Juan Diaz Wins Split-Verdict Nod Over Michael Katsidis

[Dan...]

I'm not sure it was as lopsided as ppl are saying. I scored it 116-112 for Diaz but I could live with 117-111 or 118-110.

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..

I agree kellerman is a bit of a **** and I wouldn't much care if he got the **** out of the HBO team.

NO, he was completely dumbfounded that ONE JUDGE actually gave the ENTIRE FIGHT - - - - TO KATS! Max is a little ****er but as I voted in another thread, he's growing on me.

Both were pretty good fights. Barrios cut looked nasty! I dont think Juan Diaz can beat the elites in the division, but he can sure put up a fight with them.

Max!!!!

Man you gotta love MAX KELLERMAN!!! That dude tells it like it is! Lewis is an idiot but he was on point as well. Like Max said the fight had the potential to be the fight of the year but due to it being "LOPSIDED" it was just a good match! Diaz did what he said he would do. I enjoyed the fight and I REALLY enjoyed how Diaz handled himself when being pushed around so to speak. He had some killer combos. Now he just needs to work on his PUNCH power and he will be truly be unstoppable.

I see your points. I didn't really care for the dude at first but as time went on I really look forward 5to what he will say. Right or wrong I like how he just says what he wants to say almost as if he didn't care of the repercussions. BUT right or wrong its just an opinion and I LIKE to hear his. LEWIS gets on my nerves I think he knows what hes talking about BUT just cant say it.... lol. He had me cracking up last night... Anyway like you said both were great fights.

I also dislike Kellerman. I hate how he does his post fight interviews. It seems as if he thinks that he has all the answers and ignores half of what the boxer says.
If he was so sharp he would be a trainer or something instead of being a 2nd rate commentator with a background in ****ty rap songs about boxing.

Max used to be cool to me. Now he seems like a prick that tries to hard.

Judges almost robbed Diaz in his own backyard....was an easy fight for diaz but the scoring was horrible.... i like Kellerman, he tells the boxers what we the fans are thinking at home... he can come off as a prick no doubt but he gets his point across regardless of how awkward he makes it .... and the way he put Katsidis on the spot and made his Trainer seem like an idiot was classic but at least the public got to know why they thought they had won the fight.... Wait about a year or two and Kellerman will grow on you

Czar Amonsot mangled Michael Katsidis' face more than Juan Diaz.

and what does that prove? Katisidis gets cut with a slap on his face, it dont mean ****, specially when you get your ass beat. ****** pinoy, why havent you blamed his gym for losing the fight? ****ing idiot.
