GUZMAN v KATSIDIS: DON'T BLINK!
Posted: 31 Mar 2007, 14:23
by MightyWarrior
The fearless Joan Guzman steps up weight yet again, and takes on the unbeated knockout artist Aussie Mike Katsidis ( 22-0, 20 KOs ) for the latter's WBO lightweight title.
Takes place May 26th, and this will no doubt be one of the explosive fights of the year.
Definitely one I'll watch live, one way of another. Maybe Sky will realise this is the sort of fight they should be showing live.....ITV even??
Websites will hopefully pick up on this as well, for a live stream like Guzman's last fight I think.
It's HBO in the States.

It's not ITV's style, it might be an even fight.

Perhaps the WBO would be kind enough to sort out who their lightweight champion is before agreeing to this? I know Guzman-Katsidis isn't confirmed yet, so maybe they could decide whether the Aussie is their legit champion, or whether he should fight their actual champion before taking on anyone else?

Well the fight of the year is definitely on, anyone going over for Oscar/Floyd might want to hang on for another week for this one.
Couple of insane video clips of Katsidis

Great to see that Sky understand the value of this fight.
ITV have this young firebrand fall into their laps - showcased in 5 rnds of mayhem with Earl. Unfortunately, due to their 'exclusive' SN contract, they cant even entertain the idea of letting viewers follow the most exciting Aussie since The Marrickville Mauler..
Once again, an example of why a Sky dish is essential for boxing fans!
