    Uh-oh...Katsidis has had his ups and downs and isn't the best technician, but he's not exactly tune-up material...

    Not a bad fighters for a tune up Ray, but 3G for the ticket was a bit steep :lol:

    This should be a entertaining match up to say the least. Both have the balls to the wall style of fighting so it should be good for the fans.

    Katz will get stopped on cuts imo but hard to say how well ricky will come back after his lay off :huh

    Both have similar height and reach. Hatton will come in heavier on the night but will be rusty. Katsidis won't die wondering. could be a toe to toe brawl while it lasts.

    Nope. Hatton never had a good chin, and he's shot now. Katsidis still has power, even if he's shot.

    I don't see how anyone could not think that. But I don't know s*** about how difficult it really is to come out of a long slump.

    Yeah, it was for 4 tickets though, and I have sat at the back once , never again.

    I just thought it was going to be a 147 world class fighter, Michael was and I say was world class at lightweight, but is no welter.

    Fighters who never had a good chin don't tend to walk through Tszyu's punches.

    Hatton had a solid chin prior to the Floyd fight.

    Was his chin ever great/granite? No. But it was solid.

    Kat has yet to prove he has power above 135.

    He's an overrated, career punching bag, and Hatton will beat him unless he has two feet in the grave.

    Put him in there with an easy-2-hit fighter. I still would have liked to see Hatton vs Witter. Still Bull**** that it never happened.

    I cant believe people are complaining about Katsidis. This is the best possible match up Ricky could of done for a comeback. This fight will be a ****ing war !!

    I have made that mistake also, you think to yourself. "**** i should have just watched this from home" :lol:

    I honestly thought he was going to get Paulie out for a rematch and title fight. That was a fight I think was risky as Paulie looked slick in his last outing.

    Is Mick is a decent name in the UK after the Mitchell, burns and Earl fights? One things for sure is there will be blood. Mick deserves a pay day more than most, he is a class act and always brings his heart to the ring.

    I don't think there has been any solid confirmation for this fight yet has there. Still only media speculation. I hope it is Mick though. He does deserve a good pay day. Hopefully a huge one.

    Damn. Two guys who don't need to be taking more punishment.

    I've got Hatton.

    Tszyu was shot. And does it matter? You kind of prove my point by saying he has no chin now. :yep
