I love both fighters...but I honestly believe that it'll be a bit less one sided than you think ICE.
That's just me though.
Katsidis is exciting no doubt but he has shown major flaws against lesser opponents, that an elite fighter like Diaz will be able to take advantage of in a big way. Diaz's handspeed will be too much for Katsidis and he will be stopped in the later rounds but he will be stopped on his feet and going out on his shield like the warrior he is.
Okay...here's where I'm at with this.
Diaz is an accumulative fighter...basically never stops throwing. Katsidis is a pressure fighter with more heart than he's got brains.
Neither have a defense worth a shit.
Juan's defense is basically his offense.
I think that Katsidis will get in close & beat Diaz up pretty badly...but not badly enough to knock him out or down. On the other hand...Katsidis's chin is sturdy & if his ass hits the mat...his heart (not his head) will bring him back up.
While accumulation may be the key to stopping Katsidis...it won't be easy...nor will it come with out a price.
Katsidis aint as much of a one trick pony as he seems...he just needs to use his head instead of his heart & we could have one hell of a fight in front of us.
I'm still leaning on Diaz though.
I will NEVER bet against him.
NEVER.
...as long as we don't see Guzman on the same line of a poster as Diaz.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
