At time I got this impression. He was already talking about wanting become a 3 weight world champion and saying how easy he would KO Khan etc.
I thought he got quite a shock tonight.
Thoughts?
Katsidis is the world champion of his division this guy can hang in there with anybody, i think Marquez would be the perfect fight for him right now and would be a good brawl, i am Certainly a Katsidis fan now all those boos turned to cheers by the second round.
Mitchell is a glass chinned M*tha****a!!!! First punch that landed, his legs went, then the next big punch that landed, he was gone!!!
So the punches Mitchell took the first couple of rounds were just pitty pat?
Mitchell has a chin that could probably withstand Khan punches; his confidence in beating Khan is not far fetched, I'd give him a decent chance. Mitchell is a glass chinned M*tha****a!!!! First punch that landed, his legs went, then the next big punch that landed, he was gone!!!
He didnt seem focused in the build up to the fight
And you need to be against someone like Katsidis Plus he's an overrated Mug. I think that had something to do with it too!!!!
why are people talking about khan as if hes a elite fighter of any sort lmfao his best win is kotelnik haha and mitchells was prescott who well we know what the story is .....
Barrera son. Barrera alone beats anyone on Mitchel's record so you should sftu. It's funny the only good British fighters are who the Brits hate. Maybe that's why the ones they like aren't any good.
Mitchell is still a solid fighter IMO. He has to know how to handle pressure fighters. He was moving effectively but you can tell he couldn't do it for 12 rounds. Plus Katsidis keeps coming no matter what. You have to pack a punch or have the intelligence to keep him from wanting to jump in, attack mode.

I think he thought if he could survive Prescott for 12 rounds, he'd have no problem with Katsidis.
But I don't think he'd had long enough to grow into LW to handle someone with Kat's strength.
I think it is more of the case that Mitchell did not realise just how good Katsidis is. Mitchell looked a LOT smaller. I would be very interested to see what their weights were going into the ring. When you are fighting a bigger stronger man who is a pressure fighter you have your work cut out. Mitchell was doing OK untill he got tagged but a good biggun beats a good littleun and in this fight Mitchell was the littleun.
