Comments Thread For: Katsidis' Trainer: Khan Fight Not Likely, John Murray Maybe

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Michael Katsidis' trainer Brendon Smith, a fight with WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan is not likely to happen on July 31 in England. Smith said Katsidis, the WBO's interim-lightweight champion, was turned down as an opponent for Khan's debut in America. Smith thinks the fight is too risky for Khan at this point.

aHHHHHHHH, sh**

I was anticipating this so much.

They want to go for the easier option!

Its a tune up fight, who gives a crap who the opponent is. I want Khan fighting some good 140lbs next and from now on though.

I aint goona believe anything until contracts are signed also.

This is not a surprise. The Katsidis/Khan fight goes right against the padded pattern of Khan's career to date. If Roach has turned down Katsidis already this fight is not going to happen. I was hoping that Khan might step up the opposition now that he has his US debut behind him but that is wishful thinking.
I think we have been taken for a ride again by the Team Khan publicity machine riding the momentum of Katsidis win over Mitchell.

I prefer to see Katsidis vs Murray than Khan.

This is Murrys opportunity to get his last break into the limelight.

Smith has suggested Khan is afraid and Roach is afraid, but Murray isn't. Might just be the worm on the hook to get the fish to bite. Let's hope so. I don't think Katsidis has any interest in Murray at all. Marquez, Diaz and Khan is the pecking order.

Murray would be destroyed. I just heard an interview now with Roach saying they'd take Katsidis in a heart beat. Katsidis camp doesn't want Khan.

Murray get 20,000? **** off. Mitchell only got 14,000 in the arena and they weren't even boxing fans. No way does Murray get that many.
