Marquez will make Katsidis look like an MMA class striker

[El Chicano]

Katsidis is very over-rated in my view; I don't understand why he gets so much hype. Marquez will embarrass him.

He had Casamayor, but got caught, lost a decision to Juan Díaz in TEXAS, had a FOTY (IMHO) with Amonsot in 2007, and is a very entertaining fighter with lots of heart.

Katsidis is not overrated - and I believe that's not a fair comment to make.

As Mario said, he was on his way to beating Joel 'till he made a foolish mistake and got caught rushing in.

His gameplan for Diaz was all wrong.


He's not overrated by any boxing scribe so I don't know where you're getting that from.

He's a solid, aggressive fighter with certain flaws.

Are you claiming he was robbed against Diaz?

[PEBBLES!]

Katsidis wasn't robbed vs Diaz.

His gameplan was wrong and Brendan Smith was giving him the wrong advice, imo, during the final rounds.

Katsidis has made a fair few improvements over his losses to Casa and Diaz, but he still gets reckless at times. Mitchell was tagging him on the backfoot but simply wasn't good enough to keep the rampaging Aussie off him. If Kats can maintain his composure whilst still applying that relentless aggression to Marquez he can very well beat him. Just hope JMM doesn't make him do a Peden. That was disgusting.

I mean seriously, how is Katsidis supposed to beat JMM? Both times the kid made an attempt to step up his game, he got beat up. And that was against the two guys that Marquez knocked out. Casamayor schooled him in the art of "ass whooping" and the Baby Bull outhussle him. Marquez has the skill and ability to do both. Should be entertaining while it lasts because Katsidis is too dumb to do anything to prevent the ass whooping he's about to receive; he'll walk into counter power shots all night. Marquez will reduce him to the class of the MMA striker, i.e., ineffective.

What an arrogant, unaccurate post. Schooled by Casa, watch that fight again where Katsidis took over the middle rounds and almost had Casa quit with great body shots when he knockded him down. Kats made an ambituous mistake and got caught by a great fighter. " Katsidis too dumb"....who the **** are you?? You ever talk to Kats? I'm sure he's already amounted to more in life than you ever will. There was a much better way to get your point across than disrespecting someone like that behind a computer screen and keyboard. The boxing world needs more Katsidis types.

STFU! goof. It will be a good fight either way. Don't watch it then you ****in clown. Katsidis is the manditory. What is he just supposed not fight the guy becuase you say he's not good enough. Katsidis is a warrior and will put up a good fight either way. Show some ****in respect ***ot you are'nt half the man Katsidis is.

No.

Juan Díaz won a split decision in Texas.

Kats is not overrated.

[mariobrotherpr]

Don't get worked up about Juan Díaz fighting in Texas!

I mean, the judges are very fair there. No bias at all.
