The hunt resumes for a comeback bout opponent for Juan ?Baby Bull? Diaz in his hometown of Houston.
Boxingconfidential.com has learned that Australian tough guy Michael ?Rocky? Kastidis balked at the size of the purse that was offered to him by Golden Boy Promotions. The promoter is now embarking on a dragnet to find the proper foe to bring the former world lightweight champion back into the TV spotlight against.
Diaz has his three titles removed by upstart Nate Capmbell when they fought this past March in Cancun, Mexico. Diaz?s manager-trainer, Willie Savannah, was in the midst of a lengthy feud with Diaz?s then promoter, Don King, when Campbell scored the upset.
Golden Boy felt that the one-dimensional Katsidis was a “safe” opponent for Diaz who is proably more mentally batted than physically from Campbell’s took him to school effort.
