Khan vs Katsidis almost a done deal.

[Vadrigar.]

Katsidis just needs to sign accroding to WildCrad gym photographer Miguel Salazar.

Apparently he will release a video of Khan getting a beating in sparring by Benavidez on the scene of boxing.

Jose benavidez loads up on his punches exactly like tommy hearns, there is also a picture of him delivering one to khans chin but I cant find it.

EDIT: found picture

How'd you think he took the shot?


THEGURUOFBOXING123's prediction for the fight:

[$Bullsfam$]

OMG. that'd be absolutely terrible for Khan!!!! It's lose lose. It's not somebody he should be fighting, and he'll get KO'd IMO.

It will be good preparation for maidana because katsidis is a pressure fighter

[S.G.]

Not too happy with this match-up, but as long as he wins convincingly and fights Maidana or even a better 140lber than Maidana before the end of the year as well it's cool I suppose.

doesnt matter, win lose he's gta fight big punchers.

for a fight in 9 weeks time, a "keep busy" fight, Katsidas is a good choice. i'd rather it Prescott but Katsidas would be a great match

[Ryn0]

I think Khan will KO Katsidis, will take bets on that one.

The plan was for Khan to fight 3 times this year. Already fought Paulie, they need a decent fight in the summer and then a serious fight in the fall. Khan/Katsidis isn't that bad.

[Grimmer]

Anyone who complains about this fight needs to remember one thing, he is not fighting Katsidis instead of Maidana.

Maidana cannot fight in July. So it's either Khan v Katsidis or Khan v Nobody.

Khan is pretty brave taking this match against a dangerous pressure fighter who can pop in just over 2 months after Khan went 11 rounds with Paulie.

[wazaa.]

I wanted Khan-Prescott . Katsidis was my 2nd choice, so its all good.

[John Hue]

This will be a good fight IF it is made. Katsidis is big looking for a light weight so I don't see him having problems fighting at LWW. This will be Khan's first competative fight one where it is not almost a cert what the outcome will be. Khan needs a fight like this to gain credibility as he has been spoon fed too much. I will believe that this fight is made when it is confirmed as it goes right against the pattern of Khan's career so far.
