    This fight pretty much looks a go.

    Katsidis is mandatory fighter for JMM vs Juan Diaz.
    Maidana has got a back injury.
    Devon Alexander is fighting Andreas Kotelnik.
    Timothy Bradley is fighting Abregu.

    This is a 'stay busy' fight. Khan wants a fight before Ramadan and then wants a long break as he said before. In no way did he have to fight and he wouldn't have anyway fought this quick so people shouldn't really criticise the opponent.

    Not that I'm a fan of the matchup at all, but it is what it is.

    This is likely going to be the double header for the JMM-Diaz HBO PPV

    I was planning on going if he was fighting Katsidis but I'll give this one a miss.

    That's a Good fight for Khan for now!! But he needs to KO Casamayor. He needs to do better than JMM. Then after that He can take on JMM also.

    Once upon a time, Casamayor was one of the Most Avoided Fighter. This is not easy fight for Khan.

    Come on Laz, you should know better than believing that pile of junk.

    But I really hope it's not a shot Casamayor - the dude would have fought once in almost 2 years by the time July comes round. Khan will pound him easily, and earn very little respect in the process. Come on Katsidis, take the ****ing offer!!

    Everyone's busy but damn this fight sucks...........Presscott would have been better. He should at least fight a limited puncher like BP to avenge himself instead of freaking no punch washout?? I don't want to get on him but DAMN. COME ON.:-(

    There's another source aswell bro. But looking at it realistically, it looks likely man.

    Katsidis wants JMM-JD winner.
    The others are injured.
    On short notice, this fight will happen.

    i personally expected katsidis to beat him. makes sense for prescott to win a big fight before gettin his shot at khan, maybe on undercard again.

    as a tune up this fight is pretty good actually.

    really?

    he had a bad performancs vs santa cruz but that is it. he was equal with marquez up until the tko. he bladdered katsidis.

    i dont expect him to beat khan but as a stay busy fight it is pretty good. better than him not fighting anyways
