I'm watching JMM-Katsidis again and of course Mike is no Mayweather but if there is a fight where your opponent is dominated and shut out why do you not employ any of those tactics? Katsidis never blocked shots, defended, pot shot, fainted etc.. He fought JMM the way Juan Diaz did and that only got Diaz KO'd. Just like it got Katsidis KO'd.
I think fighters who can not adapt or utilize a proven strategy should just retire, its only going to get you hurt.
i understand where ur coming from but not everybody is 3 dimensionals
if tyson was losing, you wouldnt expect him to get on his toes and dance, it really depends on the fighters attributes and whats already there
he should move his head a lot more, be more elusive
JMM we've learned Is a pretty good boxer who can be outboxed, I never saw his fight with Casamayor but I heard he gave JMM a lot of problems before he was stopped. If that is the case its just more evidence thst it never hurts to fight a smart fight. The brawling style is exciting but really is an odd way to go about your business in the ring. Do some fighters really like to take punishment? Me personally I hate to get hit.

You are 100% correct
He should have just dropped his style that he used his whole career and starting fainting and pot shooting, even though he has never done that
Maybe he should have also shown us some pullcounters and his amazing boxing skills
Why not, he had nothing to lose, unless you think trying new techniques or strategies is foolish.
Wow.
Kats fought JMM the best way he knew how.
You do what your the best at.
If he would have tried to fight differently the fight would have ended much earlier.
He played into JMM's style.
But he also gave himself the best chance at winning.
Pretty much. Don't expect a guy like Katsidis o outbox JMM. He wasn't going to become a technician overnight.
To me though, you have to try different tactics sometimes, fighters arent suppose to be that predictable. Why even bother training, or developing a gameplan or strategy If your only going to do the same thing repeatedly. My senses would of told me I can't fight jmm the way I fight everybody else, I have to fight smarter.
