1 week till Katsidis VS Casamyor with Andrade and Dib on the card... Im really upset the fight hasnt got tons of coverage here :twisted: Australian media will do a million friggin stories on a 44 yr old Fenech comeback, a story on a 55 yr old Michael challenging him and a Mundine VS Soliman rematch that is so unneccasery but i havent seen to much on this... The media should really get behind him and turn him into a huge name like they did Fenech and Tszyu... I really think he has all the makings to be a superstar: The story (being in jail not being able to get a visa to fight) the looks with the way he walks into the ring, not even to mention the style in which he fights... Even on this board id love to see less moaning about Choc and more talk about Katsidis... focus on the good not the bad! Anyways go Mic! Id love to see him beat Casa then go on to Campbell for the undisputed title and have his first defence against Juan Diaz...
I'm looking forward to the fight. Lets hope Katsidis wins. You make a good point about the Australian medias lack of interest.
For sure mate im not saying the should right a story about how hes Pretty Boy Floyd lol but i so far cant remeber seeing any coverage except for Mainevent ads... Im sure there will be a few stories in the paper this week... i hope... i was trying to make the point that with all he has you would think the media could make a huge star out of him as i said with the look he has the story e.t.c
Yeah well said mate, I get the feeling that if he gets the job done here his talent can no longer be ignored.
Prove what? Hold an interim belt like Mundine? Mick has got one of those. He's one win away from having claim to being the best lightweight in the world. Atleast being the Ring champ. And I haven't seen Mundine fight on HBO yet. This will be Katsidis' second time. He's there replacement for Arturro Gatti. That's a tall order to fill, but they have put great stock in him. Maybe they love a bleeder. lol I think Katsidis has proved enough.
Im hell excited & getting behind Katsidis. Easter sunday is at my house with a few of my mates. Gonna be a mad mad morning.
For anyone undecided about buying the fight just wanna let you know it's only gonna cost $29 so pay up, it'd be unaustralian not to.
Heading to the central coast for Easter weekend. Where can i watch the Kats fight up there?? Terrigal hotel don't do the fights anymore.
http://www.skychannel.com.au/ringside/venuesearch.php?ShowAll=Show+All&Event=246 Its on at the CENTRAL COAST LEAGUES CLUB... 02-43259888 thats their number
Ok he's hot! I will book the fight and will be right behind him all the way. I'm sick of the run around circle of Mundine and I totaly agree that Michael should be getting more media attention than what he is getting at the moment :good
haha a reply to a johhny lewis thread on sportnut from a boxing associate of mine hahaha i love it...sums it up perfectly. Mind you this is in response to Johnny Lewis going gangbusters about his disciple old man fenechs fight... Fck me dead get over it...why dont he talk about katsidis ever? -------------------------------------------------------------- Im sorry...i dont care about your status in boxing lewis... im just gobsmacked as to why something stupid needs to happen in Australian boxing, when we have two superstars in Mundine and KAtsidis fighting atm. As Katsidis for an example, ive never seen you write a half decent article on him, other than to bag im out and telling him who to and who not to fight. Why cant you write a positive article for Katsidis re- his significant fight with Casamayor?? This is a very important fight. Katsidis 2nd HBO fight.. WHICH OTHER \"Aussie\" has fought on major HBO cards, let alone one of them being the main event bout/? WHICH FIGHTER??? Ohhhhh i forgot, thats because Katsidis knocked you back when you tried to woo him into your stable. Same with mundine. Write a positive article about his boxing for once. WHYY write an article about a 40 + yr old guy , and ur trying to take away the light from the others.
