I'm backing Casamayor

[:::PSL:::]

I dont understand the hype surrouding Katsidis. He barely got by Amorost and showed in that fight that he can be outboxed and outsmarted. He is strong but his skill is limited. He throws good punches but doesnt know how to put himself in position to throw them especially against a good boxer. Hes a solid basic fighter who hasnt been tested yet and ontop of that he cuts easily. Casa of a few years ago would beat him easily. Now, im not sure, it depends on if he has anything left. I give him little chance against Campbell or Diaz if he wins this one unless hes improved a lot.

The Katsidis-Amonsot fight was prolly the most brutal fight I've seen in decade.

Michael was bleeding in the outside, and Czar was bleeding internally.

i got katz on this one. casa got the skills but he's been lazy and over confident lately. i think he gets caught in this fight and down he goes.

Nate Campbell was 23-0(21) before Casamayor dealt him his first loss. A lot has happened since that fight five years ago, but Katsidis 23-0(20) might have the same fate and get outboxed. But, like Campbell, he can rebound if he does lose to Casa. It all depends on what Casamayor shows up. Casa has been down this road many times before. Katsidis hasnt and that may be the deciding factor.

I'm taking Katsidis on points. Nobody has ever stopped Casamayor before. And neither will Katsidis

[BoomBoom]

Casamayor, like Amorost is a southpaw. I think Katsidis has problems with southpaws and good boxers. Casa isnt what he used to be but if hes more prepared than he was last time out he will pull out one last good performance and outbox Katsidis. Just wait till sunday, people will be saying Katsidis is overrated. Casa will make him look bad.

i think it's going to be casa by decision or kats by stoppage.

Casamayor is going to be the best & most experienced opponent Katsidis has ever faced. Although he is not what he used to be he knows every trick in the book & like Hopkins is known to bend the rule to his advantage. Katsidis is gonna be in the fight of his life the whole way IMO! His power is his greatest advantage, if he can pressure Joel throughout without getting to cut up or damaged he maybe able to take over in the championship rounds as Casamayor fades. I can't see a KO but Katsidis could take the decision.
