This shouldn't be sanctioned. Earl is a good fighter with real heart, but he's well beyond shot at this stage and Kats could really do some damage to him.
You cant really compare a 1 off fight for his fans in Oz against a can with the likes of The Mundine circus and their dealings over the last couple of years :deal
Kats coming off two brutal loses, why not a can to make a quid back home and get the confidence happening agan...... Probably get a big crowd with Earl being a Pom, plus keep replaying the first fight when Kats went down (almost ) and hype it to death for mainstream sports fans.
i guess Katsidis being my favourite fighter i hold him to a higher standard.Earl is done and this fight is dangerous.
If you could imagine a newspaper created by some of the worst posters in the General Forum and Lounge of this site, then that is The Sun. Once in a blue moon they get a legit 'leak' or break or something, but it's a numbers game for them. 'For every 1000 conspiracy theories, stories and scandals you write about, 1 of them has to be right, right?' Still, page 3 is okay and it can be entertaining at times, but mostly infuriating.
because its dangerous. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bNNZaa4h_Q&feature=player_embedded[/ame] http://www.badlefthook.com/2011/5/26/2192418/michael-katsidis-next-fight-graham-earl-wants-rematch his last fight win was against a fighter with 125 losses.
I'm with you on that Stiffy, but it's good to see him take a fight with Earl when his been in the ring with the best in his last couple. And Earl is risking alot comming into this fight off a long lay off, could be a bad move.....
He's been trying his hand at promoting, and I believe he lost a bundle of cash trying to promote some fights over in Ireland...
