Katsidis to fight Angel Hugo Ramirez in the Phillipines.

[Hounddawg]

Rocky Katsidis is to fight Angel Hugo Ramirez in the Philippines in late January.

Ramirez is from Argentina and has a record of 19-4-2 and is registered as a super feather.

Katsidis needed a win, but i think this will be too easy for Rocky, however I'm glad he's back.

Why the Philippines?

[Sapphire]

He wants to fight Pac Man.

[Marlin]

That does seem like a strange move

I think this is a good match up for Katsidis.
After the wars he has had with Amonsot, Casamayor and Diaz, he is due for an easy fight.

I am just glad he is not fighting an Argie

Main Event will be showing this live so at least we will get to see it.

Sorry my mistake. I thought he was a Spaniard.
He is an Argie based in Spain.

so I believe, heard it from Michael himself !

[Marlin]

Not sure this should be PPV. It will need an awesome undercard.

[toppity]

I like the fight but i wouldn't buy it as a ppv. it's a stay busy fight. As in Mundine v Argentina

[Hounddawg]

Watched this last night, Katsidis won by scores of 96-89 twice and 98-87.
I thought the 98-87 was the correct one, as Katsidis dropped The Arg in the 2nd and 3 times in the 4th after this the arg went into survival mode and ran for 5 rounds but every now and then landing with overhand rights flush on rockys head.

Not a fantastic performance, and not really sure if he's learnt anything from his 2 loss'.
I also don't think his cornerman is helping him get to where he's suppose to, and kind of lacks any real boxing advice between rounds.

[Hounddawg]

I hear Katsidis is to fight Julio Diaz in April, will be a tough fight for Katsidis.
Any thoughts?

[Brute]

Katsidis went the distance with Juan Diaz.

Juan Diaz stopped Julio Diaz in 9.

I think Katsidis can win it.

[perfect jet]

I've been very reliably informed that Katsidis will return home for a big fight around April/May. He wont be fighting Julio Diaz.

The fight will be in either Brisbane or Melbourne and will be underwritten by Sportsbet and another big company. It will be against a top rated guy and definately not a tune up.

Also, Hattons camp enquired about fighting Katsidis when the Pac negotiations stalled.

Mick hurt his hand in rd 2 last night which plagued him somewhat throughout the fight.

[buster007]

might explain some of the inaction periods later in the fight as the other guy kept his distance a fair bit.
