Katsidis has yet another option

I clicked the wrong quote button.

IMO it is a good fight, he is fighting a name fighter with a good record, if he dominates it is something to compare against pacs victory

 

he's not that powerful but ****in fast lol

 

He was beating Casamayor when he got sloppy. There's not a thing Smith could do for him there. Juan Diaz is always going to be a tough fight for Mick. He has pretty much everything Mick does, plus more boxing ability.

 

yes he got sloppy vs casamayor but he was also lucky to make it past rnd 1.

vs juan diaz and any others in future, the better defence could be the difference between winning and losing a world title. surely that's a good enough reason.

and yes i agree that kats will always have the fenech mentality and it mostly works well for him. but if he wants to do well against marquez and even pacman, he has to alter his style more surely.

i'd like to see him fight both these guys but wouldn't like to just see him get pummeled from pillar to post..

 

My point is he is 29. What you see now, is probably him at his best.

 

with his style he is capable of beating anybody at the top level but he is vulnerable too against fighters he should beat.

i'll cheer no matter how or who he fights. he's aussie and he's all class outside the ring too.

 

And that's where I disagree. I don't think he is capable of beating "everyone" at the top level. However, he's at the top and I hope he can do it.

 

for a guy that has a rubbish trainer and fairly limited skills he has done very well, he is a warrior and a good true blue aussie, great guy and a great fighter

would love to see him go with roach or even mcgirt, he needs to be shown how to utilise his power... the guy is obviously strong but has a tendency to slap and telegraph some of his punches instead of putting his weight into it - watch him in the Juan Diaz fight in the later rounds... with a good trainer he could be so much more

 

Few things...

Marquez fight is top of their list obviously

Kats missus having a baby in Dec, so that's a priority right now.

Their is another possibility should the Marquez fight not eventuate. nfd there.

Diaz and Murray have never been discussed. They wont be happening anytime soon.

 

I'd like to see Kats rematch Casamayor then Hatton. I think Kats has the power to surprise Hatton. Styles make fights & Hattons is perfect for Kats & his chin doesn't seem to be what it was anymore. Both good money earnings & winnable fights for our real Oz champion.

 

He just needs to hire a really good trainer, such as Roach.

 

buddy mcgirt has a tendency to make fighters fight like he did so would be rubbish for katsidis and roach is decent enough yet there seems to be nothing wrong with brendon smith and katsidis as a team. Also i think katsidis turns his hands over well for his shots and only "slaps" when throwing excessive flurries like he did against earl
