Edwin Valero Vs Michael Katsidis

katsidis may well be physically stronger

although he has been stopped and taken a ton of punishment of late, so his chin may not be as intact as valeros

will be a HELL of a fight

make it happen

Edwin Valero would probably win... Katsidis fails me every time I think he can win.

Katsidis for all his heart is too easy to hit. And his taking a beating in his loses. Valero going to knock him out if the fight happens. Katsidis to me seems like a face first brawler and his punching tehcnic isn't all that good, he doesn't get good leverage on his punchs taking a lot out of them.

Valero seems to be making a lot of noise lately...Lol...Btw, what do you guys think between a fight between Katsidis and Valero? For sure, thos wont last 12 rounds. Both are heavy bombers. The question I think is who has the better chin. Whoever can take the others best punch should win....If I have to take a pick, Ill choose Katsidis within 6.

Your thoughts?

valero is still unproven and katsidis isn't that good. I'll go with katsidis for now.

Valero would probably beat him but Valero still hasn't proven anything. He has only made noise because hes been talking **** about De La Hoya and his ko's against mediocre fighters. I like Valero but he should shut his trap till he proves something in the ring thats note worthy.

That is hard to do when some people aren't willing to fight him. Kind of like Calzaghe and Margarito. People attack there resumes, yet as far as I know both of them tried to fight the best. The best just did there best to avoid them.

Its a bit hard to envision who would remain standing after the fight. Lets see...Valero is undefeated but he has been dropped by Mosquera who is not exactly a heavy hitter...Katsidis, as mentioned above is a face first brawler and has been dropped by Casa multiple times in the 1st round....and Valero loves 1st round KOs....Well, until Valero proves he can hang with upgraded opposition, ill stick with Michael for now. ;P

true man but valero has time on his side, hes still relatively young, iv not seen alot of him but a clever boxer with a decent chin could do a job on him imo.

as for him and katsidis - WAAARRRRRR!!!!

lets get it on, theres plenty of good fights yet to be made in the LW divsion

Im not really buying it. Tons of solid well known fighters at 130. Half of it probably has to do with Valeros ban from US boxing but I don't think anyone has ducked him. He got his license in Texas though so we shall see whos ducking who soon.
