Round by Round: Juan Diaz vs. Michael Katsidis

Who is gonna do IT...??...fucking comcast cable has been out since yesterday....:crying:...but my fucking Internet is working..and its provided by COMCAST...:dunno::bangh:

 

I'm a maybe.

 

I will be attending the fight.:hammert:

 

Boxing is back. :hammert:

This is the first real fight since Judah/Clottey. No, Calderon does not count.

 

Calderon = fighter of the year :cheer:

 

I wont do a r-b-r, but provided this fuckin storm we got right now doesnt mess up my dish... I'll drop by for updates.

WAR KATSIDIS!

 

This fight is waaaay more interesting than Judah-Clottey, and promises to be MUCH better. Its also a tougher fight to pick. Idk who in thier right mind actuually thought Judah could beat Clottey. The fight was very predictable, and the result was no surprise. This fight tonight is legitmately a pick em, and theres several scenarios which could play out, all of them exciting.

This fight is Cotto-Margarito, only on a lower level. Unlike Cotto, and Margarito, Diaz n Kat arent P4P level fighters, but this fight never-the-less could possibly be better than Cotto-Margarito.

BTW- I actually dreamed of the fight last night. Its not often I do that. Kat won by technical decision after 8 rounds do to a cut on Juan. I hope thats not what really plays out. I want a definitve ending in this fight one way or another.

 

I'm watching UFC and HBO Boxing at the same time! Gotta love 10 MS!!!!!:hammert:

 

15K people. Good crowd!!!

What I don't understand about Rocky is that he has the skills but it appears that he always fights in cruise control. He needs to fight with a sense of urgency. I'll Holla 5000
