    I dont doubt his chin, and to be honest for Kat to win this he has to make this fight ugly. Work the Body and clinch, frustrate the **** out of diaz, he hated it when Campbell did it.

    Not really, I see your point but Campbell moved laterally very well(something not in Katsidas' programming) used a solid jab and timed Juan fairly well(more things not in Katsidas' programming) and besides clinching and fighting dirty is not Katsidas' style.....mainly why I'm a fan:good

    Its not dirty haha, well Katsidis cant outbox him. He only knows one way if you have seen the graham Earl fight, thats how i see him trying to fight Diaz. Obviously nhot as easy. But Diaz cant help but brawl.

    Diaz rsf10 Katsidis

    Katsidis is a good prospect who's been been pushed to fast, IMO.
    He's still too green, and should not be fighting the likes of Casamayor or Diaz, just yet.
    Diaz, like casamayor, will expose his lack of experience at the top level,
    and bust him up for a stoppage around the 10th.
    Katsidis can punch though, and has a big heart. So he can't be written off completely.
    Definately gonna be a good fight though, perhaps even a great one!

    Diaz is going to win but I hope HBO will still provide Katsidis some slots on their network.

    Katsidis is a give away fight for Diaz.

    Except for the action, the outcome should be predictable by now for all of us who have seen their respective fights.

    Both fighters will be in top form and determined like never before coming off a loss. Diaz wins but I think he will have some trouble along the way:yep

    What does Katsidas have to do to somehow pull out a victory?

    Besides get a face that doesnt cut easily:)

    Earl was shot to pieces and never a puncher. But it took Katsidis 5 rounds to get rid of him, compared to 1 round for Amir Khan a few months later, and Earl nearly took out Katsidis with one punch.

    That doesn't speak well of Katsidis' power or chin.

    If he tries to fight Diaz like that, getting knocked out again is the likeliest outcome.

    Yeah but by your theory Earl was shot even worse with Khan so it's normal he finished him in 1 round,no fight resembles the other.Khan would gate beat bad by Katsidis if they'd fight tomorrow
