Juan Manuel Márquez Vs. Michael Katsidis
The Marquez vs. Katsidis boxing match was considered to be one of the best fights of 2010. Marquez had slowed to the point that he almost seemed to prefer getting into slugfests where he could still use his excellent counter-punching accuracy, while Katsidis had never been one to turn down a blood-drenched war. Background Lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez agreed to fight Michael Katsidis at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on the Las Vegas Strip on Nov. 27. Marquez (51-5-1, 37 KOs) had decisively won a rematch with Juan Diaz on July 31 in his first fight since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their 2009 bout.
