I see no clouds and nothing but sunny days this coming fall and winter in the Lightweight division. This coming September all of the top fighters of the division will be in action.....AGAINST EACH OTHER. The "Lineal" Champ Casamayor will be up against JMM, The Galaxy Warrior takes on Guzman for all of those belts, and maybe one of the most entertaining possible matchups conjured Juan Diaz fights Katsidis.My predictions are as follows: JMM>Casa (Casa has shown some vulnerability of late and JMM is technically one of the very best) Campbell>Guzman ( I find this a very hard fight to predict. When it comes down to it I like Campbell's versitility and ability to adapt to a fighter over Guzman's speed) Diaz>Katsidis (This one will sure to be a bloodbath. Two relentless fighters who only move forward. Gotta go with the Baby Bull and his accurate punching to eventually stop Katsidis late.) If this forecast turns out to be accurate the fights that I would like to see come to fruition are as follows: JMM vs Campbell ( Lots of belts on the line in this one. Hard fight to predict but I'll go JMM Pac vs Diaz ( Pac gets to continue to fight Mexican opponents and sets up a mega matchup with JMM) Thoughts
Watch Campbell-Lorenzo sometime. Same Lorenzo who Soto beat from post to post last night. It should show you why Guzman should be a lock to beat Campbell. Two things really bother Campbell - size and speed. I doubt Campbell will be able to deal with Guzman's speed. Also, I can see Guzman making it a very boring fight, making Nate chase him all over the ring.
This is how I would like for it to pan out.. 01. Pacquiao vs Campbell/Guzman in a unification bout 02. Pacquiao vs JMM for the lineal title 03. Pacquiao vs Hatton
pleaseeeee. The Lorenzo fight was Nate's last at 130. he actually couldnt make the 130, and the fight happened at 132. He was DEAD at the weight. He couldnt have beat my sister that night. Since moving up to 135, its a whole different Nate.
