I think Mitchell clearly won and did so by a fairly wide margin - but he did run A LOT. You have a hard time winning championships like that. Many judges won't give rounds to a challenger who fights like Mitchell did tonight. I think it was a smart way to fight though. He clearly had a game plan and stuck to it - but Prescott is not a champion. I just think he will need to be a bit less mobile to win a belt.

I dont get this whole notion of him running. He was in Prescotts punching range the whole fight,an what he did was move out of the way when ever prescott telegraphed his punches which he did all night. Whats he supposed to do? Stand still and get hit? Prescott is a heavy hitter,but crude.
I think Mitchell could have maybe been a little more aggresive,but to say he ran is a bit silly.

At the half way stage Prescott had landed 9% of his punches and that was his hgood half of the fight, Mitchell boxed his ears off.
As for the running bull****, he didn't run, he was in range and made Prescott miss while throwing effective counters for the first 2 mins of most round and in roughly half he stepped up the pace in the final minute and landed clean and effective offencive work against a much bigger man.
I scored it 118-111 and I thought I was being generous to Prescott at times.

****e, was that willie pep in there or was it just a very polished, composed kevin mitchell??!! before everyone starts asking if i'm on medication, that was a bit of wit so relax
mitchell looked fantastic though and FOR THE MOST PART gave a fantastic exhibition of hitting without getting hit, whilst still being within range of his foe - his off the ropes work was fantastic........anybody else thinking how mouthwatering a clash with john murray would be?
