Marquez will make Katsidis look like an MMA class striker

Katsidis is a tough guy and his boxing has improved a great deal. I favor JMM to win but it won't be easy at all. Katsidis' best chance is to come in aggressive with his old style, if he tries to box, he gets schooled badly by JMM.

Kats was working over Casamayor at times, he just got stupid towards the end of the fight. My gut says he gets stopped by JMM, but then I think about how his brother died and maybe.. with the extra motivation, he pulls out the victory.

Marquez by tko round 11. Kats gonna get countered all night.

I got a feeling katz is gonna do it, just coz marquez beat the two guys katz got beaten off of doesnt make a difference. In theory marquez should win but remember marquez is 37 now and katz is on a mission...

Katsidis already looks like an MMA striker. .......... i know, Marquez will make him look like a bad one.

What an arrogant, unaccurate post. Schooled by Casa, watch that fight again where Katsidis took over the middle rounds and almost had Casa quit with great body shots when he knockded him down. Kats made an ambituous mistake and got caught by a great fighter. " Katsidis too dumb"....who the fukk are you?? You ever talk to Kats? I'm sure he's already amounted to more in life than you ever will. There was a much better way to get your point across than disrespecting someone like that behind a computer screen and keyboard. The boxing world needs more Katsidis types. Who the hell are you coming in here with 17 posts, talking to me like that... have some red :wave:

He had Casamayor, but got caught, lost a decision to Juan Díaz in TEXAS, had a FOTY (IMHO) with Amonsot in 2007, and is a very entertaining fighter with lots of heart. Over-rated and Marquez will validate that tonight.

Where the fvck did he say he was robbed? You clowns need to STFU always trying to act like you know some ****. He didn't. But it looks like he strongly implied it, which is why I asked the question.

Lets hope Marquez looks like a God tonight, that way Manny won't fight him.

Katsidis is very over-rated in my view; I don't understand why he gets so much hype. Marquez will embarrass him. No one is overrating him. He earned his way to this title shot with some solid wins.

I know he's not. I never said he was. I know I know. The comment was not thrown out there at you! I have Márquez winning this fight, but would not be at all surprised if Kats comes in with the Eye Of The Tiger and finishes Márquez. If Díaz almost had, at one time, Márquez, Kats can do it, also.

No. Juan Díaz won a split decision in Texas. Kats is not overrated. I know he's not. I never said he was.

Don't get worked up about Juan Díaz fighting in Texas! I mean, the judges are very fair there. No bias at all. :boxing:

Are you claiming he was robbed against Diaz? No. Juan Díaz won a split decision in Texas. Kats is not overrated.

I mean seriously, how is Katsidis supposed to beat JMM? Both times the kid made an attempt to step up his game, he got beat up. And that was against the two guys that Marquez knocked out. Casamayor schooled him in the art of "ass whooping" and the Baby Bull outhussle him. Marquez has the skill and ability to do both. Should be entertaining while it lasts because Katsidis is too dumb to do anything to prevent the ass whooping he's about to receive; he'll walk into counter power shots all night. Marquez will reduce him to the class of the MMA striker, i.e., ineffective. What an arrogant, unaccurate post. Schooled by Casa, watch that fight again where Katsidis took over the middle rounds and almost had Casa quit with great body shots when he knockded him down.

Katsidis is not overrated - and I believe that's not a fair comment to make. As Mario said, he was on his way to beating Joel 'till he made a foolish mistake and got caught rushing in. His gameplan for Diaz was all wrong. He's not overrated by any boxing scribe so I don't know where you're getting that from. He's a solid, aggressive fighter with certain flaws. Katsidis has made a fair few improvements over his losses to Casa and Diaz, but he still gets reckless at times. Mitchell was tagging him on the backfoot but simply wasn't good enough to keep the rampaging Aussie off him. If Kats can maintain his composure whilst still applying that relentless aggression to Marquez he can very well beat him. Just hope JMM doesn't make him do a Peden. That was disgusting.
