WBO No.1 ranked lightweight Michael Katsidis gets a crack at the interim lightweight title against No. 4 ranked Vicente Escobedo on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather Jr – Juan Manuel Marquez clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on September 19. Marquez is the current WBO lightweight champion. [details]

Escobedo by decision

Does that mean that the winner gets a shot at Juan Manuel Marquez?

Definetly should be a good fight. I lean towards Katsidis, possibly by late KO

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Escobedo by decision

No Sr.

Escobedo will get TKod by Katsidisz!!!!!!!!

I doubt it, JMM will most likely vacate the title because he is going to be campaigning above lightweight from now on since the big names are up there.

Definetly should be a good fight. I lean towards Katsidis, possibly by late KO

definitely going to a war.

The whole fight card is gonna be sick!!!

Katsidis by early KO. If this fight goes down people will see how over rated Escobedo really is. He is just the next installment of the GBP hype machine to fall off the tracks. His comp has been either a bum, small, old or a combination of those traits. This fight will be over fast.

I like Escobedo...sometimes fighters seem to get old overnight, but Escobedo seems to have gotten REALLY GOOD overnight.
