Kevin Mitchell vs Walter Estrada

[msagrain]

Tonight on the undercard. Sould be a good fight!

Didn't they only pick Estrada as they opponent about 3 hours ago?

On paper it's a win for Mitchell. Wouldn't mind seeing him in with someone a bit better, but looking forward to this all the same.

Yeh i was thinking the same thing but Estrada might rise to the occasion.

they chose estrada about 2 days ago i think, steve bunce was talking about it yesterday on his boxing hour.

Hopefully he'll take on a top guy within the next year. I'd like to see him up against Alex Arthur and then (if he wins) someone like Rocky Juarez or Cassius Baloyi. Then again he is promoted by Frank Warren so I doubt that'll happen.

who is Estrada does he at least have a semi decent record?

[The Monk]

I have to be honest, I am disappointed with the choice of opponent. I was hoping for someone a bit more proven when I heard Mitchell was making his American debut. Estrada has an impressive looking resume, but on closer inspection he has beaten no one worth mentioning and lost whenever he has stepped up. That being said, when he fought Scott Harrison I felt he was winning the fight before he decided to quit.

I am hoping for an impressive performance from Kevin and I feel he should be stopping this chap quite early. After the fight, providing he wins, I would like to see him fight a highly ranked opponent. I see Rocky Juarez mentioned; I think that fight should be made. It is a very risky fight, but one Kevin can win and would really give him a solid name on his resume. Wank Warren will probably feed him a line of sub standard opposition I'm afraid.

This Mitchell doesn't always elect to show them, but he has good skills. I like the lad.

I do feel he is of the Arturo Gatti mould. He has the ability to fight on the front or backfoot although we don't see much of his counter punching skills. He has very good footwork as well, which allows him to get in and out quickly, but like Gatti he often neglects his boxing and just gets involved in a tear up.
