What a great fight this is on paper. Another one that I cannot decide on. I was just listening to Buncey's William Hill podcast and Big Daddy has got Marquez to win by stoppage. Who wins and how?
JMM all the way in a physically competative fight. However Katsidis is the wrong guy for anyone who wants to have an off day. He pushes you all the way and with his brothers passing it could spur him on more (if that is possible). If JMM is underestimating him, not in top condition or slightly past it then despite being a better fighter it could result in a loss.
Marquez has seen it all before. I don't see what Katsidis can do differently do what Diaz did in his first fight with Marquez. JMM is the best counter puncher in the business. Katsidis will be a bit more methodical that normal but Marquez will catch him with one of those uppercuts at some point. After that it'll be a matter of time. I say JMM 6th rd tko
Really can't look past a JMM win. I'm thinking a stoppage late on, with Katsidis having his moments due to JMM not having the speed and reflexes of his prime. I'm hoping Kats can pull off the upset though.
Marquez is an awesome fighter but I would love Katsidis to win and get a world title. That said, Marquez is just too good a fighter technically for a guy like Katsidis, I think he'll beat him up and win by stoppage rounds 6-9.
Marquez by easy TKO, with all due respect to Katsidis he is a warrior but he is more of a brawler marquez loves to counter punch and Katsidis will get too keen looking for a convincing win/KO as decisions don't usually go his way unfortunately but when he comes forward he will get caught purely coz of Marquez's accuracy and skill
Kasidis power advantage might give JMM hell he was loosing early doors to baby bull in the 1st fight before adapting and cutting Diaz which swung things his way. Tuff one to call if the drubbing by floyd has lowerd what marquez had left then Katsides might be in for the biggest win of his career.... Still i think JMM might just win it on points with both hitting the floor
