I've decided to save some money and stay home for this one. I've been to the last few Ward fights, and with the great boxing on this weekend i'm just going to stay home and watch.

How is the seating usually ? How's the undercard at Ward fights ? Good ? Mostly smaller weights or higher weight classes ?

The seats are actually really good. Not a bad seat in the house. They don't open up the upper seating for boxing, so even the $35 seats are good. The undercard are ok for the most part, usually a lot of local guys, and guys from California and surrounding states. Here is the undercard for saturday;
Javier Molina vs. Francisco Rios-Gil, 6 rounds, junior middleweights
Stan Martyniouk vs. Khadaphi Proctor, 6 rounds, lightweights
Cornelius White vs. Demetrius Davis, 6 or 8 rounds, cruiserweights
Michael Ruiz Jr. vs. Jonathan Alcantara, 6 rounds, bantamweights
Roman Andreev vs. Manuel Del Cid, 4 rounds, lightweights
Matt Villanueva vs. Adrian Aleman, 4 rounds, junior bantamweights

Re: JMM-Katsidis, Ward-Bika, Froch-Abraham, this saturday....
My picks for the weekend
Marquez by KO - I have a feeling he'll hurt Katsidis early and unlike Casamayor he won't let him off the hook.
Froch on points - I think his workrate will get him the W. He'll have to go through some rough patches here and there.
Ward on points - I think he'll get hurt sometime during the fight but will recover and win in the 118-110 range. Would be kinda funny if both of Goosen's top fighters got KO'd within a week :D

I still think Katsidis has a early KO in him. If he doesn't do it in 2 1/2 rounds, JMM by late stoppage.
Michael Katsidis is getting overrated, he's tough little exciting fighter. But this is still the same fighter who had an up and downer vs Graham Earl, and the same fighter who was soundly outboxed by Juan Diaz.
And if Juan Diaz can do it, then JMM certainly will. There's no way Michael Katsidis stops JMM early, he's got too much pride and heart.
And except for a few rough moments here and there, JMM should outbox Michael Katsidis clearly and probably stop him late on.
As for the other fights well Arthur Abraham has a much better defense, and in a shoot out i think its pretty logical to pick the man with the much tighter defense, plus i think Arthur Abraham hits harder so im going with Arthur Abraham by TKO, although wouldn't suprise me if it went the distance as both men are pretty durable.
Andre Ward will have some rough moments vs Sakio Bika, but overall he should get the job done over 12 rounds.
Cant argue with that.
Re: JMM-Katsidis, Ward-Bika, Froch-Abraham, this saturday....
This weerkend is stacked, I cannot wait. I don't care so much about the Ward fight, but the other two are potential classics.
I don't know who I want to win out of Marquez-Katsidis, so am just hoping for a good fight. I will be rooting for Froch, but it's a dangerous fight for him. If he is going to tempt Abraham with the low hands, then he better maintain that gap between them. It's going to be a nail biter.
