I hope Katsidis has a game plan........

Katsidis fights the same way every time. Why change now?

 

Agreed :good I do find it strange when fighters (at the top level) choose not to do this and take every possible advantage into the ring. The slightest movement can make all the difference. Although with Katsidis it's not all that technical. Effective yes.

 

Yeah, it's crazy when they don't study tapes... surely you want every advantage!! Do you reckon he is lying? and that he has actually studied mitchell thoroughly?

 

No I just think he only fights one way and wouldn't change whoever the opponent. No matter how much he does or doesn't watch of them.

I think he may be taking Mitchell a bit lightly. I think he feels he will be to strong for him.

 

I imagine some fighters that say they never watch tapes of future opponents are lying. The others probably just have confidence in their trainer to watch the tapes and devise a suitable game plan.

It is silly though. See for yourself what you are up against.

 

Definitely seems that way.

I think he may be right in a way. If Mitchell fights Katsidis fight (toe to toe) I think he will lose. I think he will try it for the first 3 or 4 rounds and realise he can't win that way. He will then box him from the outside and pick him off for a close but UD (or maybe late rounds stoppage on cuts). He may even have to get off the floor early to win.

 

I absolutely don't buy it. Most fighters are boxing fans anyway and so will have some knowledge of their opponent without even trying. But to go into a situation where it could make or break your career and potentially end your life without studying your opponent would be so ridiculous its untrue. Which it is. It's just an attempt at psychological warfare, to get inside their opponent's heads.

 

Katsidis is the real deal.

Mitchell is the real deal.
