Yes they lost but both men never stopped trying and gaver all the guy across could handle, they accepted the decision with class and they acted like champions in the after fight presser.....They showed us just as much out of the ring after the losses as they did in the ring...

Bika gave one of the sports youngest and talented fighters a scare and helped him add a new angle to his game...Her also accepted the scores be it they were a little over the top...The fight was more like a 3 or 4 point difference not the 8 and 9 the judges made it out to be..

Katsidis showed he is a true warrior even dropping the great JMM once...Never giving up even when taking a hel;l of a shellacking...Neither man made a big scene about the final result either nor did they speak poorly about thier opp afterwards....Classy to the end.,...

Even in a loss these two men came out winners....IMO thier stock rose big last night!!! Look for them in high profile bouts soon....

On a side note not that it matters but it was a low move on the part of HBO with the questions they asked Mike in the ring about his brother...I mean it was only 40 days ago and we have to put some shit out about "Well you dedicated this fight to your brothert but yuou didn't win do you think he is proud of you right now".....Why not just rub salt in a wound!!!
