Is Diaz vs. Katsidis a case of an irresistible force meets an immovable object?

I don't think so; I see The Greek walking through Diaz's punches and eventually imposing his will. That is, if he doesn't bleed to death first.:rolleyes:

How do you see this one going?

:confused:

He can walk through the punches, but like you alluded to, bleeding could and possibly will become a problem.

Katsidis can't try to emulate a Margarito type plan and expect to not get cut; and Diaz throws a ton of punches, so this could conceivably be stopped due to that alone. Going to be a fun one, but I think Juan will get a UD.

This will be the 1st time I've rooted against Kats; as I like Juan alot and he's a Texas boy, so gotta go with him. He could get knocked out though. Will be interesting to see how they both come back after their 1st losses.

I worry for Kats a bit. Bleeds too easy, and gets reckless. God he is fun to watch. Even tho he lost to Casamyor i think he improved in that fight and going up against a veteran like Joel can only teach him some tricks.

Heart says Kats by brutal KO, head says Diaz by UD, or cuts TKO.

I agree. It should be one hellava fight, Very fan friendly. These guys have monster heart muscles.

Juan Diaz.....
I really like him, but despite what holmcall said, he seemed to get very disheartened during the Campbell fight. Juan is a volume puncher, he has little power at the elite level, so I don't see him cutting Katsidis as much as people suspect.

Katsidis has power, heart and determination. I suspect he'll attempt to avail of Juan's pressure and throw plenty of his own more powerful punches. His defence is awful so he'll certainly catch more than a few.

A brilliant fight for the fans.
I'm rooting for Juan, but he will have to show more of a plan B than he did in the Campbell fight or he'll take a beating from the Aussie powerhouse.

I hope you are right as I am in the Greek's corner.

I dont think either is an irresistablke force or an immovable object as proven in their last fight but I think it still makes for a good clash of styles.

Maybe it was experience that cost them vs the slippery veterans but to lose this aswel would set them back a fair back. Kats is the more inexperienced and raw of the two . Diaz seems to have better composure and boxing brain. Kats is a better puncher but also has the weaker chin but the decising factor for me between these two is that Kats has very poor skin . His face wont hold up . Everytime I see him fight he looks bashed up even when winning so if this fight gets physical and Im sure it will , then Kats will be the 1st to go .

Diaz TKO 10

Before Diaz lost I would have put Diaz down to win every time, even against someone like Katsidis. Now I could see Diaz losing, but I think he will win with the RSF due to a bad cut on Katsidis late on

On balance, I agree. He cuts too easily and Diaz thows too many punches.
