I take my hat off to Katsidis and Bika!!!

[MMASUX]

Yes much respect to both fighters. I read over on ESPN that after the JMM-Katsidis fight, Katsidis wanted to give JMM a gift of his boxing shoes he wore during the fight. So they met up in JMM's suite, and exchanged autographed shoes, and JMM gave Katsidis his shorts from the fight, and signed items for each others camp. Cool that they could hang out after beating each other up. Two very classy guys.

From Rafeals blog:

In international soccer competition, players often trade jerseys with members of the other team after a game. Katsidis wanted to give Marquez his shoes from the fight. A call was made and a bit later Katsidis and crew were in Marquez's suite, where a postfight celebration was taking place.

Katsidis and Marquez had just gone through hell with each other in the ring, but now here they were hanging out. They traded their autographed shoes from the bout, and Marquez also presented Katsidis with the autographed trunks he wore in the fight. They talked for a bit and took pictures with each other. Their teams also took photos and signed autographs for each other.

Katsidis won "in" that fight. People will want to see him fight again. On top of it all, he didn't have any excuses and gave JMM his props. Didn't blame the ref for the stoppage.
Katsidis is the perfect undercard fighter.
Katsidis vs Diaz next!!!


Bika is and will always be a rough fight for any fight. The contenders is really making a name for themselves!(ha ha ha)
