On November 27th Juan Manuel Marquez will defend his WBA and WBO lightweight belts against all-action Aussie Michael Katsidis at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada in one of the year?s more compelling fights. Marquez is desperately looking to keep his star status in the sport alive while Katsidis is clawing to get his first taste of championship glory.
The two men are at different points in their careers, with Marquez the well-seasoned veteran and Katsidis the young and hungry lion in this case, yet each man is coming off of a career-reviving performance in their last fight. It?s a fight that makes the most sense at this point in time for each man.
For a detailed, picture by picture look at the significance of a Marquez-Katsidis bout please continue on to the slideshow below for a showcase of each man?s career and the inevitable collision that awaits?
