    Andrade and Katsidis

    I've seen Casamayor fight numerous times, and he has my favorite style of "boxer/puncher." He has the ideal style for a short armed fighter. Now I've never seen Michael Katsidis fight before, but after Saturdays bout, his quickness and sharpness is legit. Not only that but he was gettin pegged with Head Butts and gettin hugged all night and he didn't even complain once, it's just he got fatigued and reached in late. You don't do that in a fight of this significance and against a fighter of Joels caliber. Joel may be old and unable to move like he use to, but he knows offense. Based on his natural Boxing/Puncher style, you can bet your ass, when he's hurt or fatigued, he'll go straight into counter mode. He won't brawl with you at all, he'll go straight to preying on the moment you make a mistake. Katsisidis, already fatigued and lookin dead, he went in and ate a basic punch to lay him out. Thinkin he can gamble with his chin, but he couldnt.

    Needless to say, with his quick sharp shots, and the fact he didn't complain about the blatant head butts and frequent hugging, (you'd think Joel has a crush on Mike) he had to endure, I enjoy'ed his style and I wish him nothing but the best. Mike has nothin to be ashamed of and should get another televised fight before stepping up again. I mean seriously, what isn't there to like about him? To make a comeback like he did before he got stopped on his feet...Theres nothin you can dislike about him. He comes to fight.



    Now..lol Limbrado Andrade, lol I love watchin this guy fight, he's like the middleweight version of Miguel Huerta. Huerta has his quick power shots he can throw for 12 rounds that amazes you, and Andrade has his ability to get punched and eat it like a sandwich and comes back with ripping hard **** of his own for the entire 12. His chin alone is worth a PPV undercard showcase if you can tap into the amasment of him being able to stay throwing and eatting your pitty shots like giant red apples instead of giant red boxing gloves. Andrade is a beast and always fun to watch.

      Major props to both fighters, Katsidis proved that he can hang with the cream of the crop at 135 and Casamayor showed that he has a few good fights left in him. I was very impressed with Katsidis not complaining about getting fouled too, Casamayor landed a few low blows and several blatant head butts that for some reason the referee missed.

      Unfortunately, with the way Katsidis takes shots, it doesn't seem like he'll have a long career and Casamayor did look like an old fighter at times and sooner rather than later I think his skills will deteriorate, his speech is already slurring a bit.

      Overall, a very, very good fight and I'm looking forward to seeing Katsidis fight again and hopefully Casamayor gets 1 or 2 big paydays and calls it a day.
