Compukiller and Bloodlust: You guys call me a moron by saying that Casamayor is not elite-level. atsch . All I have to say is that Katsidis is NOWHERE NEAR elite level and Casa was behind on the cards and out on his feet numerous times. Yep, im the moron :-(
Absolutely yes to a rematch. Katsidis was owning Casamayor in the middle rounds and knocked him out of the ring. A resurgent Katsidis will give Casa trouble in the future.
That would be the RIGHT thing to have happen, no question. Personally, the fight I'd rather see is Casa - Campbell. Let the old lions have their showdown. The loser then either retires, or HAS to get back in line to fight the Santa Cruzes of the division. Why does Casa need to rematch Katsidis? He KTFOd him. Close fight, but that case is closed.
Katsidas is a great prospect by needs work, a good trainer would make a big difference, he has a lot of technical flaws, he was confused by Casamayors Southpaw style...give the kid a few fights and better prepare him for the top, if they had done that he may have won lastnight
Katsidis got tired. He went for broke in the middle rounds and gased out. Casa kept his composure and his gameplan through the storm and KNOCKED that mother****er OUT. Katsidis did not know where the **** he was at. He was OUT on his ****ing feet. They asked him about the stoppage and he knew he was out. I hate haters. Casa gets a big name. He is an old fighter, he proved he was slicker and better and KNOCKED that mother****er out fair and square. You dont get an immediate rematch getting put on your ass in fashion.
**** yeah, he showed him he was better in round 1. Katsidis went on mad animal rampage b/c he was getting popped with the jab and counter punched to death when he actually tried to box. He was charging in all round every round b/c that is all he can do. He is swarmer. Thats his thing. He does that every ****ing fight. Just b/c Casamayor counterpunched him to high ****ing hell and KNOCKED HIM THE **** OUT. He was OUT on his feet he was reacting off pure adrenaline.
Katsidis even looked like a defeated fighter. He is still going to be a force and I will continue to watch him fight b/c he is what they say ricky hatton is.
Jermain Taylor did. He was knocked out much worse though. Now that is knocked out for your ass, Taylor looked out cold. The ref didn't even bother to count. Fans enjoyed the fight and wanted to see a second fight of Pavlik vs Taylor. I think fans would like to see a rematch of this fight as well.
