Katsidis takes Casamayor in March! (POLL)

Kats for me. He's determined and has youth on his side. Cassa was "old" in his last fight. Cuts might be an issue for kats though. Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi!!!

Casa didn't look good v Chico,didn't look good v Santa Cruz and I think Kats is more dangerous than Sant Cruz,though still limited. It'll be a close fight,I'll take Kats on points,maybe SD.

hmmm... I see most of us think that Kats is gonna take this by shear force. I agree... I can't help but hope that Casa is rejuvinated for this fight. I do like hime but he's just seemed so lithargic...

Katsidis will try and END Casamayor, but Joel will put the young buck in his place. Casamayor on points.

The think about Katsidis is even though he is strong and a good puncher he has trouble with slick fighters and lacks defensive skills. He barely beat his last opponent and looked ok against Earl but not elite by any means. Casamayor, aside from his last fight has been competitive on an elite level. Whether or not Katsidis can be is yet to be seen. Even if he beats an old Casamayor, he will still have a lot to prove imo. He has a ton of heart, his ego is a bit large though for someone in his position at this point in his career but I wish him well. Aside from the hype and his exiciting style, nothing sets him apart from many other prospects hes just lucky enough to be televised.

I agree with that post,but I think Kats is better than Sant Cruz,and look at the trouble Joel had there. Even if it was ring rust,he looked poor v the totally weight drained Chico before that too.Personally,I think the age and inactivity has caught up to Joel.

Kats is ordinary in most areas bar 2:he seems to be pretty darn heavy handed and his skin cuts easier than any other young prospect I've seen! He's on his way to matching Daniel Zaragoza's record for scars from fights"!!! I mean no offence,but I never heard from Tsar Amonosot before his fight with Kats yet he gave Kats a beating!
