Pacquiao foe wants Katsidis FORMER world lightweight champ and Manny Pacquiao victim David Diaz wants to fight Aussie rock Michael Katsidis. Diaz, a former Kostya Tszyu sparring partner, is coming off a tough decision over another former world champ Jesus Chavez, who was badly mauled by Katsidis in his previous bout. ``I would definitely be interested in Katsidis and up to the task, Diaz told ***********.com. ``Him being the WBO belt holder definitely makes it an attractive fight for me and I would like it if we can get it done. Diaz said the Chavez fight in Chicago was ``a good tough fight that we needed to have in order for us to try to get back in and get in title contention. I think we did ok. We didn't do good or great and it just showed the ring rust I had due to the 15 months I had off. ``You know its a learning experience and we will move on from there and get better and get back in the gym. Scores were 97-93, 96-94, 95-95. ``I thought the scores were pretty accurate considering the way I was fighting, he said. if JMM doesnt fight him hes got this or the England fight lined up.good to see an aussie making big noise OS.:thumbsup
cakewalk for katsidis, can have a much better payday off anyone in the division. Hope he fights hatton in england myself.
seriously?? no way! Why would HBO want to make that fight aswell? Katsidis deserves a payday, casamayor rematch? or Juan Diaz rematch? id even like to see malignaggi... but never david diaz
It's a tougher fight than what you would expect.I think Diaz is being down graded to **** status.Ridiculous if you ask me.This guy is tough, and can give Katsidis a difficult fight.
i think thats a sure thing.if JMM vacates he gets this or a big English fight he has a fan friendly style his star is on the rise..:good.Kat kicking arse overseas,Green fighting RJJ in Australia aussie boxing is looking good.oh and i nearly forgot Aussie Contendor to fight the man starts Nov 2.the ads are on fox now.Chocs face looks old and haggard i think KO number 2 is coming soon for Choc Ash.:yep
MIck wont take Diaz, he easily stopped Chavez. Hatton is still on the cards, if he decides to fight again if not it's world title time again with JMM
