Yo Champ. I agree and thought he looked amazing for the first half of the fight until Katsidis insane work right caught up with him. I thought he was owning Katsidis at first and had amazing combinations and excellent defense. I never really watched Escobedo fight before but he impressed me and I'd definitely like to see him fight again.

Erm i didn't think he looked good at all imo the fact that he won on one scorecard was borderline criminal..

I dont think he won the fight either. I just thought I was noticing a lot of similarities between him and Oscar Larios.

that was pretty de****able but, he did look really good in the first half. I thought it was a bad fight for him. Too good of a fighter too soon, going from a shot Kevin Kelley to a prime Michael Katsidis is a HUGE jump. He should've fought someone like david Diaz, Jesus Chavez, Jorge Barrios, Marco Antonio Barrera, Julio Diaz, Rolando, or just anybody along those lines. Not a top top guy but, someone good enough to really test you.

That pressure from Kasidis was simply relentless.
