    Only problem is he is trying to continue to move up in weight. At 140lbs I fear he will be used as just a name to put on the resume for guys like Kahn.

      I'd like to see him in against Maidana. I could see Maidana running into his straight left.

        I honestly thought he was before this fight, he had a very disappointing performance beforehand against Santa Cruz and got the decision when he should have lost.

        He's always been a smart excellent boxer though.

          Maidana packs some force too. Its a dangerous fight.

            To me, he didn't train at all for Cruz. After hearing that Cruz was his former sparring partner, I saw why.

              That probably was it, hate to hear a fighter maybe lose passion for his job.

              I think M.I is right about the Khan thing, they just want to put Casa on the kid's resume.

                Very good fight.

                I actually wouldn't mind a rematch between them although Casamayor hasn't looked the same since the Marquez loss.

                I would favor Katsidis now.

                  A rematch would be interesting. Only problem is I'm not sure how many people realize who great the first one was.
