Katsidis vs Mitchell has FOTY potential.

I figured he'd try to box Prescott, but eventually his heart would rule his head and he'd end up going to war.

Having learnt nothing from that incorrect prediction, I'm going to make it again for this fight.

Katsidis is pretty good at cutting off the ring, so Mitchell isn't going to be able to stay on his toes all night and take a wide UD. At some point he's going to have to plant his feet and do some damage. Mitchell showed last time out that he can catch an opponent coming in, and I think that's likely to be his gameplan next weekend.

Even though Katsidis isn't hard to hit, I think the Casamayor fight made him look worse than he really is. It wasn't just a matter of Casa being tricky and skillful, it was also the fact that he's a southpaw. I can see him being able to make it a war of attrition, which would suit him as he's the bigger, stronger guy.

50/50 fight but leaning towards Katsidis.

why? what kind of statement is this. Pretty baseless. Mitchell is a talented fighter who would have made the level he is at regardless of where he fought as long as he was properly managed and trained. Some guys can fight and others can't. Simple as.


Katsidis is going to catch a lot of shots trying to bore his way in, and if he doesn't, well, Mitchell will just go to war and put him out that way.

Should be a great fight. Mitchell is the classier more multi-dimensional fighter who should be too talented for Katsidis.

I just don't think against a physical fighter who is actually skilled that he will fair very well. Maybe I'm wrong but watching his last fight I was not overly impressed.

I just really think his lack of physical strength and ability will really hurt him on the top level. Mighty Mike Arnoutis(cant spell his name), is the perfect example. If you've ever seen him fight in person, he is extremely sharp and in extremely good condition, not small for his weight class, and is pretty damn fast. I was quite impressed by him when I saw him fight up close. But against top competition he gets bullied.

It's a different world once your on the top level.
