Suprisingly I am going with Kat here by KO. Casa is pretty much done in my eyes, and I think he can accumulate enough punishment to stop Casa, probably via a TKO victory though. Casamayor so far has shown a strong chin, so it will still be an interesting fight. Would be great to see Kat grab the title and then meet Diaz for a unification bout.
Katsidis TKO I don't think Casamayor has much left and I expect him to get hit more than ever. He doesn't have the reflexes, speed, slickness, or snap he used to and I don't envision him getting Katsidis's respect. I think the pressure, volume of punches, and power will take their toll on Casamayor. A prime Casamayor wins a decision
Casa is definitely well on the slide, but is probably still a bit too polished for the raw Katsidis. Even if Kat does outbox him, I'm sure Casa can still get another gift decision
Casa has become an old man in 1 year, Katsidas has every physical advantage and is very hungry for this. Kat by late TKO
I am thinking that Rocky will be 2 strong on the day and he will cut Casamayor off and smash him with a big KO. I thought Casa lost his last fight...but somehow he got the win.
As shitty as he is, Katsidis should probably be favored in this fight. If Casamayor was just extremely rusty and is not as shot as he looked in his last fight, then he will win. I think a 75% Casamayor easily beats a 100% Katsidis. This is a really hard fight to predict because nobody knows if Joel will look better or not. 60/40 Katsidis.
