Diaz-Katsidis and Barrios-Juarez Predictions

Anyone still deluded enough to believe that boxing needs a competitive heavyweight division in order to thrive should tune in to HBO tonight for a serious wake-up call.

Fighters like Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis are smaller in stature, but they embody the type of fighter that has kept, and will continue to keep, boxing alive and very well indeed.
