badlefthook.com says it's 'fallen by the wayside, at least for that date'.

Your guess is as good as mine.

I hope it gets on ITV rather than Sky.

Mitchell will beat Kats in a tough fight.

Katsidis should of got rid of Brendan Smith a long time ago imo. I see Kats being a shot fighter thinking back to himself "man i wish i would of gotten a new trainer sooner" when the penny drops that Smith was never good enough.

Mitchell has looked great since coming up to Lightweight and getting rid of his trainer. He is a brilliant patient fighter now which surprised me. I'd pick him to beat Katsidis.

He's so much better than I thought. When he first turned pro we were told he was the Wayne Rooney of boxing. He looked decent: a gung-ho front-foot brawler type who could potentially get to world-level maybe claiming an alphabet belt.

But now you can see his ability in spades. His judgement of distance, his timing, his head movement, his counterpunching. Kevin Mitchell is world-class already, imo. I honestly think he should be too good for Katsidis even if Michael has mixed in better class.

No more commonwealth or European-level opponents for Mitchell from now on. He's too good for them.

I'll be dissapointed if it's in Aus as i wanted to see it, however I am sure it will be a good fight and the ausies will put on a good show.

I used to watch Mitchell train at the Pea**** gym a few years back. he looked to be destined to be a national and European level fighter then. He got hit too much to go further although he is very tough and has a good chin. Since he has been trained by Jimmy and Mark Tibbs he has developed into a boxer box/fighter and has improved a lot in a very short time. I can see him fighting at world level now. Katsidis is very good but has had a lot of tough fights that have taken their toll . Mitchell can beat him but it will be a tough fight.
