Would Katsidas kill Hatton in the ring?

Did you see the Liendo fight? Katsidis was actually BOXING in this fight. It was in front of his home crowd, he wanted to get some rounds in. If Liendo didn't retire Katsidis would have steped it up and finished him when he wanted.

 

It was ****ing Sergio Liendo. The guy is a super bantam and way past his best too. I have not seen the fight, but I have seen Katsidis fight enough times to know that he never just jabs and refrains from throwing power shots.
He only knows one way to fight and please...he has fought in his home town countless times and fought exactly as always....all out attack.

Are you telling me that even though he has stopped several fighters in his home town earlier, he decided not to throw power punchers and became a slick boxer who didn't sit on his shots for one night only?

 

I'm telling you, you can't make statements about a fight you haven't seen. I have seen almost every one of his fights and TWICE i have seen him box not brawl, against Liendo and sorkitti. He would have stepped up and knocked both out if they hadn't retired.

 

You can't argue with someone when your going off boxrec mate... Sometimes its misleading. Even some of the guys that Kat knocked out, are better fighters then their records suggest. Some of those pinoy guys had losses very early in their careers, fighting at weight classes that were not suited to them. Katsidis has good punching power, if you don't think so watch some of his fights. You can see by the way he throws his punches. Some of the points you have mentioned here are valid, and i agree with, but others are just biased. Like saying that Earl was "over the hill" when Katsidis beat him. Earl was 28 years old FFS, how ridiculous. Katisids ruined him basically, as Earl took a thorough beating in that fight. A guy who had never been knocked out before. Regardless, I agree that Hatton would be favoured to win, but i think you guys are being overly patriotic if you don't think Katsidis could potentially KO Hatton if he gets careless. Katsidis is a good puncher, and Hatton has an average chin. Anything is possible, especially in a war. My money is on Hatton, but it isn't as clear cut as some of you are making out. Styles make fights, and that is definitely the case in this one. If it were a slick boxer on the level of Hatton, i would say he destroys Katsidis... But Hatton's style plays right into his hands.

 

No, but what a gory ****ing mess that would be, It however is a more exciting proposition than any other stiff that Ricky will actually fight.

 

tell me who did katsidis beat in his career to get respect around here? Earl? If any, valero gets more respect because he has mosquera on his resume, katsidis on the other hand you know.

 

hatton would beat the **** out of katsidis.

 

He couldn't kill Casamayor.
