If you read his statement, its game on pal...... Katsidis still wants it.....

Definatley still on.

Bow what's peoples thoughts on hoe this will effect the Kat? Will it sub consciously disturb his fight and Pre fight prep? Or, will he be like a man possessed and it will give him that but extra to win.

I think this has FOTY written all over it.

Katsidis just turned a one-sided, UD loss into a mid-round, early stoppage loss. One look at Katsidis resume and it's damn near impossible to even fathom a win for him over the great Marquez. Katsidis is a physically strong fighter. But I think his power is overrated. He comes forward. That's about it. He doesn't hit as hard as the juiced up Pacquiao. A fighter Marquez beat twice. Nor does he come anywhere close to possessing his speed and quickness. He blocks punches with his face. Has no head movement. And he's prone to cuts. Really the more I think about it, it might be in Katsidis best interest to pull out of the fight. He's in that over his head. I know he misses his brother. Worse case scenario I would hate for him to have to go meet up with him

You also think Pac is drug free. Goes to show maybe you shouldn't be thinking. Not your strong suit

Credit for Katsidis for continuing to take the fight.
