    Rocky VS Juan....I think Rocky needs to step up and find a better fighter :hey

    Man what chance does anybody give rocky in this fight?

    Lightweight is one hard division. :patsch

    We all know rocky will go in hard but Juan is one of the best fighters around.

    Juan wont KO Rocky but he will box him for 12 long rounds and win a wide UD in my view. :deal

    Got to give Rocky credit for taking this fight.

    i hope he wins by the way Kat and his trainer are talking they have been begging for the fight and they seem confident so they might see something they can exploit? FOTY... i think Kat can drop Diaz i dont think diaz will get KO'ed. Kat has the dog fight in him to take a close UD so does Diaz... Diaz does have the boxing ability the box Kat while i dont think Kat has the boxing skill to beat Diaz?

    Diaz will be favourite as the more proficient boxer with decent speed and chin and Kat the more open but stronger, better puncher.

    But pretty simple really, both clinch and brawl all night and the fight probably gets stopped on cuts.:D

    Diaz has been in with decent punchers but Kat's a different proposition because he'll throw caution to the wind more often.

    Kat's actually quite precise with his punches and if nails them cleanly enough I could see Juan go down. Both have equally savage body punches and would trade blows throughout the fight.

    Hopefully Kat can sustain all the blows it's likely he'll take, but if he refuses to consider his own well being again, it could be a tough night.

    Very hard fight for Katsidis, but ill cross my fingers he can do it.

    I remember every man and his dog screaming Jaun was the man at 135 before losing to Nate.

    So with Mike taking on Cassa and now Jaun, wow, what a heart of a champion!!! Huge props to him.

    Dont you wish the aussie public new about Mike Katsidis like they do about you know who :patsch .

    What does this kid have to do to get the exposure he deserves.

    Katsidis would be able to compete with these guys if he had a chin. Unfortunately he doesn't. Juan will KO him. Diaz has under rated power, and Katsids will be eating a lot of leather in this one.

    Yeah mate he might have a chin issue, but he did great to get his legs back against Cassa after a shocking first round.

    If he beats Diaz ill be surprised but very ****ing happy. :happy

    Why is it that when someone gets KO'd they instantly have a glass jaw?

    Under the right circumstances anyone can get KO'd especially if they are badly fatigued as Katsidis was in his last fight.

    I believe that he'll have learnt plenty from his loss although he'll have to find a new level to win this one.
