I had it 85-82 Casa, which is pretty much what that entire FightJudge site had. Katsidis won rounds 4-6 on my card and that was it. I had no stock in either guy and I'm no fan of either. If anything, I'm not a fan of Katsidis and I've never liked Casa.

When referees start to let fighter continue based on their past history of coming back, that's how fighter get seriously hurt.Comment

I was actually surprised the referee let it go on when Katsidis got up, because when he told Katsidis to walk to him, Katsidis' legs were clearly gone and he was wobbly. I guess he wanted to give Katsidis the benefit of the doubt because of his reputation of being able to overcome such obstacles but when he got hit by another left hand followed by the right and was shook up again, he had to stop it. Good stoppage.Comment

I thought it was a decent stoppage, & a pretty clear example of Katsidis's inexperience.
Got up immediately after the knockdown, & tried to go straight up to Casamayor when he got up.
No attempt to wait to the count reaches 8 or 9 while trying to collect himself, no attempt to try & hold on when the count ends,
basically no attempt at all to try & buy time while pulling himself back together & was still clearly on ***** street at the time of the stoppage.
If you are badly hurt & not intelligently defending yourself, the referee's job is to stop the fight, & Katsidis wasn't. End of story.
Now Casamayor in a similar position would of waited until the count reached 9, then grabbed, shoved, stuck his head in his opponents face & held on for dear life, & that's experience.
Hopefully Katsidis will learn.Comment
