Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
:confused: :headscratch:
Perez vs. Katsidis WBA Battle in Play For U.S. Venue? - Boxing News
Quote:
By Marcelino Castillo, notifight.com
WBA interim-junior welterweight champion Johan Perez (15-0-1, 12KOs) has officially been approved for a visa to enter the United States. Plans are being discussed for Perez to make his American debut, and his handlers are considering veteran Michael Katsidis (28-6, 23KOs), who recently dropped an upset ten round majority decision to Albert Mensah. Perez is a tough contender, who holds recent victories over Kenny Galarza and Alberto Mosquera.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
I guess in theory that's pretty hurting, but since it's a completely unknown import who has no business holding the strap anyways it's kind of moot imo. I didn't see Katsidis' last fight mind you, and haven't heard of the guy he lost to either. Is he (Katsidis) looking totally shot or is he still good TV?

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
Katsidis should take a couple of easy fights, but I could see him winning this

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
Have you actually seen this Perez guy fight Galaxy? I didn't recognize any name on his record, what's his deal? Katsidis is fun to watch usually but he's taken to much punishment in the last few years and should rest up.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
I saw his last fight. He lost tThe opponent isn't a top guy at 140.
Katsidis keeps losing and the competition level keeps going down. He is just eating punches and doing damage to himself that is going to take years off of his life.
It is a joke that he has lost 4 out of 5 fights and he is going to be up for some sort of trinket fight. Gives one an idea of how ueless and corrupt the sanctioning bodies are.

Agree kat does not deserve this but from a promoters point of view he's exciting to watch and a ticket seller

Bits, mostly highlights

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
I'm against any fighter getting a title shot after a loss, but whatever. I'll still watch it.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
Hope Katasidis wins this fight and title. It is true he is no longer an elite fighter.

Both actually. Although I wouldn't say shot more like extremely shopworn ;D

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
I really like him but I wanna flog his trainer for not teaching the man that taking in the punch flush in the face repeatedly doesn't score you points with the judges. For the love of god teach the man some defense.
-
Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
The guy he last lost to was very solid. Wouldn't be surprised to see Katsidis still pull out a good fight against somebody else.

His trainer split up with him one or three fights ago after telling him he should retire and is now trying to make a go of it training and promoting shows in Tooawoomba or wherever it is they come from. Tells you all you need to know about what Katsidis has left.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
Yes agreed he needs more head movement but he cannot change this late in his career. He is an entertaining fighter and deserves to win a title and make loads of money before he retires.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
Katsidis is a joke, he will end up hurt.
Ive never forgiven him for shouting -
" what you lookin at " at the face off of a fight.
He then got his ass kicked , he is a fucking idiot. But people pay to watch a puncher who gets twatted each time he fights it would seem.

Haaahahah, I will never forget that either. In fairness it was just Katsidis way of bigging himself up, but given the way Guerrero just stared at him and then beat him up every round it was priceless.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
I am not quite getting the Katsidis hate here? Is it because he beat the crap out of Earl and Mitchell? Burns was too slick for him and in every fight Katsidis has lost he has shown a lot of heart. He doesn't have the skill to match the A level fighters, (although he was just seconds away from ending the Marquez career) He does have entertainment value and has performed extremely well with limited ability. If he loses this next fight he should give it away.

Dude his bro had died only a few months before that fight, he was pretty emotional. He didnt take time off to really get it out of his system, he fought JMM like a month after his bro died and then continued training and fought 6 months after that. So maybe you should cut him a break for that.

Not to be an asshole or anything, but what does that have to do with Al's reasonings of not liking Katsidis?

Well it was out of character for Katsidis and he was in a different frame of mind. People have trouble performing at work after a close relative dies....imagine being in front of thousands of people and having to face a guy who wants to beat the shit out of u while dealing with the death of your brother. Just a bit harsh to judge someones actions when they are at such a low point in their life.

Boxing one would like to think is about entertainment , Katsidis took the pay cheque , acted like an asshole and got his ass kicked , if he didnt want the fight he should have pulled out , Katsidis has had way to many chances for a limited fighter.
James Douglas had lost his father prior to fighting Mike Tyson , did he act like a thug ? no he actually used the fight as a tribute to his father and fought out of his skin and won.
Katsidis is nothing more than a thug with no class.

Me either. He went head to head against Casamayor and Marquez and knocked each for a loop before being stopped himself.
Also he had just lost his Brother going into the Guerrero fight so obviously was amped up and in a rare mental state for that one. He also showed tremendous heart and even dropped Guerrero in that fight.
The guy is an absolute warrior and obviously has more character than guys on the internet who talk shit about him on message boards.

Re: Katsidis to get WBA title shot after a loss
I love Katsidis to bits...but after going 1-4 in his last 5 (and 0-2 in his last 2, and 5-6 in his last 11) there is NO WAY he should be walking into any sort of a title fight. Golden Boy Promotions have just signed Perez into a "long term deal" so there is no way they think Katsidis could win, he's about to be used by GBP.

What if my brother just died as well, and I were just typing shit about random boxers in order to cheer myself up? I have way more character than Katsidis you insensitive jerk!!!;D

Well we will have to agree to disagree.
By the way Douglas lost his mother before the tyson fight ;)
