    Good fight for Kats - he should win this fairly easily.

    I'm a big Kats fan also and can't see how anyone could score the Burns fight for him. Kats may have thrown more punches but he landed very few clean shots - most were elbows, arms and glove of Burns.

    Graham Earl has had another fight since losing to Katsidis. Losing by stoppage. This time to a 9-4-1 guy. How clear does the message have to be? For God's sake retire Earl.

    Sad to see a warrior like Katsidis go out like this. His fighting style means he has gotten old really quickly.

    Sadly I see this being the story for the next five years as the fall from world class to punch bag continues . He was a in great Nick though as he had six weeks training up in Manchester , whatever Mick decides good luck to the kid . :good

    A recent fight of his. 15 March 2014 vs Eddy Comaro in Australia

    I'll wait to see his next big fight before I'd say he is officially done.
    Looks like he has to first prove himself again that he's still got it.

    You got to be joking. Kats needed to retire 2 years ago. The brain damage he has sustained since then will mean a very very low quality of life in old age - if he reaches old age.

    Yes, I understand he was diagnosed but for some reason, he was still cleared to fight Coyle and is still boxing now.

    The guy obviously isn't looking at his old age, he only cares about what he loves to do and he's going to pursue it as hard as he can.
    It definitely would be awful to see him get hurt but he has to do what he feels right. All we can do is support him and hope for the best.

    He's doing it for pay days, he still has a name in the UK and he is trying to milk that angle.......... He's never earned a decent quid in OZ
