Would Katsidas kill Hatton in the ring?

Hatton hits harder than any of Kats previous opponent, and he cuts easily. Plus you fail to consider Kats carelessness in the ring. Hatton admitted being nervous like crazy in his last fight, which i think is the natural reaction after having your first loss. But he already passed that and im pretty sure he will regain confidence thereafter. Kat on the otherhand is coming off a loss, and frankly he has yet to prove he can come back. Im sure he will, but then Hatton will be ahead mentally.

 

This would be a good slugfest, but Hatton by KO

 

When did hatton suddenly become a puncher... Katsidis has trouble vs southpaws, and eats too many straight left hands. Against Ricky, no one shot is going to be coming through. Ricky breaks guys down with accumulation. I agree Hatton is the better fighter, but he fights in a way that suits katsidis to a tee. Katsidis can bang better then Hatton, and both are chinny. Both love fighting on the inside. Toe to Toe, this fight is very even. I think Hatton is the better combination puncher, and should be able to eventually overwhelm Katsids, but all i'm saying is that it wouldn't suprise me to see Katsids KO Hatton either if he gets tagged.

 

I don't think Hatton will be any bigger in the ring if both meet at 140lbs. The Hatton that beat Zoo that night in Manchester wld beat Katisdis imo fairly easliy, however a fading Hatton and a more experienced Kats would be a good fight if it was around Nov 2009.

Hatton wld start favourite imo

 

Trust me I will be the first to tell u that Hatton doesn't seem to be same since Tszyu. His fights with Uranango, Collazo, Laricono, Castillo, and Floyd he never looked good. But I like him because he tries and takes risk. But I felt as if the Castillo fight was fixed. Jose had to pay off debt so who in there mind is going to train for a fight that doesn't mean anything.

 

:good

 

Agreed, Hatton would certainly be the favourite. And is the more well rounded fighter. However, he can only fight one way, which suits Katsidis style. It would be a war, and Ricky just isn't a puncher, no matter how hard people here try and convince you otherwise. Katsidis defence is terrible vs southpaws, and bad when trying to cut the ring off, but tight in close quarters. He keeps his guard very high, and his punches are very tight. He has good hand speed, slightly less then Hatton but still decent in close. The fight would be very much back and forth, and i really can't see Katsidis getting stopped early, the chance is small. Some people will jump on this thread and exaggerate yelling about a Hatton early KO, but the reality is, this will most likely become a rough and bloody fight, with one person getting stopped in the latter rounds. IMO, it could realistically be either guy. Anyone who thinks otherwise, isn't looking at this properly IMO.

 

Hatton beats him up, gets smashed up himself a bit in the process and it leads to a lot of threads on here.

 

Unless Hatton became completely shot, he would be the one killing Katsidis. Why is Katsidis even being treated like a top 10 H2H fighter at 140 when he barely is one at 135?

 

:yep

:deal LATEST POLL count 30 for Hatton; 11 for Kats

:good

 

Is Joel Casamayor a KO puncher?

Hatton will land flush hooks on Kats, that won't be a problem. Let me ask you, who hits harder, Hatton or Casamayor?
