Round 1 and 2 Mitchell boxing well and outboxes Katsidis with the jab. Round 3 - Wow. Katsidis has Mitchell hurt early in the round and lands with a barrage. Mitchell holding on for dear life. Kats lands a further barrage later in the round and Mitchell is saved from further punishment. Great win!!!
Congratulations from UK. I was hoping for Kev to win tonight, however, Katsidis is a true warrior, hope he gets the big billing he deserves.
Katsidis looked a lot stronger when you saw them together. He boxed smartly too, lulling Mitchell in. The stoppage was spot on too, a second or so later and he would have been seriously hurt, a second or 2 earlier and there would have been questions as to whether or not he could come back.

Agreed. Any further punishment could have been career ending type punishment. Paris stepped in just at the right time. No complaints from Mitchell or the corner.
katsidis punching technique, accuracy and defense have all improved HEAPS. He looked sharp, his punches had snap and he was landing pin point. Imagine if he had a world class trainer? still, credit to Smith, he has done well training Kats for this win
Mitchell was 1/2 at the bookies which was ridiculous. I did think he could win a month or so ago, but first time i saw Kats in the same room................ he looked a division or so bigger. I remembered him saying he was bigger built than mundine and can believe it. It was man against boy in the end, but Kev did his best , he just got nailed , repeatedly.
Aim up Marcus and have a real bet My missus was alseep and reckons i woke up the neighbours :yep Best thing is my next door neighbours a pom
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi! Katsidis is a machine - ****in hell he just walked mitchell down - I was shocked to be honest. i thought this was a genuine 50-50 fight - but it looked too easy in the end.
Well done Katsidis, Just back from the fight. Wanted Mitchell to win but in R3 it looked like a boy vs a man. What a warrior. Best of luck for the future
