Graham Earl making a comeback?

[erics44]

The katsidis fight was fantastic, i thought it was stopped too early, he seemed to have weathered the storm and was starting to get on top

it was stopped after the 5th (i think) and earl won the round, never have i9 seen a fighter pulled out of a fight after a round he had just won

Have to disagree, Earl would have lost, Katsidis has shown he has far more resilience than earl ever did.

earl was a cracking determind fighter in his prime, i think he was very "resilient", when they fought katsidis was right at the top of his game, probly his peak and earl wasnt

if they had let it go on maybe earl would still have lost but he seemed to have weathered the storm and deserved a chance

especially as he had won the 5th

You serious??

I dont think it's any coincidence since the Katsidis fight Earl has been shot to pieces, Earl had his moments in the fight but Katsidis was hurting him with every punch he threw watching that fight i winced every time Katsidis landed, it was 100% correct thing to do and stop Earl from taking any more damage. If you seriously think Earl had a chance to win that fight you need your head testing. I would of been worried for Earl's well being if the fight had gone on any longer.

watch round 5 again, he won the round

have you ever seen a boxer pulled out of a fight when he had won a round so clearly?

The corner had already thrown the towel in earlier in the fight, after the 4th round he was staggering to the wrong corner, he was getting bashed up I agree he won that round but he wasnt bothering Katsidis at all, Katsidis was hurting him with Jabs, the corner no there man and he was getting hurt everytime Katsidis connected and like I said previously since that fight Earl has been shot to pieces his trainer even left him after the Katsidis fight because he was worried about his health after the fight and wouldnt train him any longer.

his trainer had said before that fight that that was his last fight with him because he felt his punch resistance had gone

all i am saying is i think he deserved another round at least, he had clearly won the round and katsidis was bothered and looked like he had punched himself out

ui am sure the fight is on youtube somewhere, watch the round

I take back what I said before.

Your right. Earl was picking off all those shots with his head really, really well.

Yep, everytime Katsidis hit Earl it seemed like Katsidis had bricks for hands. I was seriously concerned for Earl's wellbeing. Had to be stopped.

Iv'e seen the fight maybe 40 times I dont need to see it again, your nearly as deluded as Earl himself, he was bothering Katsidis?? No he hurt Katsidis earlier in the fight, in the fifth he didnt bother him at all. You havent really seen much of Katsidis if you thought he had punched himself out. Like I said Earl had the best and was landing the better shots in the fifth but Kats was walking threw them, Kats was landing jabs and snapping Earl's head back. If that fight went on I would of been scared for Earl's health brilliant call by his corner.

Also where the hell have you got his trainer said he wasnt training him before the Katsidis fight, do you make this shit up as you go along??

His ex trainer Johnny Eames wanted to see where Earl was after the Kat's fight and requested Earl came and trained for six weeks then he could assess where he was, but Earl only came for three before agreeing to fight. so Eames told Earl he couldnt agree to be in his corner as he hadnt seen him spar enough to make the call weather he had his blessing.

So where the hell you got he decided to not train him before the Katsidis fight beats me but what I just stated is why he left him happened .

i have seen him fight a few times but never seen him fight like he fought against earl before or since

he threw a lot more punches than he normally does and in the fifth he looked tired and didnt throw anything like the amount he had in previous rounds

[JonnyFolds]

One man can only take, but so many flush shots to the head. This fight was surely headed for stoppage. We have seen Kats figth on through his opponent winning rounds, but the viewers know who is taking damage.

That was a really good fight, I really do give him credit... but what happened since??
