Id favor the bigger puncher here coz Diaz isn't exactly a speedster.

Diaz isn't the fastest guy, but he throws good combos, has good stamina. Plus, he has the better chin in this fight. I think Diaz UD or TKO 11 on Cuts.

Nice breakdown Lucha but i think that Katsidis has the stamina even if he hasnt been the full 12 yet, and the spirit to stand with him and exchange all night, his will wont break just as Campbells never. His harder punches will do more damage and get him the win IMO thats IF he dont get stopped on cuts which is a real worry

Got to agree there, he looked fine in the 10 round with Casamayor to me (Stamina wise). I think he could have done the 12 easily.

Yeah it was, I was going nuts...even though i was sopcasting it. I thought Katsidis would win, then he got dropped twice in the 1st and I thought he's gunna get TKOd in 1. Then he fought his way back and I thought he would win! Then his corner told him to step it up and he ran into a great counter shot. That KO was awesome, perfect left hand from Casamayor.

this is the factors involved to make this risky choice
opponents:diaz has a huge resume of opponents
francisco lorenzo jose miguel cotto randy suico lakva sim acelino freitas julio diaz

katsidiz only wins are against amonsot and graham earl in both fights he was hurt

conditioning: katsidiz has never gone 12 rounds while diaz has

defense/chin: katsidiz defense is poor and his chin is questionable plus his face gets cuts really easy
diaz defense is good and his chin is great hes faced many big punchers and has only been dropped once in his career

offense: katsidiz is a world class puncher but by no means a one punch ko guy amonsot and casamayor were dropped but never out cold
diaz victory is assured by his speed and his combinations on a guy with such a poor defense like katsidiz hes gonna be landing 4 5 punches combos easily

and finally this is on katsidiz hometown of texas

my prediction diaz tko 9 after eating too many combos the ref stops it

I can't help it to think something is wrong with boxing when you had 2 great fights early in 08: Casamayor-Katsidis and Nate Campbell-Diaz but the losers are the ones who are fighting first, and each other.
I'd rather see Casamayor-Campbell but don't think this will happen. Who are those guys fighting anyway? If they are scheduled that is...

Casamayor is fighting Juan Manuel Marquez and Cambell is fighting Joan Guzman
