Baby Bull vs The Great Katsidis...

[Morrissey]

This is one fight a casual boxing fan will surely enjoy.

I would expect a non-stop exchanges of haymakers, combinations, slaps and everything they can throw to one another.

I hope this happens this year.

Btw, I would pick Diaz. UD.

[errsta]

I think the Baby Bull would outclass Katsidis but it would be a fight worth making.

What B.A.D. used to be all about.

Yeah Haymakers, Juan lands em, Kats doesnt cause he has no defense, or coordination, or skill. :bart

[Chileno606]

Great fight...I'd favor Diaz to win by decision slightly, but Katsidis is so tough and strong he has a very good chance of winning. Katsisis has good handspeed for a power puncher and throws short straight punches...I dont think I've seen Diaz fight anyone like that. I think its entirely possible for Diaz to get Blitz'd early if he doesnt stick to strickly boxing and moving.

[brooklyn1550]

Diaz by decision, but you can NEVER count Katsidis out of a fight. I just think Juan is technically more skilled and tough enough to fight Katsidis when need be.

[CarltonBlues]

Katsidis because he's Aussie.

[Dekkers]

Katsidis because he's Aussie.

Good enough for me :bbb

[C Money]

Nuff respect to Katsidis, he's a tough bastard. Yet?? The volume, accuracy, superior skill, and stamina for Diaz leaves a stoppage on cuts as the most likely conclusion, IMO.

Again, i take nothing away from Katsidis and believe that boxing, fans, and fighters are well served by this matchup!!! It will undoubtedly be exciting, action packed, and blood filled:good

May the best man win as surely the rest of us WILL in watching:happy

[knockout]

Diaz by ud.

That is underrating Katsidis a lot.:-(

[Carlos Primera]

i'm going katsidis, that war with amonsot made me a fan of both.

[El Bombasto]

both are relentless come forward fighters, but there's one big difference katsidis has power

Had a rough time with some glass jawed example in Czar Amonsot. Diaz also has a tighter defence, more experience and will open his skin up like a stuck pig.

This is an easy one.

[BoppaZoo]

me being honest here. now alot would say straight out me being Aussie i will pick Katsidis to win no matter what.

Well this is not the case i ticked the Katsidis box to win in the poll.

but if i was a man that was in say in a Tipping comp (#1) i would pick Diaz in a war.

Diaz UD 116- 113 something along those lines and im a Katsidis fan.

but please this fight wont be boring.

[Pimp C]

Diaz would outwork a game Kats to a UD win.

[psychopath]

This will be an exciting action fight. It's gonna be good until it last.

Baby Bull will stop Kats on the later rounds.

[HandsOfGold]

Katsidis is not world class. Diaz is.

This is an easy one.
I don't think Amonsot has a glass jaw. He came in very ill prepared and just got hit with a very well timed and to be honest "lucky" punch in his only other loss. Katsidis was landing bombs and Amonsot never looked like quitting. Diaz will beat Katsidis by out working him, and by using that jab to great effect. Like he did against Cotto, Diaz can box when he needs to, and Katsidis will eat a lot of jabs. In close quarters, Diaz is the better combination puncher but Katsidis has more one punch power as well as the tighter more accurate punchers. I expect Diaz to win by a decent margin, but it will be a war, and Katsidis will get plenty of opportunity to land power punches. He will have to increase his work rate from his last bout if he is to have any hope of coming away with the win. One thing that Diaz needs to do is shorten up those punches. His hooks are quite wide at times, and against Katsidis who stays right on your chest, these will not land effectively.

[MacManJr.]

The Baby Bull of course!

This is an easy one.
Amonsot doesn't have a glass jaw (Despite what BoxRec says - And I don't think the KO loss was ever shown, which says a lot about you), and Katsidis won almost every round. Yes, Katsidis got cut badly, but only one was through a punch. That fight was one-sided, although Katsiis' face tells a different story.

Katsidis has his faults but is better than most non-Aussie fans think. His lack of skills are covered by his physical attributes. Strength, stamina, power, chin etc.. You can pick his style apart all day, but you could for Foreman too, so lets not judge him too harshly.

[Hawks28]

man this would be an entertaining fight. I was just thinking about this after the Katsidis Amonsot fight. I think Diaz takes this one. Katsidis would make make him work for it though.
