THe fact of the matter was it was agreed in Usa and Ricky decided to turn the fight down and vacate, I deal with facts mate. :good We wouldn't know as the fight was not made in Scotland, this is a great fight one where Burns is the underdog but he I wouldn't describe it as a monster challenge on is own promotion agaisnt an ageing warrior, very winnable fight for a fight at this level.
A harder fight not sure on paper, I fancy Katsidis to do a job on Burns but that is more the fact I don't think Burns is as good as some think, but I personally think fighting Broner in the States would of been a harder fight than fighting a fighter who has falllen short against the best in the division every time he has stepped up, and is coming off a couple of big defeats.( Not counting the pointless fight back in Oz last time out. ) But don't get me wrong great fight so good I am going, Good luck to Burns he will need it I feel.
Come on Burns, i think Katisidis is an excellent fighter and Ricky should be getting more respect for stepping up to the plate this time instead of all the hating surrounding Nelson etc, going to be a very tough fight for Burns but i have a feeling he may just surprise quite a few esb'ers in this one.
burns is a clever boxer,he doesnt take much punishment,he was beaten twice when he was young,his old trainer was right in taking these fights as it was a good learning curve,when klasdis fought earl it was a war but when burns fought earl he made it look easy,so dont underestinate burns , if he fights the way he did when he beat earl he might just pull it off.
Two absolute gentlemen, true warriors, its going to be a great fight. I admire both fighters so much, but I hope Ricky does the business. Billy Nelson full of respect for Michael Katsidis, good to see respect shown not any rubbish trash taliking. Can't wait. Katsidis looks so eager to get in there aswell as Ricky.
theres a massive billboard outside my work with a big burns katsidis poster on it, cant wait for this fight, i hope burns can do it but i feel katsidis has been in with much better opposition that he'll have too much for burns, this really has the makings of fight of the year!
