Comments Thread For: Michael Katsidis Prepared For a War in Earl Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MICHAEL Katsidis thought he had sung his final song.

Two years spent on the sidelines after wooing fans around the world during an exciting five-year international career looked to have ended his days in the boxing spotlight.

But a return to his beloved home-town Toowoomba has given Katsidis new voice and a hunger to chase a special career win at Rumours International next week.

Katsidis will look to continue his successful return to the ring under trainer-manager Brendon Smith when he meets England's Graham Earl in a rematch of their memorable 2007 WBO world lightweight title fight.

Katsidis fan 4 Life. I'm watching

I'm sure the 2 years out of the ring did him some good. At 33 years old he probably still has a lot of fight in him yet.

I admire Michael, got a lot of heart, just gone up against some tough competition.

My friend and I met Earl after the Burns-Katsidis fight, and he was punch drunk as anything. Very friendly chap and got a pic taken with him ringside. We even asked jokingly "When's the rematch gonna happen?", but we could tell that his days in a ring should be long over.

3 years later, and that rematch is actually happening. :conf3:

I'd love to see Kats beat up Kevin 'Chav' Mitchell again.

Not really IMO. He's had several fights where he took pretty bad punishment plus a whole career of being a face first kind of fighter. I think his days as a fighter should be over full stop but his days of being able to hang with decent fighters are most definitely over, the guys chin has been cracked and he doesn't have the technical skills to box any differently at a high level, the guys done.


That said this fight will be a good scrap

And not to mention he's got one of the worst trainers to ever corner a world title fight in Brendan smith. His between round advice consists of "now mick, breathe, in, and out"

this is joke fight and it shouldn't be allowed
Katsidis might end up doing some serious damage to Graham Earl
