So allegedly cannot tell an ancient Greek helmet from an ancient Roman helmet?

Looks like the election is not the only thing confusing the English.

7 AM on Saturday morning in Sydney, if my maths is correct.

How's a poor promoter to tell the difference between a Corinthian & a Galea?

& anyway, I always thought that Michael "The Hoplite" Katsidis had a bit of a cool ring to it, meself...

Mitchell vs Katsidis -The Weigh-in

[toppity]

i want Kat to win for more than one reason. But i have to admit that right up there, towards to top of the list, is being able to enter the british forum and state that "as usual you blokes over-rate all your fighters....etc...etc". I just hope we beat them in the cricket as well. However, if it goes the other way, I might stay away from here for a couple of days.

Am I the only one who finds this poster arousing?

No. I reckon both you and your mate Micheal Jackson would....if only the pado' was still alive to comment.

Cheeky. :P

I'm finding myself unable to call a winner for this. Katsidis is bigger, probably stronger, has a brilliant work rate and plenty of stamina to boot. Mitchell is faster, more fluid, more awkward and *I think* more skilful. Both can punch, both can take a punch, both are very tough.

Mitchell showed real quality against Prescott, and I think could take it up another level, which he'll need to, as Katsidis is a level above Prescott.

I can't wait for the fight. It's going to be really good no matter who wins. Both boxers seem like really nice people, as well.

[Brute]

What were those turds chanting?

"There's only one Kevin Mitchell?" How many do they want? Only one can get in the ring.

[Datsue]

I hope Katsidis wins tonight -- he's a brave brave boy & I've seen him fight live before versus Earl.

I love his fight-anyone attitude & the fact that he left his country to fight the top boys in his division. Plus, I know for a fact that should he win, he'll be back in with a top Mexican/Yank within six months. He's just that sort of bloke.

Good luck Michael, from someone in the UK.

PS: Toppo, can you not just PM oliverfennel rather than do that in the British forum? I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

[Poncey]

Doesn't look like any Aussie fans here. No flags. Nowt. Surprising.

Obviously he did not have a "Newnes Pictorial Knowledge" children's encyclopedia that was around in the '50s. All of that stuff was in them. They were published in England.
