just watched the katsidis fight, katsidis had it until the 9th round did NOT stop moving forward had awesome footwork, good angles and was a true champion even knocked marquez down in the 4th round.... unfortunately later in the rounds ref called the fight off cause maquez was flurrying katsidis and was close to being done.
good work katsidis your a true legend mate respect back to australian boxing.

yeah thats why he beat kevin mitchell while being the underdog, the ref had to stop the fight, mitchell was undefeated... you obviously dont know boxing since this guy has a heart of gold. and marquez? he was on him all the rounds even knocked him down, this is the same guy whos had 2 fights with manny and gone and the distance and mayweather too.

Katsidis was thoroughly beaten in every round apart from the one he knocked marquez down in (round 3). That said Marquez will most likely go down as one of the best light weights in the history of boxing...Kats did have him hurt with the knock down but this guys experience and endurance is phenomenal..
Kats is a great fighter but a little one dimensional for a guy of the ability of Marquez, he has massive power but gets hit way too much...a good decision by the ref to stop the fight.

That was the biggest fight an aussie has been involved in since Kostya Tzu or Jeff Fenech

Fighting a real champion for a real belt - good on him!

Vic is a great and exciting fighter, but Marquez is a huge name, thats why I said it was the biggest fight of an aussie since Fenech or Kostya.

Darchinyan hasnt really faced the same level as someone like marquez.... Donaire was probably his toughest and he got knocked out.
Although the bantamwieght tournament he is involved in is a pretty big deal and if he can win that and face Montiel then he is back in the big picture again
