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

[holmcall]

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.

How do you see this one going?

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.
