First time I've seen that, sad watching it, in his prime Katsidis would have walked through a shot like that, the whole fight would have been a mismatch. Paul Butler being able to hold his own in sparring with Katsidis before the fight was a big indicator he hasn't got it anymore, Butler's a quality fighter, but he's a super flyweight and Katsidis was a big, strong lightweight, even in sparring Katsidis should have been all over him with the weight difference.
