Diaz-Katsidis officially signed and set

Diaz-Katsidis Update!
The lightweight world title showdown between WBA/IBF/WBO lightweight champion Juan Diaz and WBO interim champion Michael Katsidis is on after Diaz signed on to fight Katsidis in February. Katsidis signed the contract last week. If Diaz had failed to sign, the WBO would have crowned Katsidis the outright title holder. Katsidis’ manager and trainer Brendon Smith said Katsidis is currently in the United States preparing for his clash with Diaz. The fight is expected to land on HBO February 10 at a site to be determined.


Should be fun

I'll go with Diaz late TKO, maybe cuts

CC for the heads up, thanks. Been wanting this one to happen, should be alot of fun. I agree, late TKO, probably due to cuts. Maybe UD.

CC back. Yeah I'm pretty confident Diaz will win. Anything can happen but Diaz won't have to look for Katsidis and should break him down IMO. I worry about Diaz getting caught in between like an 8 punch combo or something but he should beat Katsidis.

Yeah, there is some chance Kats could hurt Diaz at times, but that out of this world workrate, accurate punching and surprisingly fast hands will wear Kats down in the end, and he will be cut. How bad I guess we'll see; but I could see it stopping the fight. It won't be a lazy mans fight though for sure, and I can't freakin' wait. And it'll be right before the Taylor/Pavlik fight, to help amp me up a bit ;D

Another great fight to look forward to, what happened to boxing being dead ??? Yea right. I'll take diaz by his usual mid to late stoppage.

Great matchup Diaz will batter Katsidis.

Agreed this will be a slaughter im not overly excited like the rest. Even though Diaz is one of my favorite fighters at the moment, this is just going to be one sided beating.

If Graham Earl can drop Katsidis on his pants imagine what Juan Diaz will do. ;D

Great match-up. Can't be anything but a cracker.

I'll take Katsidis for the upset..

..not really.

Diaz will stop him after Katsidis has shot his bolt.

Diaz will stop him. I have alot of respect for Katsidis, and I think he's a great fighter but he'll lose this one.

YAY

This is gonna be very entertaining.

Any ideas of venue/date?

February 9th.

Beautiful.

I'm pending on delivering ur 3rd CC Ice.

I thought I read that it would take place in Juans home state of Texas...

I think it will be competitive enough to be exciting. I just think Juan will take over in the mid rounds. I'm not a fan of Kats but I have to respect him for wanting the fight enough to take an 80/20 pay cut.

Im a big Kats fan but i fear he is jumping into this fight to early. Juan has great work rate and accuracy and will bust up Kats face big time. Czar Amonsot could and he is not even nearly on Juan's level. Katsidis only really has a punchers chance IMO. Would be good if he could catch Juan early, that'd make the fight more interesting.
Kats is in the Gatti mould. Great to watch but against the best will come up short.

Explosive is all i will say on this one!! Go the K Man

EXACTLY!" WE should ALL respect Kats for his attitude. He was offered an 80-20 cut and rather than cry and moan and whine like alot of these fighters do nowadays(recent examples-Manny and WInky),he took the old school approach and took the fight.No ifs and buts,no hesitation. SHould be an exciting fight,Kats has a chance imo,but a slim one. I find it shocking that his skin cuts up so easily at such a young age! His face is going to have more scarring than Daniel Zaragoza's if it carries on like this.

BTW,am I the only one that thinks Don King is crapping all over Diaz. He wasn't even interested in the purse bid and does not promote Juan's fights at all!

For the record Kats is my bwoy!!! and I want him to win. I hope he wins.
But I'm gonna say Juan stops him on cuts or Kats eye will be to swollen and the ref will stop it after he determines Kats can't see anymore.

I no nothing of Katsidis and some knowledge of Diaz i said if Diaz would find a Guy that could take a puch and Ko power he would get knocked out see if i was right or not.

Katsidis is one of the most P4P exciting fighters around, Check out his fight's with Graham Earl and Czar Amonsot. They are toe to toe war's in fact i've seen quite a few of Katsidis fights and everyone i have seen they are entertaining you can't go wrong.

I think Katsidis is one of the most exciting Australian fighter's of all time right up there with, Jeff Fenech and Jeff Harding etc.

Save the pic. to your computer
Then click on 'Profile' which is at the top of the Saddo page next to My Messages... Then click 'Forum Profile & Layout' from the list to the left of that.
Then it will say 'avatar pic' click where it says "I will upload my own picture" then theres a [Browse] button to the right of that click the Browse button and look for the picture on your computer.
Simple... :)

Believe it or not I figured it out :laugh: Usually have my girlfriend help me :-[ Thanks guys, CC's to ya' ;) Wish the picture was bigger though :-\

Everyones avatar pictures are the same size.

If your saying the picture that's on your computer then go to his website and you can get the larger size picture there. :)

Thanks Legion...
Yeah! I've been very fortunate to have attended some events where some of the biggest stars have turned up...
I'm working on my second video right now with some of the pictures I took at the Hall of Fame.
Margarito is always cool he signed some stuff for me and was cool to talk to.

What was Mayweather Sr. like to talk to? I would think he is pretty cool to chat with if he gave the time to do so. Look forward to your next one ;)

Funny as hell, cause by the time he moved on to the next sentense I was still trying to figure out what he had in the 1st sentensce... ;D

Sr. was funny and was making talking to me about his young fighters that he's training.

LOL; I could imagine he's difficult to follow at times :laugh:
