    What are we thinking for this one? I like Tommy and think he's a good honest lad but I think this is gonna be a struggle for him. Brizuela, who looked like he'd been plucked off the beach 24 hours before, took him to town with bodyshots and I can't see Coyle having having the skill to get a KO. The longer this fight goes on the more trouble for Tommy IMO......unless Katsidis is completely shot :yep

    The opposite really katsidis being a shop worn e4 year old I think the longer this goes the more it favours coyle. I think katsidis has to tag coyle in the first 6 to have a chance of winning. Katsidis is completely gone looking at his last 2 performances but will still carry abit of power expect coyle to be on his toes for the first few rounds

    Fair enough, I haven't seen his last couple so no idea how far gone he is. I just imagine he must be in better condition than Brizuela, having been over here for a full camp. I can't see Tommy avoiding a tear up early on due to the crowd.

    Exactly what i was going to say myself, i think Katsidis will need to try and go for the kill before 6th or 7th otherwise it will be a Coyle win for me.

    I like Tommy I think hes a sound lad but after the Brizeula fight I really do worry this is a step too far for him

    I think Tommy wins on points, if he keeps MK turning and not allowing him to plant his feet he will be fine, excellent fight for TC

    I think it all depends on what Katsidis has left, if he's 60-70% of what he used to be then I'll think he beats Coyle. If not I'd say Coyle wins on points.

    After that fight, Katsidis must be looking to target the body.

    Tommy Coyle didn't get enough credit for stopping Brizuela. Brizuala lost a close points decision to Daud Cino Yordan who is a very good fighter. This version of Katsidis isn't as good as Brizuela.

    Coyle UD easy.

    well Katsidis couldn't stop Earl in their rematch and Earls punch resistance is nonexistant these days so thats a good sign for Coyle

    Coyle stops him late on cuts or ref stoppage I reckon think Katsidis is well past his sell by date

    Katsidis went 12 rounds with a mummified version of Graham Earl. That doesn't bode well.
