He just plain and simple reminds me of Iron Mike in there. Sure he has more holes in his game than Mike had in his prime, but the blueprint is still there. He simply is awesome and I actually think he is getting better. He is starting to get some head movement going now.

C'mon some of you at least can see what i see. Am I hallucinating here or onto something?

I remember Dwyer alluding to the same thing in his Katsidis-Mitchell prediction video. I hadn't noticed it before, but yeah - the extreme head movement and peek-a-boo guard is reminiscent of the great Tyson, plus all the rest you mentioned.

And yeah, I'm sure there'll be naysayers who'll come in here and say "How can you disgrace the name of Tyson by comparing that one-dimensional bum Katsidis (who lost to feather-fisted Casamayor and Diaz!!!!!!11111) to him?" Yada yada yada. No shame in comparisons.

I see some similarities, but to me, Kats is Kats.

There can only be one.

He may not be as good as Tyson was, but the heart and soul is still there. I watched the fight today and his whole demeanor was tysonesque. Even when he literally foot chased Mitchell in the first round still trying to get his digs in.

Katsidis has an underrated defense in my opinion. You may have scored the first 2 rounds to Mitchell depending on what you liked. But alot of what Mitchell threw did hit the guard of Katsidis.

Yeah the way he stalked mitchell.

Dwyer said Katsidis reminds him of Tyson.

Did you guys see how Kats was sparring before the fight? Kats is mad crazy! He wasn't doing pad-work like most fighters do to get ready for the fight! He was doing actual sparring in the dressing room! I got video footage of it too.
