Im going with the minority. I pick Casa in an exciting tussle that resembles a turtle futilely chasing a hare.
I think a lot of people are underestimating Casa because of his last fight with Cruz. I'm pulling for Kastidis in a UD.
Joel is a old boy now so I reckon Katsidis has a good chance. I wonder what will happen though if Katsidis wins? I would most likely try and get Campbell before someone else throws some green his way.
I gots to go with Casa here. Way too much skill, tricks, experience, and yes dirty tricks at that. Casa is old so that makes this very interesting because Katsidis has a good shot. But I just can't see Casa losing a decision to the brawler here. I'll be pulling for Katsidis big time. I'd love to see him with Diaz, Campbell, Pac, etc..., he's a fun fighter and Casa is hard on the eyes. Still got to go with the technician specialist Joel Casamayor.
hmm... if kats wins, does he become the lineal champ @135? afaik, casa is still currently considered the lineal champ, right? :huh
Yeah. He still holds the Ring belt and is considered lineal champ. He doesnt deserve to be though after the Santa Cruz fight in which he clearly lost but got the decision.
****it. 50$ on Casa at 2.75 and 25$ on Casa by UD at 4.50 I really don't know much about these 2 fighters so its really a gut bet based on the little i know. Seems to me like Casa is being overlooked and might come out strong in this one with the possibility of a big multi-million dollar fight looming as the lightweight division is heating up
I can see your point but I think you're under-estimating the damage done to Earl in that fight and also Khan's ability! I fancy Katsidis for this one to set up a real entertaining bout with Amir in 2009!!!
Smart bet is on Casamayor on points. Bwin has it 4.5 and I expect sportingbet to have it at least 5.0 in a few days... HUGE opportunity to make good money on a small bet...
