Katsidis vs. Valero

[Spirit]

Valero by early stoppage, a "prime" Katsidis and the today's version would both lose

[twanky1]

I think Katsidis is still in his prime,

I just wouldnt want to see him take massive shots on the chin, he doesnt have a bad chin but it aint the best either.

[ACHlLLES]

LOL @ you guys getting swept up in COMPLETLEY unproven hype.

WHO THE F@#K HAS VALERO BEAT!?!

Katsidis damn near beat Casamayor, went 12 with Diaz and just anhilated Jesus Chavez.

Weren't the scorecards close in that fight? Annihilating Jesus Chavez?

[Silencers]

I got Valero in this, he's faster and the more powerful puncher but his chin is in the air and that will leave openings for Katsidis, if he can get past Valero's onslaught, which I doubt because of his suspect defense and suspect chin, he has improved his boxing skills lately though.

lightweight... who do you think gonna survive the slugfest?

i don't know why many people is overrateing valero??
of cause this match, Valero would win.
but sometimes I heard a bull**** like 'Valero would beat pac and would beat JMM etc..'
huh, what a bull****

[twanky1]

LoL not on my (possibly biased scorecard) I tried to be aware of my bias and still only scored 1 or 2 rounds for Chavez.

When I heard the commentators say that they thought Chavaz was winning I spat my beer all over the place.

I dont know about all that but at this point in his career I feel Valero would beat anybody in the lightweight division not named Marquez. And none of them would make it past 6 rds with him.

no..I don't agree at your Comment.I'm pretty sure Joan Guzman will beat him.
actually,I think not only Joan Guzman but also diaz can beat him.

LoL, aside from overhyping Valero(although I do enjoy his fights), your also overrating his chin. The last time I remember he took a clean shot to the face, he got dropped by a light punching featherweight named Vincente Mosquera. Imagine someone with true power landing on his open in the air chin? I think katsidis has just as much of a chance to KO or hurt Valero as Valero does to him. But...Valero is a lot faster puncher and that probably makes the difference since his punch will connect first.

[talip bin osman]

if katsidis can capitalize on valero's negative tendencies, katsidis can win...

damn, he was competitive against a fine technical fighter in casamayor...

no reason he cant be with valero...
