I've always liked and admired JMM... a gentleman and a true champion. He showed a lot of grit, heart, and showed why he's an ATG. And my hat's off to Katsidis also. I knew he'd bring it, and he certainly did. No shame in losing to JMM, tho. What a frikking good fight!
On a side note, both Jason Litzau (who won me over last night with his showing vs. Caballero) and Caballero himself should stay away from JuanMa. He'll have them both for lunch.
gotta love katsidis' heart. but he is what he is, and that's a somewhat limited, poor defensive fighter. his heart reminds me of the late arturo gatti in that he also was limited as a boxer but his heart was bigger than his talent.
Huge respect to both fighters. Marquez was brilliant (52% power shots landed?!), Katsidis fought the fight of his life.
I was emotionally torn throughout - if there was ever a fight I wished there wasn't a loser that was it.

Only just watched it as I was pissed to fuck and fell asleep last night during the Bika fight. Good fight, loved every minute of it. JMM is no doubt an amazing fighter but he's not quite as great as Pac.
Props to Katsidis too, sorry to hear about his brother I never knew that.
Yeah. What a strange right hook he has, that elbow lift right as it lands is protection; but talk about disperse what could be more power.
I like the way his left elbow is used to mess with Jmm right hand in close to smother and keep the distance tight for his preferred fight range. But that right hook is weird its so not in line.
Katsidis seems to be to be a fighter that one day will win the title with a shot out of nowhere and become the story of the year because of it. It would be a shame if he went throughout his career without a title. Considering thw two lightweight champions he lost to, Casamayor and Marquez, that's got to be hard to be a lightweight coming up at those times and have to fight goes guys. He never fought the paper champ he fought the guy of the division both times and came up just short. Gotta feel for the guy.
Majesty I agree I think he will win the title some day, he fought the champ both times and came up slightly short, especially in the Casa fight where he was ahead and just got careless. I think once jmm is done the door will be open for him to take it and that will be his best shot.
i'd love to someday see brandon rios vs. michael katsidis fight it out for a vacant title. it would be an absolute war.
