    Right yeah? That avatar makes me forget what his posts are even about

    I thought the fights were good; though like others said maybe not what was expected, but entertaining nonetheless.

    Well my wife hates boxing so I watched the rebroadcasts after she fell asleep at like 2:30 in the morning. I was drifting in and out of consciousness but because I was already sleeping and trying to wake up. Juarez/Barrios was good in my opinion. Especially when you factor in a late round kayo when Juarez was the one who was losing the fight. I love Diaz. The kid had an off night against Nate Campbell but got back to what he does best against a very 1-dimensional Katsidis.

    I thought the first fight was good and then when second came on I was just uninterested. I think I don't like Juan Diaz could be it also. He has to hit you like a thousand times before the other guy feels the effect's. I don't know maybe this weekend will be better.

    Falling alseep I can understand. I've fallen alseep during action fights if I was fighting sleep going in.

    I thought both fights were rather good.

    In the first fight you had Barrios shocking the boxing world by out hustling Juarez, only to have Juarez turn up the heat and give Barrios a "Pan's Labyrinth" smile.

    In the second bout Diaz fought smart against Katsidis, circling to and fro instead of backing straight up. From round 8 on I thought Katsidis started wearing Diaz down and IMO would have gotten the win in a 15 round fight.

    I had Katsidis winning rounds 8,9,10,11,12.
    (NOTE: He was my pick to win it)

    I have to disagree about Kats, I think if it had been a 15 rounder he would've been stopped. That eye was getting ugly.
