So Juan Diaz stopped crying about the Reyes gloves. Well, actually he didn't, but GBP gave an ultimatum: oblige the contract that you both already signed that stipulates that Katsidis can use his Cleto-Reyes gloves, or else Katsidis will fight in Sept., and YOU will be fightless for the rest of the year.
Hahaha. One would think Juan wouldn't be such a Baby over it, being that the fight is in his back yard in Texas. Every puncher uses Cleto Reyes in pro fights from Pacman to Oscar to Katsidis and if Juan can't handle the heat, he should go to law school instead of being a professional fighter for a living. I guess after the whooping Campbell put on him, he is reluctant to get all cut up again, but that's the nature of the sport, so deal with it dude...
In all fairness though, I think the blame may actually fall on Willie Savanah, Diaz's manager. That guy is a bonafide piece of shit and seems it may be him behind the shananigins.
Predictions anyone? I'm gonna say Katdsidis by UD, though I hope Katsidis stops him. Should be an excellent scrap!
You sound like a Diaz Hater!!!! Your trying to make this into a Diaz hate thread and it backfired. This fight can go either way......Im taking Diaz by decision because Diaz willalso come back hungry after being humilated in Mexico. Oh no hes bitching about the glove hes a punk blah blah blah get over it and be happy the damn fight happened.
i do kinda dislike diaz, you are right, but that doesn't make me a hater- what an overused term. i respect him as a fighter who goes all out for it, but I don't like his complaining, his lack of punching power, his annoying yelps, or the fact that he looks flabby (I'm glad Nate capitalized on that gut with body shots and it slowed the Baby Bull down for sure), though I know his overall conditioning has to be good based on how many punches he throws.
I enjoyed watching Nate win, because I knew he is a good guy and that he had it in him and it was going to be his last shot at a title. he came out and proved himself superior.
I don't see how anything backfired on me?!? I'm just making observations and asked everyone who they thought would win. you say diaz, I say possibly you may be right, though I am picking Katsidis. He comes forward non-stop with more power than Diaz has and they will meet head-on the same way Campbell and Diaz did. Juan doesn't seem to like it when the pressure he usually applies on lesser opponents is put on him and that is exactly what Katsidis will do. I wouldn't mind seeing a stoppage either, and it is entirely possible. And yes sir, I am very glad the fight is on- may the best man win....
a good fighter should be able to fight with any brand gloves. RJJ wanted to use his Grants for the Trinidad fight and got screwed out of using them, but he didn't put up too much of a fuss, he used the everlast and won. There are more important things than the brand of gloves for a fighter to worry about IMO, like getting KTFO. I'm gonna give the decision to Katsidis just because I think after the Casaymour (spelling) hes going to be more determined than ever.
What makes you think Juan Diaz wouldn't be just as determined? All I know is this fight is hard to judge who will win though I think Katsidis has the edge even though I'm not completely sold on that thought. I like both guys so may the best man win.
its ironic how juan called out paccquiao and insisted that he would avenge all the mexicans and how he is a true mexican at heart.
then he cries about Katsidis's gloves- we're talking about the quintessential MEXICAN gloves here, Cleto-Reyes....
Morales did the same thing. Pac wanted the Mex gloves and Morales wanted the Asian gloves- Winning. The difference in that fight (the 1st pac-morales fight) is that Pac's manager made the mistake of conceding his glove of choice for Winning all around in that fight by not reviewing the details of the contract before having Pac-Man sign it. But Juan Diaz signed a contract letting Katsidis use the Mexican gloves, so he had no right to bitch after the fact!!!! No body can question Morales's heart though- a true Mexican warrior!

Gloves do make a difference.
BTW, Juan didn't want Katsidis to wear Cleto-Reyes? Sounds like the Morales/Pac I fight.

Why would boxer worry about what other gloves there opponent is wearing? Am going with Diaz on this one i dont like this face first katsidis style at all i could see him taking 4-5 combination and him still coming forward for more till he gets stopped.
