This is a pretty nice match-up comming up and I really haven't seen it discussed on the boards all that much... who's everybody like in this fight?

Myself, I don't know what Bob Arum is thinking by putting one of his top prospects up against a boxer like Joel Cassamayor this early in his carrer. Diamond took care of a crafty boxer in Koba Gogoladze earlier this year, but in my opinion Cassa has more than held his own with all the top boxers in his division and is still in the P4P top 15. I think Cassamayor will do his thing and dominate the fight --- Its a shame too because I am a fan of kid diamond, but I think he's gonna be in a little over his head in this match-up.

kid diamond will KO him

no way diamond will ko casa. I think they both have the same power but casa with a slight edge over speed also casa experince is something that will come into play in this match up.

Casa by decision

ill bet u diamond wins

The Winner might fight Cotto, I'm going with Casamayor, hes a very good boxer (should of beat Castillo), if that does happen we'll have a great Cuba vs. PR match-up like Casamayor/Seda.

ok lets put our money/sigs where our mouths are.

what u wanna do

I really like Casamayor

I also like Kid Diamond

I was at his fight at the mgm grand (barrera-morales III undercard)

this is a toss up

ill bet u diamond wins

I'll go 5 million points on Cassa-- okay

i dont got a lot of points so im putting how much,, all of mine?

yeah thats fine whatever you want to bet

an ull put 5 mil to my any ammount?

Casamayor will beat Kid Diamond, I have no doubt. He is treated unfairly, though he was a ****ing moron for leaving Goose.

Kid Diamond is a good young prospect who is certainly going to be a factor for years. But Casamayor really is the elite of the division. Both his losses to Castillo and Corrales (not to mention Frietas) were razor thin, and it would be unfair to say that he is not on the level of those three- as he is. And what that means is as of right now, he is still just a little better then KD is.

Cassamayor is very underrated IMO.

As mentioned, his losses to Popo, Corrales and Castillo were razor thing, as in a round difference in opinion.

He has only lost to the very best, was ultra competitive in all of those fights, and wasn't knocked out by two of the biggest punchers at 135.

I think his experience will see him get the win over Diamond.

I saw Kid Diamond in his last fight,and he looked clumsy and one dimensional.He's pressure fighter with good power,but that's nothing Casamayor hasn't seen before.I think Casamayor will school Kid Diamond,and win a lopsided Decision.
