    On a good card even with a few drop outs. I think Katsidis might have a bit too much for this bloke who is 36 years old and has been fighting since 1994.

    Thoughts?

    i ordered this today... good fight, i think Mick will make this guy quit on his stool or it goes the 12, i dont feel a KO here... Chavez is crafty and very very tough but the pressure will get him i think

    Yeah same i do not see Chavez quitting, a corner retiring him maybe
    But Chavez is a good fighter, imo more skills than Kats but just old atm.

    Should be good and close

    Reading his book atm

    Also saw an interview with chavez, he stated he thinks kats does not have a great chin, but thinks he has good offence.

    Im not to sure bout this figfht, i first thought kats would win being bigger and stronger, but chavez is a good fighter, depends on how old he fights imo

    True, Mexicans usually quit after the 10 count, the towel has been thrown in, the doctor advises the ref., or the hearse arrives.

    Tough fight for Kats. He'll kick goals in this bout........ hopefully. His style of attack is perfect to disable a 36y/o... although 36y/o isnt that old anymore.

    Kats KO9.

    For those of you who want an updated card:

    Julio Diaz (36-4) vs Rolando Reyes (30-4)

    -Should be a nice return for Julio Diaz and even though I don't know a shitload about Rolando, from all accounts it's still a decent opener.

    Vincente Escobedo (19-1) vs Carlos "El Famoso" Hernandez (43-7)

    -SHOULD be a break out party for Escobedo. After his first loss he's railed off 9 straight wins against less than stellar opposition. He's facing Hernandez whose 6-4 with losses against the likes of Jesus Chavez, Bobby Pac and Kevin Kelly. El Famoso is tailor made for Escobedo and chances are unless Vincente chokes, he'll stop Hernandez and early. That said this is a massive step up for Escobedo and with a veteran fighter you always run the risk of a potential upset. I'd still put my faith behind Vincente to potentially stop a past it and potentially uninspired Hernandez.

    Michael Katsidis (24-2) vs Jesus Chavez (44-4)

    -Should be a fun little war. I think it'll be very close and sluggish til about the midway point with both fighters wailing away and trying to put the other away. We've seen Katsidis hurt a bunch of times so Chavez will always have that famed punchers chance. I figure by the mid way point the better conditioned and better winded fighter (Katsidis) will pull away with it late. I don't know if it'll be a stoppage or a UD win for Katsidis but I see him pulling it out.

    Edwin Valero (24-0) vs Antonio Pitalua (46-3)

    -The fighter with the most to gain on a GBP PPV is a Top Rank fighter. Go figure eh? Anyways this is the fight that will help boxing fans paint the real picture on Edwin Valero. Protected limited skills KO artist or future P4P contender? Say what you want but Pitalua isn't a soft touch, he's got 14 wins in a row NONE have gone the distance and he's coming off a tremendous upset win over Jose Armando Santa Cruz. Honestly? I have to imagine that Valero takes this one. I think it'll start off rough for him (considering that he's been fighting less than stellar opposition) and Pitalua will probably try to frustrate and rough Valero up a bit. I think Valero will eventually catch up with him and put him down around 6 or so.

    i am worried that katsidis might succumb to cuts actually, when i think about it his facial damage is awful by about the mid rounds
