The Katsidis-Burns fight is so interesting because not only are these two very good fighters, but they represent such different styles and personalities in the ring. They have completely different games, so it will be interesting to see which of the two steps up and controls the fight. In addition, while Katsidis has met many of the top fighters in the world, but lost most of those encounters, Burns has not been tested at the top level nearly as much.
