Sharmba Mitchell is on something...

I want him to fight Gatti. This guy deserves it. Sharmba fought through USA prelims without a freakin' sponsor. He deserves a big money fight and quite honestly I wouldn't mind seeing it.

Nah man... its the way hes been speaking for years especially all that trash talk to Kostya while he was getting over his surgeries and injuries. Mitchell just needs to realize he isnt at the "A" level. I think your reading WAY too much into this interview blooshed. :rolleyes:

I don't think it was prematurely stopped. He was hurt badly by the bodyshot. ....on top of being hopelessly outclassed.

It wasn't prematurely stopped. When a blatant mismatch like this happens.....& the inevitable kicks in, the ref pulls the trigger. Mitchell was already beaten the day he signed to fight Mayweather.

mitchell vs gatti would be a good fight dont they have the same trainer.

Mitchell has an interview on Boxing Talk Some notable things he said: * was shocked Richard Steele stopped the fight with Mayweather* was "fighting a tactical fight" * he said he wasn't surprised Mayweather went for the KO early cause "he was either going to box me or try to KO me" * claims he was right in the mix "boxing" with Mayweather * compared that fight to Taylor-Chavez (WTF) * wants to fight Gatti (Gatti would KO his ass too) * felt just as fast as Mayweather The only one i agree with Mitchell is the one in bold.

I agree with him that the stoppage was unwarranted as he was never really hurt by Mayweather, but he was taking a shellacking and could only hope to win by KO. I like Sharmba, but I didn't see that as likely.

mitchell vs gatti would be a good fight

well, he sure did not look like he was keeping up to Mayweather and I think regardless of if Steele stopped it abit early or not he really was not doing very good and did not see that the fight was goona go his way anytime soon, so I did not see much wrong with stoppage. Guy just gonna gettig whats left of his brain rattled more as fight went on so... why complain??

He compared the fight to Taylor/Chavez is he f-ing crazy......

i watched the fight about seven times.. mayweather was winning by alot of points but not by much physically.. he never really hurt mitchell and mitchell lo0ked fine after the bodyshot and was ready to continue

well, while it became basically a given that he had no chance to win the fight, i remember the stoppage was pretty strange, wasn't he knocked down, then back up before the ref finished his count? i don't remember, might dig that fight up again and watch it tonight.

He's never been the same after Kostya Tszyu brain damaged him. The first time.
