Michael Katsidis To Force Juan Manuel Marquez Title Shot

[MJ406]

I want Kats to win he gets too much unnecessary hate and is very underrated on this forum. I have a bad feeling this fight won't happen because Marquez's ppl know this is a risky fight, some fans don't realize how risky it is for Marquez.

it's very risky for Marquez.

but if JMM can get back down to 135 without trouble I think his accuracy will wear down Kats enough so Juan can win by late stoppage.

JMM aint no kid. This moving up and now down will affect him. It will be a good match but
i think Katsidis might be able to pull it off now. I love JMM but he did struggle a lot vs DIAZ. This troubles me when I come to think of this fight.

I only gave Marquez a single round against Diaz. In some parts it looked like he was getting clowned in there.

Are you being serious ?

That fight was really close early but you could see Marquez getting the better of Diaz as the fight wore on.

We all saw what Casamayor did to Mike. And we all saw what Marquez did to Joel. Marquez is gonna absolutely murder this boy. Brutal KO, it'll remind me alot of the Diaz/Marquez fight like a fight of the year canidate but Marquez will be leading throughout and finish in impressive brutal fashion hopefully setting up a huge fight with Bradley or Hatton down the road.

To me, it looks closer than it was. After each round except the 8th, I find myself giving it to Diaz - and I don't even like him that much anymore.

I know, I know. Subjective ways to score.

This will be a good fight if JMM decides to take it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the WBO say that JMM had to give up his title if he didn't make a decision on what he was going to do after the Floyd fight. If I remember right, I thought they said that JMM had a week after that fight to decide what he was going to do.

I don't mind if JMM doesn't go back down to 135. But he needs to pursue a fourth title at 140 if he is not going back to 135. However I wonder if that Floyd fight has took some hunger out of his belly, and now he is just in it for the money. And as far as Katsidis's chances go, I think he is a live dog in the fight because we don't know how much that fight with Mayweather affected JMM's confidence, and Katsidis appears to have improved his boxing technique. Sure, JMM beat Casamayor. But people need to remember that he may have been softened up in that fight against Katsidis like Lampley said. The only fighter that I think could give a more grueling fight to JMM at 135 is Soto. Guzman is dangerous too, but his style is non crowd pleasing, and JMM gains nothing from fighting him.

Hopefully Marquez doesnt sit on waiting for the Pac/Cotto winner crossing his fingers in hopes that Pacquiaos looses.

I would like to see Marquez fight Katsidas, Campbell, Soto, Valero, Bradley, the fighters that are actually in a weight class he belongs.

Kaktsidis is a fucn Lame, this ****** fuc ain't even close to bieng on Marquez's level. I know Mayweather beat JMM's ass but he'll still school this Lame. ***** ass couldn't even get past Escobedo in a dominating manner and Escobedo's a fucn bum.

I give katsidis props for wanting this fight but i think its all a big mistake for him JMM is to slick for Katsidis
