If he sorts himself out, he'll get by fine. However, like Pavlik, he needs to really improve his awareness in the ring. He can take a hell of a punch, but he just doesn't see them coming. He's the most exciting fighter since Gatti, so we'll see him again soon enough, thankfully. Hopefully he'll bounce back, with his flaws worked on.
He can take a Hell of a punch?? Are you serious!!? Casa isnt even a big puncher and he had him knocked down 2 times and out on his feet to end the fight!! What big puncher has Kastidis fought to say he can take a hell of a punch?
No real big punchers, so it was the wrong terminology. My apologies for that. However, he can take a good punch, definetly. He showed that agaist Earl and Amonsot. He walks through certain punches which would certainly hurt other guys, but then gets hit when he isn't looking and down he goes. He has a deceptive chin. It's far better than someone who gets knocked down 3 times by a guy like Casamayor, or once by a 50% KO record fighter in Earl.
Hmm I disagree. I don't think his chin is that good at all.. I wouldnt call it glass but It's less then average. The style he fights in he should have a rock solid chin but he doesn't and that will be his downfall unless he learns how to move his head and get better defensively.
