    Why the he'll take on such a tough hombre for his comeback fight? He could have fought a eurobum and it'd sell out. I take kats in this

    Lets be honest Its not that much of a ask for katsisdis to fight at 140 for a big pay day. Good chance he could knock Hatton out he;s gonnar come out swinging.......

    Has the potential to be a sloppy, brutal fight. Not sure I want to see it. Both guys probably already have brain damage. Yeah **** this. I won't watch.

    Hatton said his come back would be at 147, so I dont think so.

    A punching bag vs a glass chin, inserting.

    Katsidis looked absolute **** in his last fight. He has regressed so much. If Hatton has anything left it will be a good fight.

    Big Fight brothers, Big. When Katsidis beat Earl, that's when it should have been done but I want it better late then never. A true hookfest!

    Not fair they always put Kats with Technical fighter, the last guy he faces was a ****ing Shoulder roll artist, but Kats did get in some good work at times, the other guy was just to slick and defensive, he was pot shotting Kats....

    But this is differet, he is not gonna be facing a ****ing slick mother****er, hatton is gonna be there to hit, and they will collide, hatton has the style where Kats will shine, I'm happy he is getting big money fight, and a winnable fight because of styles, KATS will shine and give his last hoorah before he ends up just being a name or a gatekeeper to some up and coming guy.

    I'm glad he didn't get Broner or another defensive fighter like his last fights where he gets pure boxers, NOW IS HIS TIME TO SHINE


    He is gonna DEMOLISH hatton. :deal

    Interesting come back fight. Definitely didn't expect Ricky to make a gamble like this. Be nice to see him face a guy at his weight rather than blown up feathers and lightweight that his made a career off. Either Ricky knows something we don't but this has FOY written all over it. :yep

    Good comeback fight,Katsidis can punch,is always exciting and is a known name in the uk,he's also past it and not a Welterweight,good but not easy fight for Hatton..

    But he is not fighting a welter so I dont think it matters as much , also lets be honest Hatton looked poor against Mayweather and Collazo , two fighters who are absolute top draw.

    Yeah but welter is where the big fights are and is where Hatton is vunrable ,he needs his punch resistance at welter and i cant see him growing a new set of wiskers in a three year lay off where he was drinking and snorting cocaine..
