will eat him alive and, if he does, a fight with Amir Khan would be a great fight for him- at least money wise. He'd obliterate him in four rounds imho... MTF
I'll take whatever..as long as it's on HBO or SHOWTIME...but some of these fight have sooooo much stink in them they should really be on ESPN or VERSUS.
Diaz-Katsidis is a pick em pretty much, I'm leaning slightly towards Kat. Either way it'll be a FOTY candidate. Casamayor-Marquez should NOT be on PPV! No fuckin way! I'll wait for the replay on this one. Campbell-Guzman is a good matchup, and non PPV so that makes it even better.:bears: No one cares about Chavez-Hernadez. 135 is a good division right now, but the most talented & possibly the best fighter in the division is Anthony Peterson.
U BEAT REED to the Punch, Brother X... Anthony Peterson is Slated to Start ATTACKING Elite Lightweights by the End of this Year or EARLY 2009...Guys like Casa or Nate have NO MORE than 1-2 Good Years Left...Anthony Peterson is the FUTURE of the Division... & "The FUTURE" May Come B 4 ANY of them R Ready for It... The ONLY Question REED has about Peterson is his CHIN...REED HASN'T Seen a PUNCHER Crack him SOLID yet...But IF the Kid TAKES a Good Shot, he's GUARANTEED to Win a World Title... Peterson's AGGRESSIVE, Throws a GOOD Amount of Punches, Works the Body VERY Well & he's ATHLETIC...He's about 2-3 Fights Away from Being Absolute HELL for ANY 135 pounder... Yet, Peeps Say Boxing is "Dying"???::... REED:kidcool:
As for Diaz-Katsidis, Give REED Katsidis... Casamayor's POWER has ALWAYS Been UNDERRATED...No, he's NOT a "Puncher", but he's Also NOT the Type of Guy U Want to Get Hit By REPEATEDLY, as Katsidis did... Casa's ACCURATE, has Good TECHNIQUE & Throws his Shots SWIFTLY...That MORE than Makes Up for ANY Lack of Heavy Handedness he May Have... N Other Words, REED Doesn't Hold the Knockdowns & Knockout AGAINST Katsidis @ All...Personally, REED Would Rate Casa as a 7 or 7.5 N POWER...By Comparision, REED would Rate Juan Diaz as a 5 or 5.5... Juan's PILLOW Punches WON'T Affect Katsidis AND, Juan DOESN'T Possess the DEXTERITY or RINGSMARTS to Deal w/Katsidis... REED Looks for Katsidis to STOP Juan N the 9th or 10th...& Even IF Diaz Lasts the Distance, the Fight will B Tooooooooo DECISIVE to ROB Katsidis of his Deserved Victory... BAD Matchup for Juan Diaz... REED:hammert:
Them pillow punches might not effect you right away. Round after round it will start to effect Katsidis. Juan is the more skilled fighter and im not sure if Kat can get the KO he would need to beat Juan.
yeah Juan got extra tired and unmotivated after he saw his own blood...same happen a few years ago...
