Well everybody already knew it was gonna happen, but its officially on for Nov 27th. Personally, I think Marquez will knock Kat out late.... but I'll be rooting for Kat to pull it off, and who knows maybe he can. Marquez looked faded in the Diaz rematch. He also got busted up Juan's feather-fists, so who knows what Kat's heavy hands can do to him. But still..... smart money says Marquez slowly picks him apart.
Kats - JMM is not the same fighter anymore. If Diaz had any power, he would have beat JMM instead of get KTFO
Still don't understand why people say JMM looked faded against Diaz the second time around. If you look at JMM's earlier fights, he picks apart his opponent at a measured pace unless he is faced with an aggressive come-foward opponent. He's gotten hit more recently because of his adoption of a more exciting style, but he'll never choose a brawl if confident it won't win him the fight. He looked sharp enough to deal with someone like Katsidis.
Agreed. Don't be shocked if Katsidis wins this one. And even though Kats did lose to two fighters JMM knocked out (Although Kats did beat Diaz - Texas judges are biased....think the Diaz-Malignaggi I rubbish), for me the Escobedo fight proved he had learnt about pacing himself and controlling the pressure. And don't be fooled by JMM's UD win against Diaz in the rematch, that had more to do with Diaz trying to fight a different style fight than JMM stamping his authority. Prime JMM would beat prime Kats, but sadly this is prime Kats vs twilight JMM. Hopefully Katsidis gets the media attention in Australia for the leadup to his fight, but I fear the media will prefer to focus on Danny Greens fight in November against BJ Flores and Anthony Mundines fight against Garth Wood in December:huh
Are you ****in serious? I love Kat, and absolutely HATE Diaz but..... Diaz won that fight fair n square. Diaz-Malignaggi 1 was a robbery, but sure as hell not Diaz-Kat.
I think Katsidis takes it by close decision, maybe scoring knockdowns on the way. I think both fighter has a possibility of getting knocked down, but Katsidis will knock down JMM more than JMM will knock down Katsidis. close but fairly clear fight for Katsidis.
WOW I can't believe everyone's picking Katsidis, who in truth as a come forward fighter who isn't hard to hit is tailor made for Marquez plus he lost to 2 fighters Marquez KO'd. Not to mention Marquez handled Pacquaio who is a league above Katisidis, Marquez is truly a class above JMM all the way unless he gets old overnight
I know one thing they are both warriors and that it will be a cracking war! They will both bring it! I think youth will prevail though. Kats for me.:bbb:bbb:bbb
