Do you think JOEL CASAMAYOR is done?

[RightCross94]

Is a guy like Juan Diaz just too busy for Joel at this point?

Yeah, definitely. Diaz isn't one dimensional and easy to handle, he's quick as hell, flurries, and has a huge workrate. I think the fresher Casa of a few years back could have weathered the early storm, came back and timed Diaz with counters, and possibly beaten him. But now, Casa is just too old and not fast or energetic enough to keep Diaz off. Diaz gave Marquez (who has much, much more in the tank than casa does) absolute hell early on, forcing Marquez to throw more leather than he ever had just to stay in there. Casa just doesn't have it in him to throw that much leather, and he doesn't have the legs to get on his bike and outbox Diaz, and even then he would need to fire off plenty of jabs and throw punches.

Yes. American English is my second (third?) language. So it's colour, favourite, theatre. Sorry.

Cool,is there a big DR population in the UK?(or Rican or Cuban for that matter?)

[Silencers]

We'll have to see when he gets back into the ring, I thought he was past his best since he fought Santa Cruz, maybe the knockout loss was the nail in the coffin. We'll see.

I think he is close to done and I believe katsidis would probably beat him in a rematch. I've always thought of casamayor as the bad guy, he does all those little things to bend the rules, but he is/was really good. Very crafty. I think he can still beat some good guys, I'd like to see Casa/Diaz and Casa/katsidis 2.

casamayor is shot. he should retire

Sn I detest Michael katsidis, I want the lasting image of seeing him KO'd by my fav fighter.

I do not want to see Casa punished in his old age. I don't want to go through the Pernell thing again.

Or that godawful night when Winky un-manned Trinidad.

He looked pretty good against Marquez I thought. He can beat certain guys still. Not a Juan Diaz. Maybe a Valero? He still has pop in that left hand, and he's tough to knock out.

[LeftHookDonaire]

he looked good enough against JMM to compete at the top level still

he should not retire on that loss imo

What the hell are you talking about? Casamayor is done in the Santa Cruz fight.

[LeftHookDonaire]

i think he is. how old is he now? 37? 38?

don't reply if you don't know ****.

casamayor started getting cooked by santa cruz, he started frying vs katsidis only to land a miraculous counter lefthook. Marquez put the finishing touches & seasoning on him, if he fights someone like valero, that fork will be stabbed with the quickness & he will be done.
