I just watched this fight again and cannot see Earl possibly winning. Apart fro the flash KD kats received and a few good shots here and there the fights was all Katsidis.
Pay day between friends , Kat's has had a fair few tough battles recently so who can begrudge the bloke a work out in front of his fans back in Aus ? As for it being Earl , Who would you all rather Kat's fight another Argentinian road sweeper ?Earl will put everything he has left into the fight , As for the twat wishing Earl THAT sort of ending ? well you are probably watching the sport for the wrong reason i reckon .
Having 1 or 2 easy pay days in Australia for Katsidis to build some confidence is fine by me after some of the hellacious wars he has endured. The 2 big names in Australia haven't taken anywhere near the punishment Katsidis has against Pound4Pound opposition. Its when he takes easier fights for the 5th or 6th time in a row, or only fights 40+ yr olds, or claims to be the man/greatest or makes bull**** retirements/comebacks then it becomes a problem with me.
It's abit of a no win for Rocky...sure he'll get some good battin' practice in but the media will have a field day with it and every kunt will be comparin' the mighty Katsidis to ****en Mundine (**** poor opponents wise)....our only hope is that Earl has a red hot go...even gets on his bike for a few rounds....****...for the first time I'll be prayin' against a 1st round KO...
Agree with you also Kegsy, no problem for him to have a couple easy fights, the blokes been in a few wars back to back so he has earned it. There is also plenty of GOOD oppertunitys and future fights for him here in Australia. Katsidis vs Leonardo Zappavigna , would be a good fight. Katsidis vs Will Tomlinson, would be a good fight. Katsidis vs Billy Dib, (yes dib fought Shaw at 135LB) I dont expect none of these blokes will be lining up to fight Katsidis anytime soon
How about Sol Egberime..... his name has been in the mix, he wont say no He is top 5 ranked in the WBO
you have a point and i may of gone off a bit in this thread its only because hes my favourite fighter.hopefully Earl is just a one off **** fight for Katsidis.
IF he takes a dive :roll: but he wont so there's no need for concern is there! You must think I'm evil :angel
