BlueStriker Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Both fighters are coming off their first loss and Diaz is fighting in his home town. Should be a great fight. Oh boy, Katsidis is coming out in his warrior helmet! :gr: Time to rock and roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStriker Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Round 4, Katsidis has a slight cut on above his eye. Diaz is probably winning on the scorecards for all the rounds. He's gotta knock Diaz out to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStriker Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Katsidis loses by decision. It wasn't a fair decision because it was a split decision, which I don't believe how any one judge can have Katsidis ahead in points. I couldn't believe what I was hearing from Katsidis coach in the final rounds saying things like "You're doing great, keep it up, I haven't seen these things from you in a long time, it's really special", etc. The guy was in the last round losing, without a doubt. He needed to hear stuff like "Listen Mike, you NEED to knock him down, give everything you got." It was obvious to everyone that he needed a knockout to win it. At best, I give him 3 rounds, at best. In the interview, his coach was saying "The one judge got it right, Mike won this fight". Don't know what match he was watching. All that being said, I like this guy Katsidis. After the match when being interviewed he was nothing but respectful to his opponent as well as his opponent's home fans (even though they were booing him :tdown: ), and full of smiles and laughs. Even though I was pissed off that he lost, his attitude after the match made me smile. He seems like a good guy. I wish him the best. I think it will take a while to get back into contention for a belt after 2 consecutive losses. He's still young, so hopefully he can bounce back.

NYPAO13 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 hes a 1 dimentional fighter, who cannot adapt to his opponents, Diaz beat him with the jab all night, & Katsidis couldnt figure out how to get past the jab. The irony is that you could tell that HBO was dying for him to win in order to market him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStriker Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Oh definitely HBO was banking on him. He's an exciting fighter, but sometimes it takes more than being exciting to the fans to be a top notch fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro2004 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 He's going to fight the undefeated Kevin Mitchell on May 15 in London (Upton Park, West Ham's stadium). There will be 25k there to support Mitchell so Katsidis will have to be ready for a war against Mitchell and the crowd. Mitchell is a big hitter too so this is bound to be explosive. Mitchell is slight favourite according to the bookies. This could go either way. :gr: Here's a couple of analysts discussing the fight and coming to different conclusions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
