It only seems logical: Mitchell beat Prescott Katsidis beat Mitchell Katsidis, though eventually losing to Marquez, sent him to the canvas during the fight. With his loss to Marquez and Khan's win here, it would be easier for them to make a deal for the UK, an option that a fight with Marquez would not allow.
Khan would make light work of katsidis he's far too easy to hit and doesn't have a cast iron jaw like maidana. I don't see anyone rushing to fight Khan or Maidana after seeing that fight except prescott for a payday of course. Cant see Roach following a big hitter with another big hitter though.
TheChump, I would've said the same thing before that fight with Marquez, but not after. Katsidis has got heart, and Roach knows he won't hit nearly as hard as Maidana.
I see a jmm katsidis rematch happening more than this. We definitely saw the best two in the division go at it. I'd even pick khan to beat JMM at this stage in jmm's career.
Khan should rematch Maidana and I think Maidana will beat/KO Khan in the rematch. Khan could also fight JMM or Katsidis but remember that JMM and Katsidis are 135 lbs. boxers...
Katsidis couldn't put away Juan Diaz. The same Juan Diaz that was nearly taken out by featherfist. Maidana has eaten the bombs of Ortiz and survived a vicious body shot by Khan. Just how many bombs do you think Katsidis can eat from the bigger Maidana? Katsidis uses his face to block punches.
Katsidis just got TKO'd by a LW. He shouldn't move up in weight unless it's necessary, and then still he could use a tune up at 140 before taking on one of the very top guys there.
