What next for Katsidis?

in all honesty i think he should retire. hes had a good but very tough run.

 

i wish someone would teach him to defend himself better, No one should take that many uppercuts, He took them well, but getting hit by that many is not needed.

 

He is in great shape ALL the time, has tremendous power and only needs to improve in some areas that Smith obviously can't help him with. In the other thread I was a bit harsh on Smith, but as Kat's trainer (and given that Kats doesn't seem like he would ever dismiss Smith) he should step back a bit and advise Kats to get some fresh blood in the camp. Preferably someone with some good experience - would be great if he could get someone of a certain callibre - Roach, Richardson etc.

I agree.

Smith has done a great job to get Katsidis this far, 2nd in command to keep a watchful eye over Katsidis is a great idea. A leader in training the best to be their best would be awesome for Katsidis to the next step in a war amongst world warriors.

 

Time off.

Those last few rounds were barbaric.

He doesn't necessarily need to retire, but no rushing back into the lion-filled arena for this gladiator.

A soft-touch opponent in the spring just to get his rhythm back and shake off rust would be a good start. Until then...rest up and heal (physically and emotionally). Malignaggi, maybe...or Anthony Peterson.

 

with kats style what could any new trainer change to improve him at his age , sure you could coach in more defence in head movement , footwork , glovework and fighting at a slower pace like green against flores but his offence would suffer and thats his strenght . theres all types of styles and the white heat pace , fanatical swarming/puncher style that katsidis gives us has a price to pay - take two on the chin to land one and just be tougher than your opponents , works against everyone except top notch hispanics

 

i would love to see him smash Peterson.he better wear a
cup that cricketers wear to protect their balls though dirty
stupid sound making,nut puncher.maybe a fight in England.they love him there.Murray or Rees.

 

Those all sound good. :good

 

this very much sums up my reasoning..
hes in his absolute physical prime and like robbie peden has gone as far as hes going to go..

 

You just never know Rusty :think

 

You certainly don't.

 

Geez I wish you would take your own advice and ignore what you are not interested in :deal

 

I see you as like a car wreck that I just can't avert my eyes from.
