So snakey was sitting in his lounge room today (easter sunday) thinking to himself that he would like to have a punt on the cassamayor/katsidis fight. Ive seen both guys fight alot and im stuck between my boxing knowledge and my loyalty to supporting an aussie fighter. Joels skill vs katsidis raw power and heart.

So i went down to the local tab and decided id go with my brain and put 10 bucks on joel for a win by ko. It would pay 55 bucks if i was right and like i said to the attendent, i know how this fight is ending.

I sit on my lounge eagerly waiting the start of the fight. Still torn between my head and my fellow countrymen. The start of the fight is a good one for my bet, within one minute katsidis hits the canvas not once but twice. My dad says to me "i thinking youll be collecting some money" and i calmy say "I know".

Couple rounds later katsidis is still there and causing havoc, ripping massive body shots and throwing right hand bombs and DOWN goes cassamayor. Even though i have money on the other guy im jumping up and down yelling FINISH HIM KATSIDIS FINISH THE FUCKER! Katsidis had made a massive comeback and was stealing rounds and winning over the crowd.

But just like my head told me, cassa would be able to take the young fighter into deep water and would have enough skill to land when it would count. 10th round and katsidis sprints in and lands a massive right and then BAMB! Down he goes after a counter left hand from joel. At this time i knew it was over, katsidis legs are gone and he can barely stand. I feel my heart sink, courages effort but not enough.

But the 55 bucks made up for that little moment Good one michael for giving it his all, he does have a future in the sport. Just needs to work on his defence and setting up his punches a little better.
