[bishop2006]

The WBO has ruled that negotiations begin immediately for a title bout between world champion Juan Diaz and interim champion Michael Katsidis. Katsidis was scheduled for a big May 26 USA coming out party on HBO, but opponent Joan Guzman pulled out leaving Katsidis in the cold. Needless to say, Team Katsidis is thrilled by the news. "Michael Katsidis and Brendon Smith (trainer/manager) would personally like to thank Mr Francisco Valcalel for enforcing the mandatory and to make one of the greatest fights ever to be seen in the lightweight division," said Smith in an email. "This is the reason why we have been loyal to the WBO for so many years. 'Paco' is a good man and the WBO is a great organization, who have treated us very well

WOW! how great would this fight be? I seriously dont know who would win because Katsidis hits so hard,he could catch Diaz with a punch,it would be a war,none of them ever stop punching,id go with Diaz by hard UD

Oh ****....that'd be a brawl. Katsidis looked pretty relentless in the footage I have seen of him.

I can't go against Diaz after watching that Freitas fight though. The kid is pretty tough and has stamina enough for everyone at ringside. His work ethic is as good as anyones in the sport. Diaz by decision.

Katsidis has got great power.

I’ve just creamed myself, possible FOTY right there.

After what Diaz did to Freitas I get an itch to say he could stop Katsidis but come on now......what am I thinking.Anyway Diaz UD......he can't be stopped at LW if you ask me right now.

Yeh Katsidis looked like a monster in the fight i seen him in,i dont know which round it was but he let one of the most ruthless 30 punch combination off lol,they both NEVER stop punching,and both come foward,i think it has all the potential to be better then Williams-Margarito

earl timed katsidis and nearly had him out and hes a light puncher, diaz is much better im sure he can do the same but stop him.

yeah I forgot earl dropped him.Id rather Juan would fight Casa. Theres not much to be gained from fighting Katsidis.

JUAN DIAZ by ko man after the freitas fight diaz is ****ing relentless he's like a tank he dont ever stop coming.

[The Monk]

Yes this fight is one of the fights i've thought about, would absolutly love to see it. Would have to go with Diaz after seeing him against Freitas but I tell you what, Katsidis is one of the cleanest punchers around and if he gets his hooks going like against Earl, Diaz could be in for a very hard night.
