Marquez Stops Katsidis in 9!

JMM gave me my favorite fight of the year, behind Pac/marg and Mara/punisher Litzau also gave a stellar performance today. Katsidis did show heart and determination but JMM showed us just why he deserves to be hall of fame inductee. And earns himself another shot at Pac if Roach stops babying him. Superior speed, technique and stamina. what a show! I love how he lead with an uppercut quite a few combinations. I will watch this a few times again tomorrow.:boxing:

Katsidis is a Warrior no doubt about it but JMM is the Ultimate Warrior!!! Mad respect to Katsidis for taking the fight to JMM!!! Plus Mad respect to JMM for getting up once again and getting the stoppage!! Yup, major props to both warriors tonight... Kats gots my respect, he's a gladiator.

Marquez will crush Morales. Probably TKO him in 5. But sure, I get the mindset. Marquez-Morales sounds great on paper. Imagine a fight between them in there primes. Would have been a great one, a war.

I still wanna see the Morales fight, it's like the missing link. Better late than never. They (the promotion) could sell it as the two guys to have recently "beaten" Manny Pacquiao. Would be best around May 5th or Sep 16th... Marquez will crush Morales. Probably TKO him in 5. But sure, I get the mindset. Marquez-Morales sounds great on paper.

Marquez is a great fighter, while Katsidis is good and still can get better. I'm glad they stopped it when they did, Katsidis can get better. If the beating went on any longer Katsidis might never be the same ever again. Even tho, Katsidis was landing his fair of shots. Marquez clearly had the crisper technique and I think had more pop on his punches even tho Kats didn't go down. I think tonight showed how good Kats chin really is and how underrated it is by some people because of the Casamayor fight. he's got a hellava chin... I rewatched the Casamayor fight last night and the shot that dropped him near the end was a bad one. He moved his body and head right into it and Casa caught him with full force, just a very bad shot that would've dropped any fighter pretty much. I think he just got caught a bit cold in the first round, it happens. And Casamayor always had the ability to drop people with them laser like counters.

All the credit in the world to JMM. If no Pac I would love to see JMM-Soto. No interest in the Morales fight I still wanna see the Morales fight, it's like the missing link. Better late than never.

Real artistry in the ring. Katsidis showed a lot of improvement, though. He turned himself from a bomber to a true inside fighter. He just picked the wrong guy to do it against. Kats has shown great improvements, but yeah, Marquez was still too good for him. I'd like to see Kats get a rematch with Casamayor or Diaz though. I think he whoops them both now.

Fight shouldn't have been stopped. i agree bro,But marquez smelled blood and was going for the kill.

Fight shouldn't have been stopped. While I would have liked to see a definitive KO, nobody wants to see another Margarito like beatdown... Kats head looked like it was on a swivel.

great fight,marquez had it all the way but katsidis made it tough. feel bad for katsidis,he fights on losing his brother,i thought the questioning to him bout his bro on a loss was a bit classless. he should know that even a great defeat he is a true warrior that everyone is proud of,like the spartan 300 he lost but boy did he give it a good go!. he should fight the other champs,and will win that title against them. hes fought tough opposition and fought bravely and smarter of late too. he deserves much respect for being so entertaining,he is a true winner,not some one who ducks and robs wins and bores to win,but a true fighter and a real entertainer. seems floyds isnt ready as "time isnt right" whatever the **** that means!. so marquez v pac 3 has to happen, catch welterweight limit. not 147,not 140, just inbetween to accomodate both guys.or allow marquez to come in a bit lighter than pacman.

I think it was an appropriate stoppage. Micheal's head was just getting banged around after a while. I mean, he was still fighting and that's great, but he was really getting punished in there.

Fight shouldn't have been stopped.

marquez is my fav african mexican fighter

Marquez is a pure technician That was beautiful
