Casamayor was definitely not shot, faded yes but not shot. Katsidis had that in the bag but got reckless atsch. After that, Casa did alright against JMM before being stopped so not shot at all. Against Diaz, I'd blame Katsidis' trainers. He had a **** gameplan and gave Kats **** advice in the corner. Tried to box too much instead of keeping to his strengths and being aggressive. He is world class. Otherwise he'd be getting blown out by these fighters instead of losing whilst still being competitive.
whnats the thin linbe between faded and shot?? we true real boxing heads love to throw the "shot", "faded" and "hype" from time to time.. Cassa was going into this fight as a been there done it type fighter..and he pulled off a damn explosive win against katsidis.. Katsidis has always been a give em and take em type fighter..
Great fight to make. Khan can make interesting fights now, even if the guy is smaller, because he has fought legit 140 pounders. Katsidis is the brit slayer. They should play it up and show non stop highlights of Earl and Katsidis getting smashed. Katsidis comes to fight too and that is always a good thing.
Katsidis is getting overrated, he got outboxed by diaz and put on the canvas by earl. KAtsidis would get clipped repeatedly on the outside, headlocked, wrinse and repeat. Katsidis falls to the canvas in a mess in about the 5th.
