I think Khan needs to wear headgear for his next match. Whoever it is. :shakehead:
He should fight Kid Thunder or Hillbilly Pimp next. I see a youtube career in the future for Khan.;D

Somebody please, put a gag on Kellerman, he drives me crazy with his grandstanding comments. :mad:
In this case, I actually agree with Kellerman and his lady-boy beard. As much as it hurts to admit :eek:.
It's not that I disagree with what he said, I just can't stand the ways he does it. He always has something to grandstand about at every fight. I'm just tired of hearing his fuking annoying voice. ;)

His trainer needs to have his fucken head checked telling Kats everythings "marvelous" and going well. Dumb ass!!!
Kats right eye seems to swell up very fast and that can be damaging to his sight. I just feel that when you weigh things out it just not might be worth it.
As soon as the fight started Mick i was in shock at Katsidis boxing especially when its obvious Diaz is the superior boxer i thought he might be saving his energy for the later rounds so his power might become factor but when he tried to turn it on Diaz was far too good on the defense but Katsidis should of just jumped on Diaz right away and worked his body not a very good gameplan at all from Katsidis.

I can't disagree with that. When he gets on his soapbox, his mannerisms are similar to a cop giving a lecture about speeding.

That's why I missed what the trainer was :bawling: about because I shut off the link so I didn't have to listen to Kreepy Kellerman. Was he bobbing his head up and down:confused:

I honestley expected him to be put on his heels tonight.At the very least in spots no less ??He is a high octane offensive fighter & showed nice side to side off uppers too.Does repeat & reach off the jab though.I think he takes Casamayor.

The proposed Molitor - Caballero unification. Molitor has got some big physical disadvantages to overcome in this one.

I think Marquez will win, but I doubt Jones will (unless Calzaghe has really slipped), now back in the day it would've been a different fight entirely.

Ahh your fellow Canadian i like Steve Molitor alot i think he is very skilled patient fighter with good countering skills been following him ever since he beat Michael Hunter and i think he could beat Israel Vasquez aswell.

Yeah, I worry about this fight because Caballero has such a big physical advantage over Molitor. I also think there are a few questions surrounding Molitor's chin that need to be answered before I'd pick him over Vasquez, though those questions will likely be answered in his next fight. I'd like to see that fight if he gets by Caballero though.

SD win for Diaz. Even 116-112 seemed far fetched.
I expected to see 118-110, maybe 117-111, but 115-113 and even 113-115 is crazy to me. Lenox Lewis was talking like it could be 120-108.
Diaz boxed well, but its not like he looked ready to beat Pacman or anything. Good solid win over a less skilled opponent.

Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
For the benefit of those who didn't see the fight, since there was a contraversey in the scoring, Harold Lederman gave Kats 2 of the 12 rounds and those were two close rounds. There was no noticable difference in the power of the two, Kats was just outclassed in the skill department.
As for Kellerman, I don't think he grandstands. When he interviews fighters he tries to get to the heart of the matter. He's trying to get the fighters to say something interesting, and that's not always easy.
-
Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
Not saying that kats could every beat diaz, he might just not be skilled enough, but for the first 6 rounds he fought a completely wrong fight, and for the last 6 rounds he only fought the fight he should be fighting in select spots. His trainer must have smoked some good shit before the fight to have been behaving the way he was, I mean wtf was he watching, the boxing part was obviously not working for kats and one could argue that when it turned into somewhat of a brawl he was losing that as well, but at least he was catching diaz with some shots then, and i figured kats could take more punishment than diaz. I really like kats good fighter tremendous heart but I can't see how glenada or whatever his name is had it 115-113 closest score I could realistically would be 116-112 for diaz. Also I don't think kats needs to necessarily fight lesser skilled opponents he just needs a new trainer that knows what in the hell they're doing, or are at least even halfway competent at their job.

Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
I thought HBO and Lederman were way off. They get worse every fight, it seems. 116-112 for Diaz seemed like a very good score to me. Diaz clearly won, but Kats took more than two rounds. In defense of the judges, I guess I can see 115-113 Diaz, but that's pushing it. Glen Hamada must have been stoned to score it 115-113 for Kats. 118-110 from Lederman was almost as stupid as 115-113 for Kats.
The split decision is poetic justice for Diaz. Campbell was robbed of a UD in the last fight, in which he beat Diaz just as thoroughly as Diaz beat Kats in this one.
-
Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
Fuck yes, that was beautiful. Was just not sure how Diaz would respond.
Casa's nowhere near what he once was, I'd be surprised if he beat Diaz. Guzman is a bad one for him and I don't really want to see it anyway as I'm huge fans of both.
Funny how a bad weight class can quickly turn around, 135's looking pretty good IMO.

I don't think he needs to consider retirement. Like Kellerman said, choosing better opponents more suited to his skill level would be very beneficial, but he's only lost to elite fighters so far, though he has struggled against less than world-class opposition.
He needs a new trainer though, and he trainer needs surgery to remove his head from his own ass.
Well their lies the problem.
Kats in the post fight interview when Max asked him about the oppostion and to turn it down a notch Kats said "Go big or go home"
He said he wanted nothing but the best and that he wasn't looking for easy fights he wanted to make the best of it since a flight back to Oz is a long one.

He completely fought the wrong fight, but more then anything his corner should have told him he was loosing and his corner is shit.
I hope Golden Boy get's him a new trainer.

Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
What about 140 for Kats? Probably more opportunities to get a belt there. He seems like a pretty good sized lightweight.

ye he came in at 150 tonight i think, he could go up and challenge the likes of holt or torres, maybe even hatton or malignaggi
i thought there was going to be a little bit of a robbery in the fight and katsidis might steal the win, im not ashamed to admit that would have made me very happy for katsidis although it wasnt deserved and im suprised the cards didnt actually show how one sided the fight was at times
i dont know were katsidis can go from here, his been found wanting on two occasions now when venturing into the top end of the division, infact his in a similar situation to khan now were the choice of his next opponent is critical to his career i think,

Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
godda run, but my oversimplified assessment....
katsidis spent so much time tying to get inside and take away diaz's punching room that he actually forgot to punch back. that's a natural consequence of that style of fighter.
and diaz handled it perfectly by circling.

I actually agree here. I know you hate him because of the Judah-Mayweather fight but he never scores anything right.
Katsidis fought a fairly bizarre fight but to be fair Diaz looked very very good. However, if anything was taken from the Campbell fight it should have been that Diaz was a bit soft to the body and didn't like body shots. He was on his chest half the fight but for whatever reason did most of his punching from the outside, didn't make any sense at all.
However, the jab from Diaz from was absolutely awesome, very stiff jab I was blown away. He turned Katsidis great in the first half of the fight, was a very encouraging performance for a fan of the guy.
Juarez will never have a fight that's not on HBO or Showtime. Ever. Why? I don't know but that lip was Sebastin Lujan-esque.

Re: Michael Katsidis vs Juan Diaz ICB's RBR
Damn, I missed this because i spent the day with my dad. It was fathers day here in Aus and have been busy with work since. Bad luck Kats. Keep trying.
