Despite the fact that Joel Casamayor is officially listed at 36 year-old, I know the fighter personally and he is 40+ and now is limited to fighting in spurts. Despite his old boxing age, Casamayor is one of those fighters you can just point towards the ring and he is as comfortable fighting as he is watching TV on his couch. BodogLife.com has Michael Katsidis as a -225 boxing betting favorite in Joel Casamayor vs Michael Katsidis.

The modestly built 5'7" Joel can do a little bit of it all stylewise: Counterpunch, in-fight or box all with a high degree of skill. Joel isn't a big banger but he hits hard enough to get his opponents attention and he is accurate from tricky southpaw angles. Casamayor knows how to use subtle defensive insincts to avoid punishment while bullying, frustrating, and roughing up his opponents with a variety of dirty tactics.

Despite his mastery of the sweet science, Joel is content personally with his life, and in a tough fight he is now willing to let a hungrier foe pile up points and outwork him. Despite his suspect training conditioning and dedication, Joel is durable with a great chin and can fight when tired making him difficult to stop by KO. BodogLife.com has the OVER\UNDER at 10.5 rounds with the OVER at -170 for Joel Casamayor vs Michael Katsidis.
