IS KATSIDIS LOOKING PAST AMONSOT?
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Fri, 20 Jul 2007
The final conference for this Saturday's 'Coming to Fight' card has just been done with and everything is set for tomorrow's official weigh-in.
Katsidis, however, seems to be looking past Czar Amonsot based on recent pronouncements by his handlers.
"Katsidis The Great and Juan Diaz have agreed on one more fight each before doing battle in one of the greatest match ups put together for a long time in the lightweight division. Brendon Smith trainer and manager of Michael Katsidis the Great is proud to announce that an agreemant has been made for the two hottest lightweights to square off very soon," revealed a report from Team Katsidis.
"I am also very happy to announce that Michael will fight and defend his title July 21st Mandalay Bay Casino Las Vegas on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins vs Winky Wright. Being one of the three fights that will beam live all around the world including Australia, Michael now gets the chance to become one of the biggest draw cards out there," trainer Brendon Smith said.

Based on reports from both fighters' camps, they have been training extremely well for this Saturday's fight, although it remains to be seen how Team Katsidis truly understands the threat posed by a determined Amonsot.
