Diaz vs Katsidis who wins?

i have no idea who can win this one. diaz lack of power is his great disadvantage, but his volume compensates that, and he slowly wars you down, but against katsidis i really dont know if he is gonna be able to hurt him very much. on the other side katsidis is strong and tough, but lacks boxing skills and defense, so katsidis will be eating leather all night long xD. I think that diaz will win by decision on a very tough fight that will make everyone feel that katsidis can turn the fight at any point with one punch. i just hope this turns to be an awesome fight, this boxingless of big matches period has sucked. :boxing:

Its almost time! Il be leaving in an hour and a half You lucky bastard. Hey, if youre there pls ask those guys not to let Juan's mom in there, she probably gives him the shits.

Diaz is the better technician without a doubt, But he can be beat. He also has never fought anybody with the power that Katsidis has. I think the Freitas he fought had about the same power Katsidis has. Lets not forget Katsidis just got KOd, he might try to box a little more.

Something tells me Diaz will be the better technician and win a close decision. Diaz is the better technician without a doubt, But he can be beat. He also has never fought anybody with the power that Katsidis has.

Looking forward to this so tired but I'm staying up for Kat, he is an Aussie hero :D what time is it in Aussie Land?

Alright fight is almost on in a couple of hours.

Juan diaz by late ko or decision. I think he outworks katsidis. I also don't see katsidis knocking diaz out. Can't wait should be good.

Diaz will win, it could either be by decision or TKO. Katsidis seems to cut fairly easily, so it may be stopped on cuts. He has lots of heart, so, unlike Freitas, he won't give up no matter what. True, Katsidis does get cut alot, similar to Gatti, But it really doesn't affect him too much.

All I know is I will be there and win or lose this night will be bad ass!!!!Its like a mini vegas trip for me except I live here. I got Rocky and Juan winning. Juan winning by UD Rocky by ko in 10 rd.....If rocky from the Juarez-Barrera1 shows up.

Initially I had Diaz by decision but katsidis pretty weak on the inside so Iv'e changed to a TKO for Diaz.

I CANT WAIT for this WAR!!! This is what boxings all about! Katsidis in FOTY, Unless it gets stopped on cuts. I think Katsidis has the heart and the stamina to stand and trade like Campbell did with Diaz without wilting, its not the power from Diaz that gets u its the constant punching that tires u mentally and beats u down, MK can take it and he is the Harder puncher too

I too am dismayed by the lack of attention this fight is getting. I mean both guys have to do their preps, but neither is saying much in the press to hype the fight, and it's falling by the wayside to half a dozen non-fights. It's ridiculous the amount of attention Calzaghe and Dela Hoya get around here. There's no way Katsidis is gonna get a close split decision in Juan's hometown. I can see a brutal inside war with multiple knock-downs and a dramatic finale. Katsidis is gonna have to go for the knock-out in the later rounds and might just suffer the same fate he did against Casamayor. Juan's power is underrated and his accuracy is superb. Mike has incredible heart and strength and nothing is impossible for him in the ring. I've got a Row 1 ticket in section 106. Very hard to call this one, but I see a great fight and an unfair scoring card very much tilted towards Diaz. I say rematch in Brisbane, ANZ Stadium! (How did this end up a thread on some who-cares LHs?)

I do like Dawson! He's just not my favorite. I think Tarver is going to spark his ass though in a battle of slick southpaws. Tarver is old, it may be time for him to past the tourch. Dawson is too young and he also fought the better opponent in their last time out so it could be a bit misleading. Woods did not test Tarver and only stared at him the whole time. He enjoyed the fight as much as we did..lol. Tarver can punch, but thats mainly the only thing he has going for him in this fight. Hes not out boxing Dawson. :D

The interest in Winky is his defense. I think it is fucking amazing watching him put his arms up and block like 6 punches in a row, none landing. The most amazing thing I have seen in boxing is in Wright-Mosley II when Mosley throws 19 unanswered punches, all in one combination, and literally 0 land. Just fucking incredible. I think Lopez is my #2 (another southpaw)... that fight against Ponce had my jaw on the floor. I'm actually really starting to like Camacho, the more I watch. He just might be my #3 all time. How about that? Maybe I should change my name to slick southpaw? Camacho is a great boxer as well as fighter so i can see why you like him, but there is just something about him that kind of turns me away from him. I'm shocked that you don't like Dawson though. He can not only box as well as any good southpaw but he could punch as well on top of his handspeed. Your list is fighters are good though. Lopez is going to be a star IMO. It would be interesting if your changed you name to that. It would match, but people may get us confused..lol
