Thats seams like a odd fight :huh
Kat stepping up to 140lbs.... why would he?
Surely Lovemore cant make 135lbs.
Anyone else heard of this fight?

i think thats a little harsh, most considered Casamayor shot as shit and look what happened. Chavez is still a test and a good opponent for Rocky after coming off a loss. He could quite as easily faced a nobody

He was beaten by a very good fighter and had Casa down in the fight.

Love watching this kid fight , brilliant balls out sort of lad a throw back if you like ,my only concern is he won't have a long career the way he fights . if he sorted out his defence it would be at a cost though , entertainment wise . he needs to make a decision soon , stay fighting like he enigizer bunny on billy or adapt his style to include an iota of defence to prolong his earning potential and World title hopes.
Triple Delete this horrendous mistake.

He needs to go PBF style, he has the ability to pull that style off effectively.
Surely you're pulling the piss?

The lightweight scene...
Katsidis IS fighting Diaz, Sept 6 in Houston Texas on HBO and you can take that to the bank.
Cassamayor will get stripped of his WBO belt for failing to sign to fight Nate. Instead it's Cassa v Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept 13 in Las Vegas.
So Guzman becomes the new mandatory challenger so it's Nate Campbell v Joan Guzman. Date to be confirmed but looks like Aug/Sept.

3 great fights. JMM is a welcome addition to the scene. I give Katsidis a great chance against Diaz. His power will always keep him in it.

I knew of this fight hence the thread starter (similar title to this, I thought this WAS it lol), but couln't make an official statement out of respect to the source. So I just left it as not being Jesus Chavez.
You guys tipped it was Diaz anyway lol.

Awesome, FOTY material right there.
I hope JMM shits all over Casa too.
katsidis is a great boxer he just wasnt on his best on the night but its taught him a lesson and given him valuable experence which he will take into his next fight ,hes far from done and Im shore that after watching the tape of the fight he will work a bit on that defence.Also look at some video of him training he trains bloody had and hes only gona train harder

Rocky Road For Michael Katsidis: Battler From Oz Rejects Not So Golden Offer For Juan Diaz Houston Comeback Bout On HBO!
Michael Marley
6/20/2008
The hunt resumes for a comeback bout opponent for Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz in his hometown of Houston.
Boxing----------.com has learned that Australian tough guy Michael “Rocky” Kastidis balked at the size of the purse that was offered to him by Golden Boy Promotions. The promoter is now embarking on a dragnet to find the proper foe to bring the former world lightweight champion back into the TV spotlight against.
Diaz has his three titles removed by upstart Nate Capmbell when they fought this past March in Cancun, Mexico. Diaz’s manager-trainer, Willie Savannah, was in the midst of a lengthy feud with Diaz’s then promoter, Don King, when Campbell scored the upset.
Golden Boy felt that the one-dimensional Katsidis was a "safe" opponent for Diaz who is proably more mentally batted than physically from Campbell's took him to school effort

Hmmm, how much is Katsidis asking for? Yeah, Katsidis is ducking here. . Kat i am upset do not back out. Take this fight mate. I think he wan't out cuz he know he'll have the toughest in his life and prolly lose back-to-back against Diaz.

Katsidis has been waiting to fight Diaz for a while. He allowed him to unify the titles by fighting nate campbell, on the condition that he fought Katsidis next. Both of them lost so they had no obligation to each other.
I think we need to find out exactly what was offered to each fighter before we comment on his decision.

the balked offer was just tensions over the weekend, Katisidas and his trainer agreed to it today.

Katsidis needs to fight like he did from R2 - 9 in the JC fight for a whole 12 rounds. He was really nervous in R1 in that fight and it almost cost him the fight... he can't afford it this time!!
Hopefully we see him improved and he takes Diaz out under 12!

a tough fight for Rocky. It shows balls stepping up after your first loss and choosing a hardened opponent. This is what world boxing needs. Good fighters taking each other on. Not ducking to keep their records 'loaded'.

Agreed, thats pretty much the reason he is one of my favourite fighters. Isnt scared of taking on the best and he was pretty gracious in defeat last fight, Hope he beats Diaz if they do end up fighting.
