    I rather see kat have his health in the future than take another fight that gets his face smashed in. The guy is incapable of fighting without taking big shots. Hopefully his camp knows what there doing with him.

      His size will keep him in longer than Antillion.

      But Rios hits much harder IMO.

      It probably ends in 6 or 7.

        For the sake of Katsidis health, I hope the fight doesnt happen. Kats has taken alot of punishment already. I wanna see Rios against Vazquez or maybe Demarco or even Vazquez-victim Zappavigna.

          I don't think Kats will fully recover from what he's been through over the last year. His brother dying and then JMM beating him. JMM may very well have taken his soul. I would like to see Kats win a world title but he won't againt Rios, who is an animal.

          Rios TKO 9.

          Rios should fight Vazquez and then move up in weight and chase a fight against Soto or Morales, then get a title shot. By then Khan should have moved up in weight so there should be a couple titles vacant (or all 4 titles if Khan beats Bradley or if Bradley vacates and moves up in weight).

              Rios will kill him, it will be as one sided as the Antillon fight and I like Katsidis more.

                Big fan of Katsidis but just like everyone else thinks, I think Rios will wear him down and eventually get a stoppage. Definitely would be a great fight though.

                    Hope it doesn't come off - I've seen Katsidis take enough shocking beatings, and I think Rios may just be too much for him right now, which would mean another shocking beating.

                    I'd like to first see where he is with a lesser opponent than Rios, but a better one than Lozada.

                    So I'd rather see Katsidis-Antillon at this point. Still an exciting, bruising fight, but not quite as potentially damaging as I think the Rios fight could be for Mike.

                      That is a dumb comment. I'm guessing the Rios fight was your first time ever seeing Peterson and you're acting like you knew about him. He was a disciplined and skilled boxer in the amateurs. Rios just picked him apart. There's a reason why Humberto Soto wanted no part of him.
