Burns Vs Katsidis

aint the wbo the only world title hes ever gone for? i swear he never contested for the ibf,wba or wbc

 

War katsidis

 

Not entirely true

Contested the following

WBA Full Title Vs Marquez
WBA Interim title Vs Guerrero
IBO Full Title V J. Diaz

Mind you, lost them all. But still

 

I was up at Ricky's camp a week past Friday. He looked fantastic in sparring and extremely strong at the new weight

It's worth remembering that Ricky is still big for a 135lber. He was killing himself to make super feather and has been doing a lot of strength work in training and I am talking hardcore.

Katsidis is a terrfic fighter and he's world class but if he beats Ricky Burns then he will have earned it. This is not an easy fight for either man but I believe in Burns, unlike many on the board, and see him winning on points.

 

if Ricky leaves his chin in the air as he did when getting the belt hes going night night.
That said Gurreo has sown what to do with Katsides when height and reach are in your favour jab, jab and then bring some power as the fight progresses. Katsides eyes are full of scar tissue and it wont take much to make them swell sooner or later thats gotta impair his vision in a fight
and stay away from the left hook - there aint that much in the right which i think is massive whole in MK's style so its winnable but difficult for Burns

 

Burns wins a mildly controversial decision.
