Big LW fights coming up....(Diaz Vs Katsidis)
I've seen it looks like Juan Diaz Vs Katsidis is on for later this year - This is almost a certain FOY candidate......Surprised both these guys would take this fight...with no title at stake.
Both being near the top of the LW division. The winner is a must for a shot at Campbell or Casamayor - Plus we have Casamayor likely fighting JMM to...... Which leaves Campbell as the odd man out.... But there is even talk of him fighting Guzman..... |

I thought I read that Casamayor and Juan Diaz was signed and sealed.
I think Katsidis takes Juan Diaz ... I really hate both Casamayor and JMM so I have no idea who to root against in that fight. Last edited by mh2365 : 06-15-2008 at 01:23 PM. |

It's amazing how Nate Campbell gets no respect. He just worked over Juan Diaz and you figure these so called other LW's would want a shot at him.
Guzman is another guy that gets very little fanfare. He might be overrated in the power department but he's a heck of a fighter. |

That's pretty much the story of Casamayor's career. |

Casamayor (who I'm not a huge fan of ...but respect in the ring).. Has fought... A prime Diego Corrales (three times!) Each being full wars... An undefeated Michael Katsidis.... An undefeated Nate Campbell An undefeated Acelino Freitas (and was completely jobbed in the decision!) A tough undefeated Kwon Baek (for the WBA title) Tough Robert Garcia.... And there are several others that can be added to this list. His list clearly outweighs Nate Campbell or Juan Diaz in all reality.... Last edited by meade95 : 06-15-2008 at 10:10 PM. |

Really wish I would have never upgraded (and paid) for 2.5 - (1.9) was much superior in terms of accuracy of resluts (when simmed) IMO - The corner AI strategy is just that flawed in 2.5...... |

OK thanks meade. I have a new one too (relatively) as of December - a Dell.
You mentioned wargaming. Are you aware of any wargame with up to date, modern armies? I always thought having a war game similar to TB would be interesting. Let the game sim a battle if 2 modern armies ever fought & I was just curious if any such game/sim was currently on the market? |

If he was such a great fighter/champion........why didn't he fight any of the Diaz's (when they were all champs)? What about taking a rematch with Santa Cruz, Katsidis, or Campbell? Guess it wasn't in his best interest since he beat them so convincingly the first time  IMO........he made his career on his fights with Casamayor and Freitas. I'm not saying he isn't a good fighter........just not an ATG. Your lucky i'm not including the stinkers against Kid Diamond and Jose Luis Castillo (two guys he could have easily beaten with his skills). |

CMSF is a great game - (patched to 1.8) - Takes the role of a Stryker US Brigade - They have a modern day Marine module that is about to come out as well - Both taking place in a war Vs Syria - (many mods put out as well). Combat Mission: Shock Force Of course HPS Sim's have a great number (and later this year, they will be putting out a modern-day Squad Battles game/sim). HPS is more likely in the lines of what you are talking about - They have about 7 or 8 different game lines - With Squad Battles and POA 2 being very well done - Welcome to HPS Simulations, the Wargamer's True Ally BlackFoot Studios is putting out an ultra-realistic-FPS late this year (early 09) - This game will be absolutely fantastic - A very tactical (real based) FPS - Not the run and gun, shoot'em ups that fill the market today - (back to the days of the original R6 / RS) - Only with today's specs and grahpics, etc, etc - This game will be something else - BlackFoot Studios Go to the "Forums" - Ground Branch is the name - Last edited by meade95 : 06-15-2008 at 11:31 PM. |

He should have had a rematch with Santa Cruz because he lost that fight in a rout. He made up for it with that fight with Katsidis ... but in my world he isn't any kind of champion until he refights Santa Cruz. He can beat every LW champion out there right now and hold all the alphabet titles and he isn't the champ IMO until he fights Santa Cruz again.
FWIW I had the Santa Cruz fight 118-109 for Santa Cruz. |

I don't think he'll ever rematch Santa Cruz. Casamayor may be the "Ring Champion" but it's debatable if he is the very best at LW.
Granted he made up for that by KO'ing Katsidis.....but it was close fight and you can make a case for a rematch there as well. |

That Katsidis and Juan Diaz have chose to fight each other with no belt at stake is something else - Give major credit to both guys - |
