Thread: Katsidis vs. Guerrero & Winky vs. Macklin on undercard to Morales/Maidana

Katsidis vs Guerrero Set For Maidana-Morales Card - Boxing News

I guess GBP had to stack the undercard after signing a main event like that.

Is Golden Boy Promotion icing JMM out? With a fight card like that, who can JMM fight?

This is a fight card I would pay for just for the undercard. In fact it impresses me more than the main event. I think Maidana blows Morales away unfortunately Hope I'm wrong though!!

I like Maidana a lot and he his def the younger, bigger, harder hitting man here.

But he has horrid footwork, balance and pretty shakey defense.

Morales has forgotten more about boxing than Maidana will ever know.

So he may have a shot. Albeit a small one.

Looks like a great undercard.

am I the only one who yawned at this?
I mean really...

I would watch if it was free.

You yawn at Katsidis vs. Guerrero ? A potential FOTY. Okay.

Morales is gonna have hell keeping Maidana off of him especially @ 140.
Maidana has proven he has a decent chin.And will take shots to give.
His chin is his defense.
I read someone say Its Maidanas accumulation that breaks foes.
I really don't think at this point Morales needs to experience an accumulation of any thing especially hard shots from a young rascal who punches with intentions.
It's a shame GBP would send a Mexican Legend out on a suicide mission knowing Morales is a shell of his former self.
I would have rather seen Gurrera or Katsidis fight Eric @130. And since its all in house match Ortiz vs Maidana 2.
If Maidana needs an opponent that bad.
I kind of like the Ortiz/Berto matchup but Ortiz needs to do something Big @40 first.
Although,Katsidis vs Gurrera is main event material.That could be electric.

Did anyone else notice that Jhonny Gonzalez wrote the linked article?

I'm stumped on Wright and Morales even being on PPV Guerrero vs Kats has potential. I seriously think Guerrero still has some mental make up issues if anyone can exploit it its Kats. Just wonder if Michael has 'settled' into his seemingly new found role as opponent and coming up short...I doubt it.

Maidana is stiff and predictable and the blueprints out on him but a walking wrecking ball. Morales is a legend....an old, unsteady and all heart legend. Maidana will smell the blood early and really break through Morales badly and brutally for tko.

Agreed,
Yourdan seemed to get to Gurrero with pressure and then crumbled when cut.
You have to wonder how he will handle the kind of pace and pressure Katsidis brings.
Katsidis brings the heat but he's vulnerable enough Gurrero may compose himself to dig deep long enough for opportunities to knock. .
I want to say Micheal only struggles with cagey counterpunchers, but then I'm reminded of the time he was soundly out boxed by Juan Diaz.
I think its a toss up if Gurrero stays within himself and doesn't get too discouraged.
None the less I'd like to see this fight but probably won't buy it unless it has a card like GBP put on a few years back
Called Lightweight lightning which featured Katsidis/escobedo and the desceased Valero.

I am excited for Winky's fight!
