Talk about motivation....

This is gonna be a fight no Boxing fan should miss!!!!

[Bastian Loc]

who are you rooting for JMM or Katsidis?

JMM is my main man, but I've never been able to hate on Kats.

If he wins, I won't have anything bad to say about it.

Especially after the character he's showing by doing this.

[Orale Vato]

While admirable, this puto is going to get severly knocked the ****k out by Juan.

[bcfc]

Marquez is looking to get ****d IMO.....

[Dagomba]

What a brave guy. Too bad JMM isnt going to be intimidated by this. He will end up KO Katsidis.

No kidding! The fact that Katsidis' brother died and he elects to fight on is admirable.

If he really means what he says, then there will be a lot of emotion in an already exciting match-up.

I like both guys, but my heart's with Katsidis on this one. God bless him!

Statement from katsidis



I have lost my closest friend, my inspiration in life, my one and only brother. This is something I could never imagine, but for some reason I feel his life is not a loss. My brother is me! We live our lives through each other. We dedicate our triumphs to one another and share the challenges we face in life. What does someone do when they lose the one person in their life like this? They are devastated right? Allow me to share with you Stathi's thoughts and what he wants. If you can believe me, I feel you will all be somewhat enlightened to hear what I have say.

The fight will go on! I will do this for Stathi, my family and myself. The moment I walked in for a grueling sparing session after hearing the news of his death earlier that day, my trainer Brendon Smith shook my hand and said to me "you are about to take the bravest step of your life." We nodded, smiled and went to work. I worked as I have never done before. He is with me and will be all the way. I am happy about this.

I have never experienced anything like I felt that day. Stathi is inside me! We will fight this fight together. I know this is what he wants.

I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers for my brother, my family and myself. God bless.

Michael Katsidis.

Amazing stuff.

He can win.

God bless the Katsidis family.

Katsidis is a warrior that represents the best of boxing. Much respect to him

[IIG]

It was going to be good before, but this should especially be a hell of a fight now.
