So..Do you guys think Kats is off the map now?

Its the majority of FRAUD groupies doin most the hating and aint it funny?

They act like Katsidis didnt send him out the ring and appeared in control. Casa showed what THAT LEVEL is ALL ABOUT.

Katsidis got more left, keep him active and take THE FIGHTS.

 

Hope not, he is one exciting fighter

 

I for one, do not 'whinge' when a fight isn't exciting b/c I can appreciate the chess match that is in progress. I have said and still stand by what I've said in Katz is limited. To put him up against the top LW is sending him infront of the execution squad. If your fanboyness clouds your judgement about Katz being outclassed by a champ then that's a whole other issue. I wouldn't say Katz is exposed or finished, but I would say he isn't ready for top tier or even elite opposition. He has FUNDAMENTAL flaws that make him easily hitable and his 'blood and guts' will be left in the ring in extreme fashion if he doesn't address those flaws. Katz is talented and I feel that if he addresses the flaws he does have then he will be a good fighter. He will not be elite or top tier, but good. You have to see a lemon as a lemon, nothing more and nothing less.:good

 

I agree totally with your last statement. It's a shame you've seen an lemon as a carrot though.

 

pfft.

 

I have no problem with admitting he was beaten by the better man. I am not a fanboy and know that he was outclassed by a champ, but does that mean he deserves to be disrespected ? I do agree he is limited but so are alot of guys in the sport. My problem is with the haters who will say that he is finished and was never a contender in the first place. I never said everyone 'whinges' but there are alot of people on ESB who are impossible to please, these are the ones my post was directed towards.

 

No he can still fight Diaz.

 

Hell no, there's huge dollars to be made in a Juan Diaz clash, or a rematch.

 

Why is there one?

 

Dunno. :conf

I hope so.

 

Blood and guts fighters.:thumbsup

 

nobody said he is off, he is exciting fighter to watch and nobody hates katsidis, but thats that..what people are saying is that he will never be in elite level but for his style he will always be in a fight with elite level only for the elites to look good as they will win. Katsidis is a limited fighter, but if somehow change his style perhaps he will find ways to win against elite competition. Barrera for example has developed to be a boxer in the middle carreer

 

post your scorecard on that fight

 

Sure... show no mercy on Kats since he's a pure blood and guts fighter...

 

Just watched the Katsidis fight and liked the young 'un very much. There were three of four instances in that fight when he almost had the old man beat. Great fight.

All the best in the future to Mike!:happy
