    is a BEAST!!! Yeah, I picked Katsidis to KO him but boy he proved me wrong. He was exceptional throughout the whole fight. Very impressive. Workrate was, as usual, great. Good movement. Poetry-like combinations AND he had a tight defense too, honestly I never saw any significant punch Katsidis landed throughout the WHOLE fight. Juan's defense was top notch in this fight. And last but not least, the main reason why Juan schooled Katz is his JAB. Yeah that's right, his jab was very good in this fight it was so good that he pretty much rendered Katsidis ineffective. His Jab prevented Mikey to set up anything really. He was a sitting duck out there, confused and didn't how to neutralize Juan Diaz.

    I will honestly say that I was wrong in picking Katsidis. DEAD WRONG!! I underestimated Juan pretty bad. And I deserve to eat some crows.

    Either way, can we safely say that he's easily back in the mix as one of the very top LWs today? I reckon he is, mateys. He's gonna make some noise once again at 135 and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the top guy again.

    I reckon he's pretty exciting now. I enjoyed watching him tonight to be honest. I don't get why some people are not impressed by him. What exactly was wrong with Juan?

    But yeah I see your point, if only he had more power he would be one of the most exciting fighters today.

    I told you sting. Juan would outbox Katsidis for most of the fight and then maybe TKO him later on.
    Maybe that wasnt all true but i know Diaz has great boxing skill. His jab is so underrated it makes me mad. People thinks he just swarms people but its not true at all. He sets everything up with his jab. Not to mention the angles he works.

    Yeah. well I guess sometimes you predict it right and sometimes you predict it wrong. I freely admit I was wrong this time. I was impressed with Juan and I did underestimate him(or overestimate Katz).

    Congrats on your favorite fighter winning. He deserved it. :good

    :good No problem. Hey were all human here. Nobody's perfect. Sometimes your right, sometimes your wrong. I made some right predictions before(with the Clottey-Judah the most accurate one. I predicted it down to the actual round). I guess this fight(and Barrios-Juarez) were just not my fights when it comes to predictions.

    Hey **** happens.
