Khan, I'd wager. This would be a great next fight for both of them, because I'm sure Katsidis would fancy his chances as well.
Katsidis KO's this chinny mug. As sooh as he connects Khan goes down. Kats is not a great boxer but he can hit.
It COULD - But it would take 10-12 rounds of sustained concentration - I say Katsidis drags him into a war and clubs him down - Great fight though even if that didn't turn out like that - I'd pay for that one.
there a lot of khan v. _____ threads out there and the common theme is that there is always a good chance, not just a chance, but a good chance that khan gets ko'd. It almost impossible to go an entire fight w/o getting hit by one good power shot and khan just doesnt seem to be able to handle it. he's got some serious tools but he can't take a punch.
I think Khan could win if he keeps his hands up and uses his movement and handspeed to keep Katsidis off, I think he has a very good chance of stopping him aswell, but with any Khan fight, especially against an aggressive puncher theres a chance he will get KO'd especially against a fighter that comes to fight.
I would love to see this fight. I dont reckon Khan could stick to his game plan and would end up going at it with Katz which would end up with Khan getting KOed.
Khan by stoppage. There's an absolutely stunning difference in speed, skills and defense. Funny thing is with Khan you don't even have to give punchers an extra chance when you are predicting a fight for the kid as Amir can be stopped by an average puncher too, therefore, and listen carefully, with all fighters packing a decent punch have a chance stopping Khan, the faster and technically more sound have the better chance landing that shot. Since the gap is huge between Khan and Katsidis in those areas, I give Michael singnificantly smaller chance delivering the KO than let's say Julio Diaz, Yuri Romanov, or Joan Guzman. Realistically, Katsidis has about 25% chance landing that punch. Up to the point he does, he gets dominated, and if he can't land that punch Khan delivers a cut or 20 light punch combo stoppage.
