How did Mitchell look? -
Those were my thoughts immediately after the fight. What I will say is that he is still young and learning, but unless he sorts his defense out and learns how to protect his chin I can see a loss for him in the near future.Mitchell needs to sort out his defense otherwise he'll never reach his potential. Tonight it looked like it was the first time he'd ever faced a southpaw; I lost count of the times he got hit flush by the straight left. He showed minimal head movement and just kept eating punches.
But he came through in the end and showed good heart in not taking a backward step. He broke Estrada down well in the end. It was strange punch to end the fight, but Estrada didn't want anymore so I felt the stoppage was fair. He needs to get back in the gym ASAP and tighten up that defense until he takes on a higher ranked opponent otherwise he'll get KO'd.Comment

Mitchell gets hit far to often. Carl johannsesson and estrada were catching him with big ****s. It's a good job he has a iron chin but getting hit that much can't be good for your brain. No doubt about it though he is exciting to watch. How far will he go? Erm....not sure. Think he's just about ready for alex arthur. Who will probs be confident after seeing mitchells last couple of fights.Comment

he looked **** as always. i dont understand the hype around him. commentators are always sayin he needs to use his head more n not his heart bla bla. imo he doesnt have any boxing knowledge or skills to use. hes only good at domestic level which isnt sayin much.Comment
