Juan Diaz vs Michael Katsidis

[p4pking]

I went Juan Diaz KO, just because TKO or stoppage wasn't an option. I think Diaz has the far better skills and at least an equal workrate. Campbell was able to get to Diaz and hurt him a little but he has far more craft than Kats could dream of and is just as tough imo. It's not as though Campbell was the first guy Diaz fought who could punch ither.. Freitas and Julio Diaz could both bang as well. I don't see Katsidis being able to take as many punches as he should against Diaz, assuming Juan has his head in the fight. He'll give it his all and I don't expect Diaz to take it easily, but Katsidis will have to be willing to take several shots to land one as long as Juan keeps throwing them. Should be a very exciting matchup.

Campbell and Katsidis have similarities on their fighting style. But imo, Kats is quicker and hits harder.

Gotta go with the local boy. Katsidis to come back in a big way after his loss to make a statement to the world.

Im still a fan of Diaz i just think Campbell had his number that was an excellent performance from Cambell his slickness was just too much for Diaz on the inside and outside. I do think what hurts Diaz is that he doesn't have power thats why he couldn't turn it on late against Campbell. In fact Diaz reminds me of Jesus Chavez similar height and similar style etc.

Katsidis is limited but he does have power so maybe he can shake up Diaz, he certainly will have his chances with Diaz coming forward all night, someone mentioned Diaz has a bad defense, i don't think his defense is that bad for a swarming fighter, i think Katsidis's defense is far worse. Im picking Diaz by UD in a all out war with both men hitting the canvas.

Not really. Nate is the much better schooled, craftier fighter. Katsidis is about as slick as sandpaper.

You won't see much difference if Katsidis also fight Diaz on the inside toe to toe, which I'm sure he will. Katsidis will inflect more damage than Campbell did Diaz.

The volume punching of Diaz could cause Katsidis some trouble as he cuts easily. While Diaz may not have the KO power to stop Katsidis it could get stopped on cuts i guess. Katsisdis needs a big win as does Diaz so it should be a great fight.

Diaz will prove too busy an opponent and will outwork kats for a UD win.

I got Katsidis by KO.

Diaz is going to get backed up no matter how many punches he throws.

Diaz UD.

The difference is Campbell could inflict damage without taking everything Diaz threw flush on his chin. I don't doubt Katsidis will land some hard punches on Diaz, just don't think he can keep eating combinations in order to do so.

Sorry Pac but your way off here you actually think Katsidis will roll with the shots and counter like Campbell did ?? you must be joking surely bro ?? Katsidis and Campbell are about as different as you could get.

Campbell was countering?.. maybe. But he was more exchanging than countering (timed punch). He pretty much refused to be bullied in the ring. He made Diaz tasted his own medicine. It was a give-n-take fight. But Diaz was the one who's been "taking" a lot.

Campbell may be well schooled than Katsidis. But like I said, you won't see much difference if Kats fight JD on the inside too.
