It's a real shame for Katsidis.

[Dan...]

Yeah, I respect that Kats will fight anyone, but sometimes a guy needs to be put into easier fights for the sake of his career longevity. I think yesterday was the third fight in a row in which he was the underdog.

Yeah, he just fights the best, its what he does.

Yeah, he just fights the best, its what he does.

That's why I like him.

[Philfy]

All good points. I can remember people calling for Brendan Smith's head as far back as the Juan Diaz fight. If Katsidis had changed trainers back then, things might be very different right now.

I expect they're best mates in real life and Mick probably wouldn't dream of dropping him, no matter how beneficial it could've been. Things won't change this late in his career.
