    ....Lee got his ass handed to him last night...and so did Katsidis...I hate the media overhyping this 3rd rated boxers that has not stepped up in class and once they are with a cut above their previous opposition it is clear that they are over their head....Lee and Katsidis proof that once again....

    Maybe you can say that about Lee, but don't you think it's a little silly to call Katsidis overhyped or third rate? He has the potential to be a very good fighter who can accomplish a lot. And he wasn't exactly fighting a scrub tonight in Casamayor, a former champ.

    I thought Lee, showed some skill but he can learn from his loss. KATSIDIS that could of took alot out of him, but who knows with my predictions lately

    Well I love the bull**** some of the fans on ESB with beleive is true...Katsidis faught valiantly and determine, but a great fighter he is not..and if you say he is you are kidding yourslef, he is a pressure fighter and that looks good but the minute he was put with a boxer that had a pedigree in the amateurs,,,he was taken...Joel at 35, TRY TO COAST AFTER THE TWO KD's and it cost him...but eventually when he knew he needed to get busy he did...sure he got caught....but he was head and shoulders above Katsidis for Lee, THE GUY HAS NO DEFENCE so much for mebeen a idget ah|!!!

    This fools buy the hype all the ****ing time...You want to see a great young fighter watch Juan Maneul Lopez he is a stylistic boxer with power, good amateur record and he understand the what the science is...

    Katsidis isn't even really hyped, as one poster has put before I, most realize he packs a good punch and is exciting to watch, and is limited boxing wise, not a future world beater or p4p superstar.

    Andy Lee is another story.

    If Katsidis was overhyped a bit, it's not surprising. Who wouldn't want a guy with his exciting style to be successful.
    And it's not like everyone going into this fight was picking Katsidis and this was an big upset.

    How does losing to JOEL FREAKIN CASAMAYOR make you overhyped? Casa is one of the better fighters (and most underrated) of this generation. True he has the tendancy to not show up every night, but he has the tools...lets not overlook that.

    (BTW I picked Casa...not because Katsidis is hype...but because I felt Joel was the better fighter)
