Juan Diaz has just recieved his big upset from the current champion Nate Campbell and Michael Katsidis got a big upset too from Joel Casamayor by an unexpected Knockout.
I think Juan Diaz is more technically sound, quicker, and has a much better defense (his career Compubox +/- ratio is better than Jones and Whitaker's and only 2nd to Mayweather's) but that nagging bleeding cut really screwed up his whole mentality and gemplan against Campbell, that combined with Katsidis' even more destructive relentless attack to the body and head seems to be a bad style mathcup for him. Diaz is a fighter who outworks and breaks down his opponent with volume and pressure over time. Katsidis is a fighter who charges at his opponent with constant haymakers looking to destroy his opponent at all times with pressure and power.
Whoever wins it's gonna be an absolute war, but I see Katsidis scoring a late round KO when Diaz takes one too many shots after Katsidis gets his face mashed up worse than ever before by Juan Diaz' constant barrage.
