Joan Guzman vs Joel Casamayor is being work out for Mayweather undercard May 1st

[Violent Demise]

Guzman should of lost his last fight. He's not the fighter everybody made him out to be. He's fast but has no power what's so ever. He'll start fast and get some rounds. But Casamayor will than take him to school. Casamayor is clearly not the great fighter he once was. And he's coming off a sub-par performance against some bum. But that was due mostly to rust. He did the smart thing by taking a fight as soon as possible. He's been in this situation before. He looked rusty and shot against Santa Cruz and was lucky to get an unjust win. He than quickly sign to fight against the than undefeated Michael Katsidis. Who was super hot and had people like Max Kellerman nearly hyperventilating whenever he mention his name. Casamayor showed everybody how shot he was when he took Katsidis 0 with an 11th round knock out. I expect a similar performance from Joel.

VD im pretty sure Casamayor did not look that impressive against Katsidis. He had Katsidis down early and could not finish him and then was nearly knocked out himself in the later rounds and I think he would of been stopped if Katsidis hadnt of made a novice mistake and rushed into the 11th round against a boxer of Casamayors calibre.

Most fighters Casamayor age would not of got back in the ring and continue fighting. They pretty much would of been counted out. And Katsidis doesn't make that mistake if Casamayor didn't sucker him into it.

if this fight goes through as mayweather vs. mosley undercard, this event definitely one-ups pac clottey.

I think Casamayor takes this one late, for all the defensive wizardry Guzman is known for he has no offense to keep Casa honest. If Funeka was able to walk through Guzman's jabs and left hooks, there is no reason to think Casa can't do the same. The next obvious thing is to point out Casa doesn't have the volume of Funeka, to that I say he has something much more important pinpoint accuracy with a short left hand.

Guzman is going to look like a phenom for about 3 rounds.

Casa will start landing some meaningful shots in the mid-rounds

Casa will stop Guzman in the championship rounds.

There is NO way in hell this undercard is going to have even a +/-1% difference in attendance or PPV sales. Nobody would pay a penny to see these two has beens duke it out for the "King of Past Prime"!

A lot of people wrote off Guzman b/c of his last performance. Guzman is a very slick boxer. I think he was doing pretty well against Funeka until that nasty head butt shut his eye. He really could not see the punches coming anymore. It will be interesting to see what he's got left after his gift of a draw last time out. He'll get by in this match just based on the fact Casa won't be able to bust him up like Funeka did. I'm pretty sure of that.

Guzman has been boxing forever! In fact, He and Casa may bring in just as much if not more ring experience than Jones-Hopkins!
