    I'll definitely be watching it, though I completely forgot about it until I read this thread. thanks.

    I've been forgetting heaps lately due to me planning on moving overseas in 3 weeks. I also nearly forgot that Australia is playing The Netherlands in a friendly this weekend.

    We didn't even get to see Soliman V Wright when they fought. Instead, main Event only telecatsed Mundine V some bum, and Green V some bum.
    The sadder thing is that those fights didn't intervene with the Soliman/wright fight. It was on 8 hours earlier. :patsch


    Yeah, off to Japan. Sorry about your grand dad mate. I know many old people in Australia find it hard to be tolerent of the Japanese even today.
    I've just got the yellow bug, and it's ****ing near impossible to rid yourself of it. :yep

    Thanks mate but good on ya Pecks , there is a big world out there mate , experience it whilst you can & big up's to your oldies down under it couldn't have been easy for them either, Old Ted went ballistic when i came home with a Honda 250cc superdream when i was 17 lol , made me change it for a BSA bantem 175 , all my mates were ton up and i was 60 mph flat out FFS.:-( he never gave in , even up until the day he died he wouldn't even acknowledge then as a race . ****ed up but understandable IMO .

    your right josey, but i think with the aussie forum we talk about the fight as soon as its signed then go back to just chattin about general boxing.

    its sad and unfair Mic isnt gettin his fight on Tv live, because this is a fight that could really get some casual boxing fans to take notice, maybe its to $$$$ to put on free tv, i dont know.

    good money for Katsidis in this fight, payin 5 for the KO is great value, im just morried with Jauns punch output he might hurt and finish him

    I've cunningly concealed a list of venues showing the fight @ http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87172.
    As explained in there its a Sky Channel exclusive, Main Event are not showing it as they've decided to go with the UFC. Its not available to watch at home (cough sopcast) so you have to go watch it at a pub. For all those bitching about this remember, Main Event had their choice and turned their back on the Katsidis fight. Sky Channel have taken it up so at least we can be thankful that someone is showing it.
    Will update the list soon, 71 venues at last count but still none in SA, Tas or ACT. People in those states should target a fight friendly pub and get on the phone, we did in WA and now have one showing it.

    Yes you are right but thats what you have to like about Katsidis.No easy tune ups after his first loss straight into a big challenge.Its this Aussie never give up,Never think things through attitude that I love.Its a shame he doesnt attract more exposure here in Oz.GO KATSIDIS.:happy

    It would be good Kegsy but on Sunday morning at that time I'll be asleep after a 12 hour night shift 600km from Perth. I just wanted to ensure that someone in WA was showing it.
