Juan Diaz vs Michael Katsadis

[mgkirkpatrick]

Katsidis would definitely need to tighten up his defense for this one. If he could bring out some head movement on the way in he could push back Juan with his power punches and gain his respect. Believe me, Juan would never have tasted power like Katsidis' before and once he tasted it, he would be a tad bit more reluctant to open up like he did tonight against a moderate puncher like Julio. Katsidis' will is also unbreakable, and unless Juan cuts him up (which is possible) he will not disuade him from coming forward. Katsidis had his eye hanging out in his last fight and acted like nothing happened.

Two young guys, both with endless stamina. Katsidis' power keeps him in the fight, but for now I will go with Diaz as much as it pains me. I think Katsidis should take some more decent fights and tighten up his D before he steps up to Juan.

good post.

i think it would be a definite FOTY. two complete warriors. neither would lay down. katsidis more power but diaz the better boxer.

Juan would cut him up. I think Katsadis cuts easy. Juan is in another level above katsadis. I think Juan has earned the right to take pacman on

Manny Pacquiao would be a easier fight for Juan then Katsadis. Mann Pacquiao the lightweight isn't the same fighter as Manny the super-featherweight. Not nearly as effective specially if you're fighting another lightweight who is stronger then the Barrera's and Morales's that you've gotten used to fighting.

I like it. Hope it happens in 08.

Forget about Mayweather/Diaz or Diaz/pacquiao


If HBO and Don King make this fight happen I would even cough up some dough if it was on PPV.

This would be War, somebody make this fight happen...please

bullcrap! u need to get a job first before making that statement...

if Czar could bust Katsidis that much, i hate to see what will happen to him against juan...

unless mike level-up on defense i dont see him finishing the fight...

[warp1432]

So Apperently the WBO is making Diaz fight Katsadis, and Diaz can fight him no later then January or else he'll be stripped of the WBO.

Is this true?

Katsidis was cut up, but that's all he was. He was never hurt by Czar and put Czar down twice. To Czar's credit, he was a tough kid. But his toughness nearly ended his career with that hematoma he received.

that exactly what i mean ... kat cuts easily, the focused Czar is tough but not that tough (he got koed in ONE in front of his hometown), he has good enough boxing skill with a decent enough punch ... but not just yet comparable to Juan Diaz ..

Mike will need to level up his defense against Juan Diaz or it will be stopped on CUTS...

[JOM'S]

and i have to ADD that I also want to SEE this fight, but I want Mike to improve his defense first...
