Watching Marquez vs Katsidis and I have 1 question...

He's not a dirty fighter, he's always fought like that. The power doesn't look very impressive when he throws those sort of punches, Marquez wasn't complaining.

Im surprised bayless did nothing about it. Katsidis was using dir ty tactics, just because hes likeable dont make it ok for him to fight dirty.

yeahhhhh, I was like what is this? i never saw something like this. same right hand in this dubios way of throwing all the time. hihi :fing02:

I had the same question. It bothered me so much because Kats is capable of extending his right hand. Weird punch. It had no power behind it yet it landed more than half of the time. It was just so strange....did they not think to work on that at training camp?

Definitely weird looking and pretty funny. Talking about this fight, what surprised me was that Kats said afterwards that JMM was stronger than him. Didn't expect that at all Do you think he meant that generally or actually about pure strength?

im suprised his trainer hasnt tried to fix his technique on that punch....but maybe its just a habit that kats got into when he was young and cant change it this late in his career

yeah, my friend and I were talking about that the whole fight, the way he was throwing that right hand. We were both like, "there's no way he's getting much impact on that."

It would have been more effective in the old days with rougher gloves, seams, etc. I imagine the worst of it is rug burn after the fight. agreed, it couldn't cause a cut but it could be irritating? Really though it is a terrible, terrible show of form...

but I can't imagine it has any effect on his opponent. Perhaps it could cause a cut, but only on swollen tissue.... It would have been more effective in the old days with rougher gloves, seams, etc. I imagine the worst of it is rug burn after the fight.

its like a weird corkscrew hook/straight hybrid punch lol

a good stoppage by Bayless, though. Katz was completely and totally done.

It's borderline (if not outright) illegal a lot of the time. The way he yanks it down, it often becomes a flush forearm to the face with some leather skinning on it. When he gets a full glove rake off it, it must be among the most annoying punches to take in the game (i.e. it might not KO you, but that has to burn). but I can't imagine it has any effect on his opponent.

Yeah, it got on my nerves too... If it would have been a better thrown right hand, he might have had a better shot in the fight...It landed all night..:dunno: Man it was SO weird...almost looks like he was throwing elbows, but im sure it feels like a slap to Marquez, I don't think that could hurt any top 10 fighter in his division.

Yah I noticed that too. Idk why the ref never said anything bout it..

What is the deal with Katsidis' right hand? One of the strangest things I have ever seen. Almost crablike, and so amateur for a guy fighting for championships.... Yeah, it got on my nerves too...
