    Byron Mitchell fighting again this month

    2007-11-21 in Miami

    Provided by Boxrec

    No opponent announced.

    Byron's been out of action since June 2003, glad to see he's taken the necessary time to get over the Calzaghe fight.

      I don't think the stoppage was bad. What I do think was bad is how Mitchell was robbed against Ottke.

            Mitchell was a damn good fighter.....and that Zag fight was stopped premature but he was probably going to get TKOed anyway. But 3 years? Damn....too long of a layoff.

              I never seen the mitchell/ottke fight. But in the interview at the end of the fight, Calzaghe acknowledge that Mitchell was robbed in one of his fights and that Mitchell derserved to be a champion. I came to the assumption he was talking about ottke. Since I have seen the robbery reid/ottke. I hate ottke, I don't understand why record books even list his name. Ottke's not a terrible boxer, he is actually pretty decent but he did not deserve to have the undefeated record. Reid clearly beat him.

                well said. He was a main reason why american fighters would not go to germany.

                  I really have to check out Ottke's fights, I've never seen any of them. I'll try find Reid and Mitchell's then. Thanks.

                    I don't know if the full fight between mitchell is online... But here is a snip-it of it.

                    Save target as to save this file to your harddrive.




                    It's a biased video of course... But its the only thing i could find
