Kevin Mitchell - Is he the next British Super Hype job???

"Strong as ya like, strong as ya like!" Yeah, he can make some waves. Good chin, good skills, likes to bang (usually), and has a good attitude. The UK should get behind him, deffo.

You like the avatar then LOL? Portsmouth have made 8 changes. They're so shit.

Chelsea are going to 10 inch Portsmouth. No lube. Up the arse. You like the avatar then LOL? Portsmouth have made 8 changes.

Fuck them two! Chelsea are going to 10 inch Portsmouth. No lube. Up the arse.

I think it must more impressive ringside seeing the size differential. But Prescott is unremarkable. He had a golden 54 seconds. Mitchell just made him look like what he was. I thought Mitchell should have had a crack at trying to take him out, lol. Would have been hilarious - but stupid obviously. There was a noticeable size difference, thats true. Miguel Vasquez beat Prescott before that Mitchell fight, and i watched that fight and saw Prescott for what he really was. I expected Mitchell to beat him comfortably tbh. There were still times where Mitchell stepped inside and got nailed himself, but because he was being aggressive in spurts and the because the crowd was going wild everytime he threw a punch, they seemed to overlook this. I think i had Mitchell by 2/3 round if i remember right. Prescott actually did better when he stopped looking for the one shot and tried to Box Mitchell.

Did here the way Darky & Watt were creaming over Mitchell's performance? I mean it was a decent performance but to hear them we had just seen Barkley vs Toney. Fuck them two!

But Prescott is unremarkable - a lot of the time Mitchell was just as much as spectator as us as Prescott was swinging for the cheap seat. He had a golden 54 seconds.

It's come to the point when any Brit fighter becomes known to Americans, he's hyped. No, the fact is. If he has become known to you all the way over there in the land of twinky - he's probably quite good. Did here the way Darky & Watt were creaming over Mitchell's performance?

Mitchell won't set the world alright but he'll be hard to beat. He's tough as nails. He'd beat Roman Martinez IMO. He's no Nicky Cook. I feel bad for Nicky Cook. I think he's pretty good too. He's just chinny.

he's not a hype job he's the best boxer on the planet, or any planet for that matter

... it's also kinda funny how all UK boxers are "hype jobs" on here, even when people say **** all about them. The second Mitchell loses a fight you'll get 10,000 threads titled "All freakin' BRIT'S sed dat Mitchel wud beet a prime tyson, lamo, pwn!"

I get amazed by the expectations NSB puts on boxers - it's real all or nothing, ain't it? I like Mitchell a lot, I think he has a lot of skill. But if he got beat in a world title fight - Hell, even if he got beat in a European title fight - people would say he was "exposed". Not everyone can be a world beater... that doesn't make you a bum. Even if Kevin Mitchell only won British & Commonwealth titles and no more I'd still say he's a good boxer. Not everyone is cut out to be SRR. Especially as you can see Kevin Mitchell is good value. He's one you're fairly certain can mix in world class and like Dynamite says: not get blown away. Whether he wins all of them is unlikely - he'd win some/lose some in world class. Kevin Mitchell is very good. That should be all there is too say about him.

He's a potential gold mine. Mitchell vs Martinez, Mitchell vs Martinez. Both epics. Thing is, Warren can match him aggressively because he has all his eggs in the Khan basket. I like Mitchell a lot. I just think he will be involved in some absolute classics if matched correctly. Agree. Martinez is a tough guy who puts on the pressure and comes to fight. Mitchell has good speed and decent Boxing skills but i think his bread and butter is being aggressive, plus i think he is the tyep to respond immediately once tagged, so i anticipate an absolute classic between them. Mitchell can take a punch so there is no danger of him getting blown away early or anything.

Mitchell has good hand speed (the left hook being the main weapon) has good stamina and a very good chin, plus is aggresive.

He has, Katsidis can be outboxed by Juan Diaz FFS. :dunno: Mitchell is deceptively very quick with his hands and feet imo. I agree, its how you called it before, the British version of Arturo Gatti.

Mitchell vs Katsidis? Would do you think? I think he's got more tools in his kit bag than Katsidis to draw on personally. But Katsidis has mixed in proper world class. I think it's a good fight. Kevin Mitchell could have a similar career to Katsidis. He will be a good television fighter. His fight with Johansson was an epic, even him going life and death with a faded Walter Estrada was fascinating.

Let just say this, Martinez has a very open defence and he was being hurt to the body against Cook, Mitchell has an excellent hook to the belly as he showed against Prescott, plus he is quicker than Martinez. I dont rate Mitchell highly but id like him against the hittable slower Martinez. Mitchell vs Katsidis? Would do you think?

remember this is a boxer who almost had to quit pro boxing after snapping a tendon in his hand, so much so that he can't make a fist in one of his hands. Worked on the London Underground whilst he went through rehab.
