MPM,
The fight was classic. Katsidis made a few rookie mistakes when he left himself open to the left hook. Once he put his right hand up, he did better. But he wanted to put Casamayor away at the wrong time and got dropped for his inexperience. Great fight. Nate Campbell is gonna beat that ass though, and no way would Casamayor last versus either Pacman or anyone else.
