Nice fights at Lightweight are finally happening.

[C-Lo]

Casa vs JMM: This is a tough one for me to figure out. I think I would favor Casamayor. His dirty fighting might bother JMM. Not to mention, JMM would be moving up and Casa surprised me with how many times he knocked down Kats and not to mention how he ended it. 135 + Casa may be too much for JMM.

Campbell vs Guzman: Like people have been saying, depends on which Campbell shows up. Guzman would box circles around him if he doesn't bring his A-game. But even if Campbell is fighting well, he would have to chase Guzman around the ring.

Kats vs J. Diaz: I don't see Diaz winning this fight. Both are young exciting fighters. Both coming off losses but Katsidis impressed me more. When faced with adversity, Diaz folded and took an old-school beating. When Katsidis had his back against the wall fighting Casa, he fought aggressively and fought his way to the lead in the scorecards AND knocked Casa out of the ring. With the way both men fight, it would be a war, I can see Diaz winning early on, but Kats won't go away and then the tide will turn. Kats with a late stoppage.

I could've swore that due to promotional purposes, Casamayor was set to fight Juan Diaz?!?! Did that fall through?
