Kat's corner was shithouse, so devostated right now. What was he getting him to do for the first 6 rounds? You can't give away the first 6 rounds and expect to win.
I find it funny when katsidis "boxes"
he thinks "boxing" is when u circle ur opponent and dont do shit. lol
haha nah apparently he has been practicing boxing "for real" i'll find the article for here.

I didn't see Katsidis yesterday, but the folks at the gym say the Aussie of Greek descent has been looking pretty sharp.
"Michael looks well from what I've seen," said Dean Byrne, an 8-0 junior welterweight prospect from Ireland who has relocated to L.A. to further his career. "He definitely looks better than he did before the Casamayor fight. If he had the form he's showing now I think he would have beat Casamayor."
Roach agreed with Byrne's assessment of the usually relentless slugger from Down Under.
" has been boxing for this camp," he said. "He looks a lot better now than he did for Casamayor."
One of Katsidis's sparring partners, junior featherweight prospect Alejandro Perez, was in the gym while I was there.
Perez, a 22-year-old from Salinas with a 12-1 record, sparred with Katsidis a few times last year (when the Aussie thought he had a match with Joan Guzman) and went six rounds with him this past Tuesday.
"The last time I sparred with Katsidis he just stood in front of me, wanting to go toe to toe," said Perez, who now lives in Los Angeles where he trains and also attends L.A. City College. "Now he's moving more; he doesn't stand in one place. And he's also working on his counter punching.
"He's good when he boxes. I'm thinking that he can beat Diaz and I wouldn't have said that last year."
I watched nearly the whole card for that PPV, only the championship fight lasted longer than 1 round. Personally I don't want to watch two guys rolling around on the ground, sure it takes a lot of strength and skill, but it's just boring to watch. Then when the fights are on their feet they get punched a couple of times or elbowed once and get knocked out. It's kind of lame when an ex "pro wrestler" can come in and defeat the champion in his fourth fight simply because he's a mountain of a man. Hell they should get the rock in there next see if he wants to have a go.
I predict that this message board is the only place you'll be able to read about it. If you called the middle school gym where this is being held and asked for a press pass, they'd probably laugh hysterically and hang up the phone.
I think your mistaken, this fight is a promoters dream, full on grudge match of raw passion. This saga will have only one ending Zelenoff rocking the tomato out of his can in a third round stoppage with his massive right hand...

Yeah hartley called the airport a plane station in one of his youtube vids, stupid people should be banned from video cameras, this would not allow shows like big brother to continue. Thus making the world a much better place.
Could explain why he didn't brawl as much as I thought he was going to, especially in the later rounds. To be honest I still blame his shitty trainer :(
