Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
That just shows how cool and confident a fighter is before a fight.. Should he stay in the locker room in cold sweat and walk around back and forth?
IT's good that he's relaxed.
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?

Was a decent fight and burns showed good skills and defense thruout. The rounds kats won he won on workrate, wasn't able to land much cleanly and didn't get into the fight till the fourth or fifth round. Burns definitely deserved the nod but the cards were a tad bit wide for me. Not a knock on burns but kats' wars I think have caught up to him somewhat, he certainly isn't shot, but at times his punches just didn't seem to have any snap on em.
I expected Katsidis to win by stoppage, but maybe I've been underrating Burns.
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
Paul Smith looks like a crack head. I like that.
Go Smith!
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
At first I thought that was a bad stoppage, but Smith seemed pretty wobbly.
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
It was a hometown decision.

Wasnae even the home country , let alone Burn's home town. :)
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
Burns completely dominated the fight, his body shots looked to really discourage kat and by the middle rounds kat had no sting in his punches left, great performance by burns
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
Sounds like Katsidis started cold, stupid mistake taking rounds to warm up to speed.
Good on Burns anyway.
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
I had it a draw, with a hint of bias from me for Kat, but Michael is very crude.
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
Ricky did box well off the back foot,and he did block most of Katsidis shot's, to me 8 to 4 for Burn's it's about landing shot's Ricky did and Katsidis did not.?
Re: Katsidis too relaxed?
Burns won. I would say he won by two points. Katsidis done what he always does. Puts his head down and hands up, pushes his opponents to the ropes and keeps fighting, beating his opponents by pure workrate or knocking them out. The problem for Katsidis is that he is not a thinking fighter and does not addapt to the situation. Burns had a great gameplan. Jab him, when on the ropes defend until he can move to one side and get off them. Pick him off in the centre of the ring. When Burns defence weakened near the end of the fight he changed his tactica a little and pushed Katsidis back to the centre of the ring and broke off so he did not get hit against the ropes too much.
A very good game plan from Burns.
