I had Diaz winning but much closer than the idiots at HBO,C'mon Papa had it 11-1 Diaz in rounds!!! Diaz certainly won,but Katsides closed the gap late and came up short.I think a great fight at LW is gonna be Diaz-Guzman and would be an interesting mesh of styles.As for Katsides,a move to JW would do him good I believe and a all Greek matchup against Aranoutis would be exciting to watch.Comment

This was a lopsided fight. I don't see how the fight can be scored for Katsidis. I thought Katsidis won one round clearly maybe you could score another being generous. But this wasn't even close. The judges are too ****ed in boxing. This by no means was a close fight.Comment

Diaz won...good thing nobody took my bet.
Katsidis was not his usual fighting self...too timid, maybe because of the Casamayor experience. Only started pounding the body by the middle rounds. No shame losing though, he gave a good account of himself..no way is he overrated.Comment

One of those fights that leave a sickening feeling in your stomach as to where we are STILL at with blind judging. I think Diaz lost a little something during that brilliant performance which was only overshadowed by the judges, not his fellow competitor. The judges robbed him of the VERY unanimous decision he seemingly worked incredibly hard for and executed to a T. Hats off to Kats for showing great heart and sportsmanship. As for the judges, I think they should all be suspended and forced into question about what they saw and HOW they scored it as they did. Well done Juan, can't wait to see you in action again sir!Comment

Katsidis won one round. The 9th that ledderman gave him as well, he was outlanded by almost twice the punches. So to give him two rounds your just being nice. If anyone gave Katsidis more than 2 rounds you simply know nothing about boxing. That was one of the most lopsided fights I've seen in a while that was supposed to be competitive.Comment

Two very good fights tonight
Yes, good fights, but I thought that in the Juaraz-Barrios fight there was a "hometown" ref and judges. Barrios was very unlucky as he was winning big. Yet the ref didn't allow the one more rd even another 5 seconds would have brought the rd end, giving the corner time to patch him up.
Imagine, the judges had Juarez winning easily...........??
In the Katsides- Diaz fight it was very close and could have gone either way.
This fitht was notable for Lennox Lewis....Why Lewis you say??
Well he had a tough job, and I think it "got to him".Whilst he was frantically trying to avoid dropping too many "aitches" he became so bemused, that he dropped the clanger of the night. I wonder if anyone else noticed it.
He said, very seriously, in the middle of one of his learned "efforts".......
"Well...one of these two is going to be knocked out, and it's going to be either Diaz or Katsides........"""
Christmas has arrived early, so I'm sure you'll all forgive me if I give a loud
"Ho HO HO"......
As many of you know by now, I can't stand Lewis.Comment

I only gave one round to Katsidis. Diaz dominated that fight with technique. I still believe Katsidis is a great fighter just that he didn't seem as focused as before. I guess Katsidis thought that Diaz would be no problem because he doesn't have the same KO power as him. I agree with some of you on here, Diaz should go for Joan Guzman next (if he beats campbell).Comment

Just like Max Kellerman said...This was supposed to be one of the most exciting fights of the year. But the fact that it was so lopsided made it less exciting...Comment

The two fighters gave a great performance. it was Max Kellerman who gave a sickening exhibition of his bias. He was so busy telling the battered and bruised fighter that he couldn't understand the judges giving him more than a round or two, basically telling him how bad he was and how good Diaz was. After the poor guy fought his heaert out.
Kellerman, put your eyes back in their sockets and GO AWAY..Comment
