Juan Diaz vs. Michael Katsidis

This fight is actually very intriquing to me and shows Juan has sack jumping right in vs a very dangerous opponant.

I gotta go with my man, though.

Kats...

Picks folks?

:D I thought you were kidding when you said you were going to start a thread like this.

I'd have to go with Diaz. He'll outwork Kats in the late rounds and pull off a MD.

Katsidis because their both pressure fighters, but Kats has the power advantage. I wouldn't be all that surprised if Diaz won though.

See, although that's def valid as we've seen him do it so many times before the thing people forget is that Kats, nomatter how down he is in a fight (or ahead) fights the same way... He took the fight AWAY from Casa after being knocked down multiple times in the first round...

Juan wins fights by breaking fighters wills on the inside.

Bad fight to comeback with... Kats can't be broken!

...man we are getting some good match-up's lately, is mma keeping up ??

Still...

Kats by KO

To me Katsidis is more stronger and hit more hard , put more pressure , Campbell did that and got that Victory , i think that Juan Diaz need more Stamina for assimilate the Kat pressure , if he ( Diaz ) make good training probably could get the victory by UD..................:cool:

its tough to pick a winner, i'm edging towards katadis.

This could quite possibly be the most evenly matched since Vaqzuez/Marquez. This fight also has the potential to have the most punches thrown total in a single 12 round fight.

If I had to pick I would go with Kats late TKO, but I am not confident in that pick and this fight could go either way and every round should hang in the balance.

I'm so glad that they were able to get this fight back on track. Just last week Katsidis turned it down, because it wasn't enough money, so they must have offered him more money.

This should be a great fight, and as long as Katsidis doesn't get careless, like he did against Casamayor, I think that he should win this one. He just has to play it smart.

this is a good matchup and a good way for both to bounce back ill have to go with diaz since i think that he has a bit more experience and kat is coming off a knockout lose so you never know he could end up like hatton in his last bout with all the getting hit a lot

My heart goes with Kats, but my head goes with Katz....
