Joel Casamayor (36-3-1, 22 KO’s)Stops Michael Katsidis (23-1, 20 KO’s) in dramatic fashion at in the tenth round at the Morongo Casino somewhere in the California Desert.

In a brutal fight, Katsidis was dropped twice in the first round by the former Olymipic Gold Medal winner. Both knockdowns were caused by hard lefts.

Katsidis was able to recover well and turned the fight around. He began to catch Casamayor with some vicious, punishing rights.

Katsidis pressure seemed to be taking a toll on Casamayor. In round six, Katsidis hammered Casamayor with a left uppercut the body that hurt Casamayor and had him moving like a Weeble Wobble. He then followed up with a big right and left that sent Casamayor through the ropes and onto the ring apron.

Casamayor was able to recover, but the fight seemed solidly in Katsidis favor.

Round ten, Katsidis shot out of his corner like a missle throwing punches ment to do serious damage. Casamayor then caught him with a stunning counter left hook. Katsidis fell like a piano being tossed out of a window.

Katsidis made it to his feet, but Casamayor swarmed to force the stoppage.

Casamayor wants Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera next. He might have to settle for Nate Campbell.

Katsidis, has proven himself to be the heir-apparent to Arturo Gatti. True blood Warrior.

Pete Rock ft. Papoose – comprehend

Manny Pacquiao wins by split decision in rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez

Some thoughts:

1. Even though I picked Pacquiao to win, I scored the fight a draw. Either way, the fight was so close, that either man could have won.

2. Marquez’s reputation only rises after this fight and he once again has proved himself to be a true warrior.

3. Complaining about the decision is futile (unless of course, you are using it as leverage for a rubber match). It was a close fight. I have seen at least ten thousand worse decisions in boxing.

4. They are talking about not having a third meeting between the two fighters. My experience says they will have a third fight. They might just wait a little to build it up.

5. Pacquiao’s left is one of the most violent punches in boxing.

6. This fight was a classic.

7. Jasmine Villegas, the girl that sang the National Anthem, is a future star.

Pete Rock – Till I Retire / Best Believe

Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao VS Juan Manuel Marquez II Prediction

Manny Pacquiao (45-3-2, 34 KOs) of General Santos City, Philippines, rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez (48-3-1, 35 KOs) of Mexico City will take place on Saturday night at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

The fight fight between the two warriors ended in an action packed majority draw in 2004. Marquez was dropped three times in the first round by Pacquiao. Marquez came back and dominated many of the succeding rounds to force a draw on the judges cards.

This fight should begin where the first fight left off. Look for a quick start by both fighters. By the middle rounds, I think PacMan’s training with Freddie Roach will start to pay off.

I have see a few of Manny’s workouts at The Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood, and he has never looked sharper. Pacquiao tends to throw straighter punches than Marquez and because of that he should be able to beat him to the punch.

Don’t take anything away from Marquez however. He is a true warrior that for sure will come to fight.

Manny’s sharpness in the later rounds are going to give him a close, rough and tumble unanimous decision.
