Jeff Harding will be joining us tonight instead of Hoppa. The Hitman seems to be doing well.

Good to hear - and hope to be able to listen in when he's on DSS.

Bye & bye - what was Paul's feedback from RJJ's press conference & training session at Star Casino on Tuesday. Was fortunate enough to be in Sin City at the time and attended, but didn't get as close as Paul would have.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Great to hear Jeff 'Hitman' Harding in such a positive frame of mind and came across as pretty sharp too....'I'M BACK!'

...let's hope he can keep it up - and get a ticket to the fight on Wednesday night.

We're working on the latter.

I love his final comment as he trailed off into the night - I hate youse all.

I think signing up as an Ocsober ambassador is a great step in the right direction.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Also good to hear Michael Katsidis' thoughts on where he's at etc. The guy truly is a warrior.

Are you worried about cuts Michael? :

...'Nah! I've got a great cuts man in my corner!'

...'and besides, ya just get em' stitched up later. Not an issue mate'

[stevekaradeniz]

i might get slammed about this, but its just my opinion.

I think Katsidis would lose to pacquaio BUT i do not believe he would get knocked out, at WORST he might lose on cuts, but i do not think he'd would lose because 'he could not continue bcos he was groggy / unstable'.
I think Katsidis is reallly really tough and has come a huge way since casamayor fight, he fights joel again, he wins easily UD in my opinion.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Reckon he wouldn't do any worse than Oscar, Hatton or Cotto have Steve. He'd certainly win/lose fighting!

[04eta]

Did katsidis comment about any future fights? Who/when he will fight next?

[DaSweetScience]

He is begging for Marquez.

Thats a potential fight of the decade.

[Dr Gonzo]

Katsidis would get so badly raped by JMM that its not even funny, wouldnt go more than 6 rounds

I think so too.
common opponents diaz and casamayor.
kat got outboxed by diaz for the majority of the fight, and he got ko'ed by marquez . albeit after a slow start to marquez.

casamayor got ko'ed by marquez, who ko'd kat.

casamayor got ko'ed by marquez, who ko'd kat.
I think Kats has improved since both those losses and mabye marquez is starting to age....still a tuff ask though.

JMM is just so accurate and an unreal counter puncher, two things that would put Katsidis in a lot of trouble

[Kegsy]

Huge fan of Katsidis...but Marquez will bash him pretty bad...probably leading to mid/late rounds stoppage.
