    He could of won that Katsidis fight.

    Aye, he was going through a war, but so was Kat and Earl was competitive against Kat. Kat's legs were jelly like for a couple of seconds as he got up from Earl putting him down.

    Kat was also tiring while Earl laid on the ropes landing hook after hook on Kat's chin.

    Nah, Earl beat Ramirez 7 rounds to 5. Was a clear win.

    Kat was starting to gas and took alot of hooks of Earl. Earl was takings lots but preserved his stamina laying on the ropes covering up following with heavy hooks on Kat's easy to hit chin.

    Eames threw In the towel as soon as the 1st round.:-(

    Earl would win on the Inside.

    If Earl can keep his guard tight during Khan's fast flurries and not have his guard broke open then maybe he can get on the Inside and rough Khan up.

    He should not box with Khan like he did against Burns, boxing tall fighters who work off a jab doesn't work for him

    The only part of that I disagree with is saying he got a "flash knockdown" against Katsidis. Katsidis may have been up fairly quickly but he was in a bad way, out on his feet when he got up and was lucky not to be stopped.

    It doesn't mean anything in regards to this fight, but it does mean I expect Katsidis to get done at the top level too.

    This board is becoming a joke.

    Katsidis was hurt really bad and in a bad way. from what i saw he quickly went to his knees regained his composeur and then knocked Earl down again.

    And as for Flexstuff saying Katsidis is **** well he has a belt a world title belt and has potential fights lined up with David Diaz or Juan Diaz next.

    As for Khan he is just getting past guys like Willie Limond a natural Featherweight.

    Call me crazy but by many of the HBO crew calling Katsidis the next Gatti i would hardly call that being ****.
    I really hope Earl catch's Khan bad and mess's him up just so we can say theres another Audley Harrison.

    Katsidis is **** but having fought in 2 fights within the space of 8 months he gave us 2 fights for contenders of FOTY by Ring.

    Yet he is **** and **** for boxing grow a F_ING brain flexstuff your getting tired.

    After reading this I tend to agree with Big Ears.........As it happens someone whos is one of the few I really respect on here.......
    Kahn, Overated yes but still good enough to deal with whatever can be thrown at him domestically for now

    Khan is far too good for the likes of Graham Earl. Khan to win inside four one sided rounds

    Why is it becoming a joke? I am not a biased poster and I have not called Katsidis **** or anything else. He got sloppy and got caught, he was badly hurt. You might think he took a quick knee, fine, his legs look gone to me and he is in a bad way, but credit to him he gritted his teeth and came through it and then dominated the fight.

    But his chin looks vunerable.

    This board has long been a joke in the way most people revise history, like Tszyu going from being the man before he fought Hatton to being old, shot, past it and so on once he lost.
    Like Lacy being a fearsome destroyer before he fought Calzaghe and then becoming overrated, green, one dimensional straight after.

    I give credit where it is due, I will rewatch the knockdown but I highly doubt I will see much different.

    Okay watched it again.
    He is dropped at 1.44 and Vann waves for the action to continue at 1.27....so 17 seconds of time elapsed for Katsidis to recover and recover he did. I was over the top in saying he was nearly stopped, by the time action started again his head had cleared a good bit and Earl was still shaky himself.

    But the fight should have been waved back on at about 1.33 at the latest, even allowing for sending Earl to the corner, really once the count started, he should have been checked at 8 (so 1.36 on the clock) and then waved back on..so that fighting resumed by 1.34 or as I said 1.33 LATEST.

    At the 1.36 on the clock Kat is still wobbling about and his legs are very shaky.

    Cocky Overrated *****.

    I would love to see Earl spark him out on his birthday in front of his own fans. It would almost be as good as seeing Hatton KO PBF later in the night.

    Khan's trainer Oliver Harrison is going to be busy come Dec 8th!

    According to reports out today, Jamie Moore will challenge for the European Light Middleweight Title when he fights against unbeaten Zaurbek Baysangurov.

    Rival promoters Warren and Maloney are expected to agree timings that would allow Harrison to be in the corner for both the Khan and Moore fights although one is in Bolton and the other in Wigan!

    Moore's fight will top the bill in the british half of an all night Sky Sports programme.

    Dec 8th - boxing fans are certainly going to have plenty to choose from!

    Khan looked cool?

    Thought he came across as a bit of a fool.

    Earl, on the other hand, looked quite composed in comparison to Khan in that first press conference clip.

    There are times when Khan's conduct is unrecognisable to me compared to the modest young guy who represented us so well at the Olympics.

    Its a shame the fame seems to have got to him.
