    Yeah, sort of deepens the parallel with Gatti, to whom Kats was often compared. People were usually meaning to reference the blood 'n' guts aspects of each man, but Arturo would also have nights where he'd elect to box and commentators would often allude to his ability to do so, even if his instincts led him astray (much to all the mob's wild delight)

    Yeah, although I remember Steward saying the key difference between him and Gatti was that Katsidis never started out trying to box. Lederman likened him to a right-handed Mustafa Hamsho once.

    He lost his best friend and only sibling brother stathi 2 weeks before the marquez fight, that ended his will for the sport, He he stated this a few times, besides this major psychological crack you have the physical decline of too many blows to the head, the last of katsidis was left in that ring that night.
