burns kats spoilers

[THE THIRD MAN]

close fight, i had it a draw. but 115-113 burns is good imo, anything wider is questionable

come on man are you serious, i think you need to watch the fight again, burns completely dominated kat if he was a bigger puncher he would of stopped kat no problem.i had it 9 -3 for burns

Now that simply did not happen. Burns out boxed and was defensively too smart for Katsidis, but you could not help thinking throughout the fight that Kats was one punch away from changing the whole direction this fight was taking. (Katsidis punching power was lacking and although his work rate was good, that KO punch was not going to come). Burns held off Katsidis well and was the definite winner, i thought 117-111 was rubbish scoring. Katsidis problem was he had no other plan to counter Burns obvious boxing skills, Burns corner did a great job and did their homework. However he did not dominate anyone. Katsidis was busy, but just couldn't land enough times to cause Burns any real discomfort.
Katsidis should consider giving it away, his punches had nothing on them and if he is going to fight like that for the remainder of his career without a back up plan then he is going to receive a huge knockout loss sooner rather than later.
