Don't see how you work that one out, Reid is former World champion and is very durable fighter, and Sergey Tatevosyan had never been stopped going into Froch fight. And he had been in there with likes of Lucian Bute and Howard Eastman.
Former World Champion yes Ice 10 years ago and not durable after that layoff and he had nothing left against Froch and even Froch stated that Reid was past his best, Reid was more shot than Earl and even you should know that. As for Sergey Tatevosyan yes he's been in with some good names but did he beat them?? NO and in 2006 he got beat by a fighter who was 3-0 and was 34 when he fought Froch implying he was nothing special and he was shot. You say he fought Howard Eastman and yes he did and that was in his prime and he still got beat by scores of 5,11 and 3 points so not exactly close.
It was a flash knockdown and Katsidis got right up and continued to batter Earl, except for that split second knockdown Earl got his a** handed to him.
You say a flash knockdown again. Every fighter that I like that knocks down another fighter you say it was a flash knockdown, how was it flash Katsidis was stunned and shaken by the knockdown.
In terms of damage Katsidis done a lot more damage, Earl was just caught cold against Khan.
Just caught cold, how can you say that he went down off a left, got back up and got his a** handed to him. Watch that vid and he must of took half a dozen flush shots in that corner and Earl never even landed one through the fight. How did Katsidis do more damage, it took him 5 full rounds to get Earl out of there when Khan took 72 seconds without Earl throwing one single shot back.
And Earl was coming off a bad beating, and was considered past his peak.
Past his peak, Earl never said that, Warren never said that, Khan never said that, Earl had just got a new trainer and was training in Florida for this bout and was convinced he would win, just because he got bashed by Katsidis does'nt mean he was past his peak and people were'nt saying that going into the fight and even you said when I showed the lists of the betting odds by round it's worth a few quid on Earl for them odds. Also beforehand as I say people mentioned Earl will exploit Khans chin etc etc but he never, Khan blasted him in 72 seconds and beat the daylight S*** out of him and that is the truth.
