Schaeffer: Marquez-Katsidis is on for Nov. 27

[Spicoli]

Stupid, stupid choice... IMO.

JMM should have gone for the 4th title.
I sure hope his skills are enough to defeat Kats 'cuz his youth sure as hell aint.

IF he loses he will be written off as old and done.
Not to mention a fight vs. Kats will chip away just a little more off what's left of his career.
Leaving with less of chance IMO to beat Pac.

We'll see what happens.

I don't know Mick. Cant see Pac vs JMM 3 on horizon...but god know's I wouldn't mind it at 140 or less

As much as I hate to say it Imo Khan gives more difficult fight twinkle toes style & weighty issues than does face first Kats at this stage. Nope I'm sober lol. Belts are great and not saying Khan takes him but think Kats gives him just as much big local exposure,more 'fan friendly' and hard clash and If Diaz out boxes Kats...think a grey beard Jmm takes early bumps and schools him big late. From there he commands even bigger farewell,worth the roll of the dice thinking.

Fights like this are always interesting. Marquez is definitely getting on, but he still has all his skills - but you can never count out someone who can bang. Katsidis fits that bill for sure! I would still bet on JMM at this point, but it's getting close enough where this fight is enough of a tossup to cause some drama.

No matter what though, you gotta give it up for Marquez - the guy's has shown nothing but a steel pair of cojones throughout his career. That gets my respect every day.

And I'm most definitely not sober. I still look forward to this one - and I'l probably be slurping down some Crown that night, too.
