The public likes to judge fighters on last performances which comes as know surprise that early money on Katsidis has moved the line on Katsidis from -150 to a -220 favorite at BodogLife.com. The public also loves brawlers like Katsidis often overlooking weaknesses defensively in fighters in favor of KO power.

Despite the fact Michael Katsidis barely got by a B- level fighter in Amonsot in his last fight, Katsidis was a heavy 4-1 favorite going into the bout.  Casamayor got a gift as a 5-2 favorite in his last fight against an underrated fighter in Jose Santa Cruz. Casamayor however was coming off the longest period of inactivity after a 13 month layoff. Cruz is a tough Mexican that was basically a no-name and he heavy line was very rich for a predictably rusty Casamayor.

The OVER\UNDER is at 10.5 rounds at  BodogLife.com with the OVER at -170. Michael Katsidis is a big puncher and a bleeder however and I see value in the +140 UNDER. Casamayor seems to be at the end of the road in a career that has spanned 400+ bouts and he might be ripe for a KO loss at the hands of Katsidis.
