JMM-Diaz 2 in the works for July 10

[Pugilistic]

All Katsidis has done is beat a shot Jesus Chavez (who hasn't had a meaningful win since 05) and get a SD win over fringe contender Vicente Escobedo. A fight in which his jaw was damn near broken. Not exactly what I call impressive stuff. A 2nd fight with Diaz still means more and is worth more than a fight with Katsidis

Escobedo fight should of been a UD. Katsidis put on a good performance and became the no1 contender with the win while Diaz just got dominated by Paulie and was even hurt by him lol.

Diaz is ruined, Katsidis is not. Katsidis fight is more meaningful.

I think there both ruined. Katsidis ain't been the same since Casamayor knocked his ass out. Only difference between him and Diaz is Katsidis has been facing hand picked opponents. After getting out boxed by Diaz (of all people) he's faced journeyman Angel Ramirez. Completely shot Jesus Chavez. And fringe contender Vicente Escobedo. How exactly has Katsidis earned a shot at the great Marquez? If Diaz out boxed him, what hope does he have to even be competitive against Marquez?

Katsidis is back on form imo.

Against Diaz, he tried to box instead of brawl which i think was to do with getting ko'd in his previous fight.

Since then though, he has gone back to applying non stop pressure for 12 rounds.

Marquez probably destroys Katsidis, but Katsidis applys constant pressure for 12 rounds unlike Diaz who dissappears once he gets cut plus he has more power than Diaz who was able to wobble Marquez.

It would be a good fight nonetheless and Marquez would get more credit for it than knocking out a guy he has already beat up.
