posted By Jim Dower: In what could be terrible news for the April 9th fight card headlined by Marcos Maidana vs. Erik Morales, lightweight contender Michael Katsidis (27-3, 22 KO’s) suffered a bad cut over his eyebrow while sparring in Thailand to get ready for his scheduled 10 round bout against Robert Guerrero (28-1-1, 18 KO’s). The cut was reportedly bad enough that it required 5 stitches to repair.
This may not sound like a lot but given that there is less than a month before the Guerrero fight, it’s pretty much impossible for the cut to heal properly before April 9th. Katsidis has problems with cuts in many of his fights but this would make it much worse for him, because the cut will likely quickly open up once Guerrero starts connecting, leaving Katsidis partially blind with blood dripping in one of his eyes.
