Guzman to fight Katsidis?

[GAME]

I think everyone are selling Katsidis way too short, he showed some inexperience against Earl but overall he was mightily impressive, he's a destroyer. I think this is another potential fight of the year baby, but I'm going for a Guzman UD. Maybe Guzman can coax EM out of retirement if he wins this, that would be a beauty.

I just think its a huge jump up in class from Earl to Katsidis . Remember the Aussie was on the floor in that one so I think he's in trouble here

EM = Erik Morales
I know Katsidis was on his a** against Earl and rocked in a few spots, but even Graham Earl was a step up for Katsidis in that stage and he coped pretty well, I'd liken it to Hatton getting put down and rocked again a round later by Eamon Magee, or Cotto getting nailed by Torres, it usually happens to upstart world class contenders. I think Katsidis size and power will always give him a chance against Guzman, potentially he could be one of the best.

Thats what I thought but Erik isnt retired . He is fighting David Diaz for the WBC lightweight title in his next fight .

Hatton and Cotto are alot easier to hit than Guzman . Joan has a defence rivalled only by Pretty Boy Floyd . His reflexes are superb and I dont think Katsidis will land a glove on him . I could be wrong but it took several flush shots to finish Earl and Earls defence is pi*s poor . Guzman wont take that many and when he does he can absorb them

At lightweight? you really think?

Yup I do . Earl did for a few rounds and that was when he was taking clean shot after clean shot . I dont expect Guzman to have to absorb that many but he has the whiskers to if they do come at him . Ive never even seen teh guy buzzed or fazed by a shot

Yoitsdan - I duno if I agree with you here

Katsidis is also untested and clearly capable of finishing off anyone

He had opportunity after opportunity to finish off Earl . He even tried the uncharacteristic flurries but in the end the corner had to stop it despite his best efforts. He is inexperienced at finishing fighters with abit of class . Guzman is a defensive genius and even if he does get hurt which I doubt I cant see Katsidis following up being able to catch him again . Joan is in total control of everything he does so he'll cover up , do the shoulder roll , let Michael punch himself out and then come right back at him .

He'll be too quick and classy for Katsidis and im almost certain he'll make it look easy too .
