Tommy Coyle vs. Michael Katsidis: Crossroads Match Up
-
Updated: October 18, 2014
Tommy Coyle takes a massive step up in class when he faces former world level opposition in 34 year old Michael Katsidis. Katsidis is fully 4 years & 5 months away from his last internationally significant victory – managing losses against highly credible opposition in Juan Manuel Marquez; Robert Guerrero & Ricky Burns in the interim. The matchmaking bares the hallmarks of several recent Matchroom bouts with a young, game, if limited in the world sense prospect taking on a faded former world level opponent. That Coyle is installed as a 4/9 favourite is indicative of the perceived deterioration in the Australian’s ability at the high end of domestic level competition.
Katsidis’ pedigree in legacy terms is unquestioned & against a man whose singular significant career achievement remains his 2013 victory over John Simpson – who is without a win himself since – we’re led to believe that beating the Australian should be regarded as a pre-requisite for noteworthy advancement in career progression terms for Yorkshire‘s ‘Boom Boom’ Coyle.
