    Good fight. Tough to call. I think Katsidis and Mccloskey are close early but in the mid rounds Kats will start to brawl with him and stops him late.

    After watching Burns beat Katsidis, you have to fancy McCloskey.

    The awkward style and southpaw stance should make life difficult for Katsidis. McCloskey is a defensive fighter which will work in his favour in this fight.

    I'm still trying to figure out how Katsidis beat Mitchell. I really thought Mitchell had the skill and movement to outbox him but he was electing to do the Mayweather defence and stay in a stationary position, which led to him getting mullered. I lost a LOT of money that night. Still hurts.

    Anyway, I think I would be on McCloskeys side in this one.

    This would be a fantastic night of boxing but will Sky allow a 4 hour boxing show?

    If on-I'll be there though.

    Its worth watching, very close, at first I thought it was a draw, watched it again and though McCloskey edged it by a round (possibly 2 depending on how you call the close rounds). Theres a bogus KD in the early rounds, thats basically like as push judo throw, without the KD, i had it to McCloskey by 1 or 2 points, i think it was.

    Katsidis looked finished against Burns last time out but then again I thought McCloskey was given a gift hometown decision last time out so this could be a close fight.

    Can't see McCloskey losing on points in Belfast.

    Katsidis must reckon he has a very good chance of stopping McCloskey as I'm sure he's aware he'll never get a decision in Belfast, either that or he needs the money.

    Great fighter to watch, hope he stops this clown

    Good fight and I'd side with McCloskey to get the nod. I don't think that "chicken wing" hook will be enough for Katsidis

    Should be good, McCloskey's a good technician Kastidis is relentless. I would just shade it to McCloskey all round better boxer.
