JMM - Katsidis: FOTY Candidate or Mismatch?

[KnockUTheFukOut]

I don't like the Hatton-Tzsyu comparison.

Hatton was a relatively fresh fighter, never really been in a wars prior to that fight. No FOTY candidate, didn't have the paper tissue skin that Kat does. And, JMM is not as inactive or injury prone as Kostya was. And, Kostya wasn't the master counter puncher that JMM is nor did he have the offensive arsenal or the intelligence of JMM.

your are talking about other stuff I am talking about in the ring and I am talking about how I think the match will play out, I think Katsidis will make JMM look his age, JMM in his Prime would be able to fight going backwards the entire fight and catch Katsidis all night but I have doubts that he can do that for 12 rounds if he has to against Katsidis...but we shall see...I will be going for JMM but I think a lot of people are not giving Katsidis his due or they trying to downplay him because they are bigger fans of JMM regardless of the fight with Diaz and Casamayor, Katsidis is still a good fighter and just because they was able to do certain things against Katsidis does NOT Automatically means that JMM will have the same success

I think It'll be kinda the Marquez-Diaz fight in the sense that on the surface its a FOTY type of action slugfest, but when you rewatch it you realize the vast majority of the damage was being done by Marquez before the stoppage.

Marquez KO5 in a short but sweet WAR

Nice, I like it...

I think you are giving a slugger way to much of a chance against a master boxer.

Katsidis will get his licks in for sure, particularly early on. Katsidis is a physically strong LW, while JMM is a small LW and old to boot. If he assert his strength on JMM early and some solid shots and force JMM to fight at a high tempo, I wouldn't be surprised to him hurt or drop JMM, making the fight closer than some might expect.

In the end, I think JMM will make the proper adjustments and win.

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see this stopped on cuts BTW.

Look at Marquez's face after the Juan Diaz rematch, and Juan isn't much of a puncher. You have to take into consideration that Katsidis applies pressure through head movement and he's equally as agressive as a prime Baby Bull. He's a much harder puncher too and he doesn't let off because of his great conditioning. I agree, Marquez is a master counter puncher, but he's on the slide right now, age is catchin' up and he was out of gass against Diaz in the rematch; in the mid rounds. If you can't see that, I don't know what else to tell you.

It is literally an impossibility that Kats makes it out of the fight without bleeding..

Out of gas? WTF were u watching he was in complete control the entire fight against a man 10 years his junior and if that was the case as you say i think Diaz would have gotten aggressive, hell if there is anytime to be agressive its when the other guy is tired especially in the middle rounds. I think Diaz is a smarter enough fighter to have recognized that.

Sorry man I think this is more wishful thinking than anything.
