Thread: Katsidis - Earl Rematch!

Fightnews.com says that Katsidis and Earl are fighting again. I dont know what to think about this, it was a hell of a fight. But surely why has Earl been given this opportunity? It will be over in the first round...

I think Katsidis has recognised he needs to step down a level or keep getting duffed up.

Earl though?

The fight is going to take place in Oz from what I hear.

LOL my post in the other thread must of been ignored. Katisidis wants a fight at home coz hes been fighting overseas for the last few yrs. He has tried to get other fighters to come here including a world champ (cant remember who it was) but no one will so Earl is his last resort i think.

This is disgusting, How the fuck can this fight be given the green light? SOmeone needs to get this stopped. Earl is done and could seriously get beat 60 year old Duran would of been a better opponent. SHame on Kats team taking this fight. Just check out this guy who sparked Earl out in one round a guy who hasnt ever fought past 8 round fights.

Henry Castle - Boxer

Then Earls last fight which he won on points was against Karl Taylor with the record wait for it...

Won 16
Drawn 7
Lost 142

This was Earls last fight 2 years ago this fight is sick I would be ashamed if I was Katsidis.

Yeah I get how you can say a guy like Katsidis can be ashamed. Hes been fighting overseas for the past 5 yrs straight, in the last two yrs he has fought Joel Cassamayor, JMM, Robert Guerrero, Juan Diaz, Jesus Chavez, Vincente Escobedo and Kevin Mitchell, always puts on an exciting show...yeah hes got alot to be ashamed of. He couldnt get anyone to come here and fight, its been all through our newspapers. Earl was the only one keen.

Sad and pointless

job biscuit (i repeat sad and pointless)!!!

eh eh!!!

What's the over/under....45 seconds

Earls team and promoter shouldnt let this fight happen he shouldnt be fighting at all, let alone Katsidis wanting to make it happen.

Earl has'nt even got a slim chance of winning. He gets destroyed within 90 seconds for me.

Katasidis needs an easy match, I would like him to fight Murray after he beats Mitchell.

Mate, no one has said that Kats hasn't taken on great opposition, but this is a disgrace. Graham Earl is a Paul Briggs kind of situation. He's not even getting any bouts here because people don't want to fight him. I've even read on another forum that the win over the journeyman that Skel posted was a lot closer & could've been a win for the other fella who staggered him. Just happened to be Earl's hometown & his promotion.

No promoter would touch him on name value over here because of fears over his safety. So think about it, people like Fat Mick & Warren are refusing to use his name value for even their weaker prospects. So putting him in with one of the top 5 LWs in the world & probably one of the 3 hardest punchers at the weight is a recipe for dragging this sport into the gutter. The only hope is that it ends very quickly otherwise we might see something horrible happen in the ring.

Absolutely daft. Earl is retired.

This has to be a joke.
