Anthony Small v George Katsimpas

Post by Old bones Ian »

Could be a good one this, its on the undercard of McIntyre v Brooks.
Katsimpas should be made for Small, he comes straight forward and isn't very technical, but Katsimpas has 3 things going for him, he can punch, has a good chin and should be bigger than Small.
Small has the advantage in speed and awkwardness, he also has better punch variety.

Anyone apart from me think Katsimpas has a chance?

I think those are the 3 things that beats Small.

I hope I am wrong!

Think Katsimpas is too 'green' for this and Small will school him in there. Still, give him full credit for being prepared to take the fight.

Saw George Katsimpas make his debut in Southampton and he looked very good, he comes from a martial arts background and he's been matched tough. A TKO over Renda looks impressive now.

Be a tough night for Small and it all depends on if Small tires as I think George could do him.

Also George wears a mask into the ring so it will be a competition to which one between him and Small looks more ridiculous

I've seen Katsimpas a couple of times and was impressed, he does come in a bit square on, but you can see he has alot of strength and power there.
He's not faced anyone with the power of Small yet though, so we will get to see how his chin holds up.

George also likes to make a show when getting to the ring, and sells quite a few tickets. Should be a good atmosphere

Do you think Small hits harder than Renda? I would have had them on equal terms??

You going to go to this?

Small and Renda probably do hit with equal power, but its the fact that Small lands shots from awkward angles that may surprise Katsimpas, when he fought Renda the guy was right in front of him throwing what i would call conventional shots.
Small likes to try and land the punches you can't see coming

I haven't seen George in years; he was still kick-boxing and about 15 or so back then! I hope he's improved his boxing skills, because he fought like a tough version of Amir Khan in his youth. He used to be very flat-footed and square moving forward, coiling up for power punches all the time. If he's learnt to tuck his chin in and use shorter punches, he should be pretty damn good these days.

Anthony Small though? He may not be the best guy around, but that's a huge jump in class. Kat was always exceptionally fit and hard-headed, that's bound to help. Depends which version of Small turns up.

Have seen George kickbox alot including a ten round war with one of my own guys,
He`se very fit and comes forward the whole time ,Hese a real entertainer but theres a couple of built in weakneses that i think Small will exploit.
