I'm on board!! Woo hoo. I will give his opponent credit though, he was good too. He abandoned his jab though which cost him a few rounds that he could have had.
Now I regret myself saying australia has a weak crop of boxer. I am eating my words publicly I like the K-dude. He is a little off with his crazy ring entrance but in that ring..he is non stop action..blood guts..eyeballs falling out...But aint he greek..???? HE IS THE NEW GATTI WITH BETTER SKILLS AND GREAT TIMING..THE PINOY DUDE HAD A HELL OF A CHIN B/C THAT FIRST KNOCKDOWN I THOUGHT THAT WAS A KNOCKOUT PUNCH... man the little guys rule boxing.....147 and down for me ..**** the rest.....the little guys hit harder too...lol
Amonso abandoned his jab because he was just EATING straight rights over it, AND getting pounded with hooks to the body so he had to lower his hand to block and not eat so much leather lol. Amonsot is only 21 though...he looked good for his age and will get better no doubt.
His eye was already messed up before Nady called the headbutt. The Majority of the damage were caused by punches. Awsome performance though. Tons of heart. Can't wait for Katsidis to fight Diaz, that would be really good.
Amonsot hospitalized after fight td.yspwidearticlebody { font-size: 13.5px; }By This content is protected , Yahoo!

Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said This content is protected Amonsot, 21, who was knocked down once in the second and again in the 10th, is 18-3-1.
katsidis is a good, blood and guts fighter in the mould of gatti... but like gatti, he will fall when fighting the elites and best of his weight division like juan diaz and casamayor.
If he stays away from bad style matchups and elite boxers, he retires a rich man.:deal Hes a true showman and a joy to watch.
not that rich though as the BIG money comes from fighting the elites and the best of his division. he'll also be possibly labelled a "ducker" if he does this. gatti wasn't ever labelled a ducker.
Katsidis aint going to be a ducker either - on his website it said juan diaz and kat have both agreed to one more fight each before they meet.
there you go... if this fight pushes through no matter the result, katsidis proves that he is definitely boxing's NEW blood and guts warrior just like gatti. :good
