Review: 2011-11-05, nice and balanced fight between Ricky Burns and Michael Katsidis (it is very close to our 4 stars). “Rickster” Burns defeated Katsidis by unanimous decision but five and six points points of difference between the two (in the final score) are too many. Ricky Burns (32-2-0) entered as the No.12 lightweight in the world while Michael “The Great” Katsidis (28-4-0) entered as the No.13. Burns vs Katsidis was valid for the interim WBO lightweight title.

Review: 2010-11-27, with two fighters as Juan Manuel Marquez and Michael Katsidis the bout could only be one of the best boxing fights 2010. Marquez (51-5-1) had won the WBA super world and WBO lightweight titles in the first fight against Juan Diaz (Ring Magazine fight of the year 2009) and this time he had to face “The Great” Katsidis (27-2-0). The Australian warrior came from the important victory against Kevin Mitchell in UK, where he was the underdog before the fight. Michael Katsidis knocks down Marquez in the third round but then “Dinamita” recovers and won in the ninth round by TKO. Watch the video!
Review: 2010-05-15, Michael Katsidis (26-2-0) had lost his interim WBO lightweight title against Joel Casamayor in 2008 (one of the best fights of the year) but regained it in 2009 (versus Vicente Escobedo); after six months his new opponent was the undefeated Kevin Mitchell (31-0-0) that wanted to win a world title in front of his fans, at the Upton Park in London. The aggressive Michael Katsidis was the underdog but he managed to defeat Kevin Mitchell in just three rounds: one of the best fights of 2010. Watch the video!
Review: 2009-04-04, the fight between Michael Katsidis and Jesus Chavez was one of the best fights of 2009. Katsidis (24-2-0) came from the victory over Angel Hugo Ramirez, but in 2008, he had also suffered his first two defeats, one against Joel Casamayor, and the second one versus Juan Diaz (two of the best fighting of 2008). Therefore, before a new bout for a world title, the Australian had to face Jesus Chavez (44-4-0), an opponent with a lot of experience and with 30 victories by knockout on 44. Katsidis defeated the Mexican Jesus Chavez by TKO, round 8. Watch the video!
Review: 2008-09-06, the fight between Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis was valid for the vacant IBO lightweight title and it was one of the best fights of 2008. Both boxers in 2008 had suffered their first defeat, Juan Diaz (33-1-0) against Nate Campbell, while Katsidis (23-1-0) lost versus Joel Casamayor (probably the best boxing fight of 2008). So for both this match was really important, the fight had a very high pace (more than 1600 punches thrown in 12 rounds) and it was very balanced; in fact Juan Diaz defeated Michael Katsidis by split decision.

Review: 2008-03-22, the fight between Joel Casamayor (35-3-1) and Michael Katsidis (23-0-0) was, for us, the fight of the year of 2008. Katsidis, after winning the interim WBO lightweight title in 2007 against Graham Earl (one of the best boxing fights of 2007), defended his belt against Casamayor, who had 37 years old (nine years older than Australian boxer). Katsidis knocked down Casamyor in the sixth round but the Cuban knocked down “The Great” both in the first and in the tenth rounds when the referee stopped the fight (first defeat for Katsidis).

Review: 2007-02-17, if the second fight between Vazquez and Marquez did not win the title of “fight of the year of 2007”, it could win the match between Michael Katsidis and Graham Earl, valid for the interim WBO lightweight title. Katsidis was undefeated (21-0-0) and for the first time fought outside Australia. Katsidis knocks down Earl (25-1-0) two times at the end of the first round but during the second period, after another knock down suffered by the English boxer, is Katsidis to be counted: this bout was a real war, five stars!

Review: 2011-04-09, Guerrero vs Katsidis was the best fight of the last week end and one of the best boxing fight of 2011. Robert Guerrero entered the fight with a record of 28-1-1 (his only career loss has been to Gamaliel Diaz in 2005, via split decision) while Michael Katsidis had a record of 27-3-0 (he comes from the defeat against Juan Manuel Marquez, four-stars fight in 2010). Guerrero vs Katsidis is valid for the interim WBA and WBO lightweight titles. Watch the video!
