However, he is facing a guy in Juan Diaz who is smart beyond his years with a very similar to Michael Katsidis. It should be shoulder to shoulder, with Katsidis being the bigger man but I'm not so sure the bigger man wins out here. Diaz is absolutely relentless, well paced, and now that Castillo has moved up, fights better on the inside then anyone in the division right now.

Katsidis makes for the interesting prospect of Diaz being pushed backwards for the first time since we've seen him, but I still see Diaz as the better here. I can not wait for this one as a big fan of Juan, and while I've only seen the Earl fight on Youtube, I like Katsidis too.

Love that this is being made, not only does it unify two titles, but there is no way there is a dull moment in this one.
I'm amazed how much credit you are giving him. He's just taylor made to get taken apart by Diaz. I'd still fancy former 120 lber Guzman to step up in weight and beat him.

He's all offense but he has no defense at all.

If they fight Diaz will kill him.
