Joel looked like a young champ tonight. He kicked the kids ass and got a good stoppage. Had to love that fight.
Fair stoppage the kid is only 27, he'll be back, he was down 3 times, his face looked like ground Hamburger, and he and his People didn't protest so i don't see a problem, he ate a lot of hard shot,s even Lennox agreed with the stoppage so let's move on..
the stoppage was perfect, if anything the refere could have stopped it right there when Katsidis just got off the canvas
Don't exaggerate. Katsidis was winning the fight and got caught (actually ran into) by a great shot he didn't see. The ref should of gave him more lee-way, but refs are super quick to pull the plugs on fights today. Guys should be allowed to fight like they did in the 30's through 70's.
theres no debate. Katsidis didnt complain and he couldnt even recall the moment in the interview. Max Kellerman just made a fool out of himself for bringing that up after the stoppage and again in the interview.
I know that the commentators were giving all the rounds to the kid, that is what they do but I don't give rounds for aggression just for aggression sake. I had the fight even after the point loss for the low blow. I think we all would have been surprised by the judges score cards.
I had Katsidis ahead by 2 points, Don't get me wrong, it was close, but Casamayor wasn't dominating. He landed a hell of a punch. This will only make Katsidis a better fighter. Casamayor is and has always been a badass. A rematch would be great or a card where he fights Campbell and we have Katsidis-Diaz fight.
I can see where that could have been the case. It was a much closer fight than the commentators were saying.
Psh, please. This is ****in' stupid. Does there really need to be a thread about whether or not this was a good stoppage? Katsidis was done like dinner.
