harmzi Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Anybody want to know when Spunky Katsidis the Great is fighting again! :box: :box: :box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmzi Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 I heard he was going to fight one of the Diaz boys, but I think he could be fighting that Mexican Guy, I'll get his name. There is a boxer in Australia called Anthony Mundine and he is cute and fit also, but not like Michael. Michael doesn't have a big mouth like him!

DUDE Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Fighting on March 22 vs Casamayor--possibly http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=11830 Juan Diaz lost to Campbell which leaves the division wide open. If Katsidis beats Casamayor, he's bound to get a shot at either Diaz or Campbell (depending on who the champ is after the rematch). If he then wins that, Amir Khan wants a shot at him. If he manages to win that too, then he'll solidify himself as a legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUDE Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=AvyG...=yhoo&type=lgns What a great article!!! Thanks alot Loup!!This journalist really knows how to get me excited! lol. Comparing Katsidis to Jake La Motta, saying that he believes Katsidis will fight to the death, and "Katsidis is going to make you say wow at least once in this fight". Hopefully that "WOW" is the KO we all want. DROP HIM IRON MIKE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYPAO13 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Did he spar vs any lefties? he got knocked down twice in the 1st min. then adjusted well. He knocked Casamayor through the ropes & I thought it was finished.He got knocked out in the 10th i think due to inexperiece. He shows alot of promise.. I think HBO was rooting for him. They are looking for the next Gatti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 i wish I saw it ---Canadian TV is often worse than its weather so overall - what grade do you give him? the judges had him up was it scheduled for 10 or 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking for the next Gatti Yes he sparred with southpaws (lefties), but he struggled with it. Although he did break the ribs of one southpaw in sparring, but overall he struggled. To be fair this sort of defeat was coming because his fighting style is too naive. There has never been a fighter, not one, who reached the top without having a great defense. That's something he has to learn. He can still become the undisputed champ but he needs to go back to the drawing board.@Loup, it was scheduled for 12.

NYPAO13 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 he was having success going to the body & it seemed by the 7th he abandoned it & started headhunting. Experience will do him good. HBO will make him $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Finally saw the fight---courtesy of Blue and White GT Very entertaining ---I'm sure HBO will sign him to some sort of deal As far as his abilities go-- the first round showed his inexperience, as did the knockout, which was really just a wild punch that landed, not to take anything away from Casayamor, he is a hell of a fighter. Katsidis must expect these things since he brings out the brawler in his opponents What I liked about him, he is mean and a bit dirty, good attributes for a contender. He has heart, going down 2x and fighting back. And he is tough as hell----that body shot that lead to him knocking Casayamor through the ropes was devistating. Casayamor was in a lot of pain and no doubt Mike would have won the fight if the round didnt end so soon after. And who knocks guys through the ropes anyway :tup: , bravo levente :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to wisen up (there was no need to be throwing wild-open punches like that when he was winning on points), improve his boxing ability (he never jabs!), and tighten up his defence (he gets hit with way too many shots, and because his chin isn't great he can't afford to do that!). He certainly is exciting and has the potential to be the next Gatti imo. But he needs to ake these improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Looks like Septermber vs Jesus Chaves - I have not seen him fight - but he is a veteran who has held a belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Looks like Septermber vs Jesus Chaves - I have not seen him fight - but he is a veteran who has held a belt WOW very tough for a comeback fight after Katsidis' first defeat. Chavez is a Hispanic-Texan, he was the no.1 featherweight in the world a few years ago and was so good he stepped up in weight to fight Mayweather. He's a brawler and a great pressure-fighter. He cuts off the ring well and likes to fight on the inside just like Katsidis. This will be explosive. Katsidis has to improve his defence!!! But "El Matador" is 35 now so I'm sure Katsidis will win.
