A note to the British.

Nobody hyped Mitchell, he didn't even get that far.

Don't use triangle theories, fighters improve over time and some do get worse from damage they obtain. But Katsidis defense kept improving over time as well as his offense.

Imbecile if you actually read my posts before i give 100 examples of triangle theories being proven wrong. I am comparing styles and how they match up with other opponents.

Katsidis is a poor man's version of Jeff Fenech, with less chin and technical skill. Katsidis is not a great fighter, if he was why not unify the Lightweight title? Katisidis has pop but any skilled fighter with defensive mechanisms to avoid punishment would outbox him. Mitchell didn't event take a knee when hurt and intread tried to brawl, although he has no chim.

Juan Diaz has loss to both guys with power and boxing skill. JMM moved up two weight classes and finished this dude. Diaz was finished by a pass prime Nate Campbell, and your "Greek Warrior" couldn't even KO Diaz. Feather fisted Malignaggi also took Diaz to school twice.

The fact that Mitchell got Ko'd in three rds means he is overrated hype and couldnt fight the best LW's out there. Humberto Soto, JMM, or even Peterson are better than Katsidis.

Kats is underrated still. Thats alright, its great when fighters prove people wrong.

this is a total exaggeration. i don't recall anyone hyping Mitchell up. i do remember him opening his mouth about paulie....... that's on him not the fans.

Looks like the good ol colonial boy kicked the **** out of the Brits again , amazing when you see the population numbers of Australia and the UK and then just about every time they meet on a sporting field the Aussies cream them , I think they must have sent the fighters to Australia and kept the pompous in the UK .

[CiganoBoxer]

Thing is the Aussies aren't that good at fighting are they ?? for such a big place how home grown mma or boxing champs have they bred ???

Mitchell talked garbage about Americans being juiced on PED's and how Brits are clean fighters. He said that to Sportin Life, the guy tried to get cheap publicity. People can't make excuse about being Green the guy has 31 professional fights. Many great fighters haven been champion with less than 25 fights. Jeff Fench, SRL, Vargas, Davey Moore all were champs early on. Also Mitchell didn't face the top LW's Soto-Marquez- or Peterson.


Frank Bruno before the fight had good analysis. He knew that could happen if Mitchell tried to brawl with Katsidis. But Katsidis is more a Swarmer than Brawler.

I agree, being a Dominican I see alot of talent in Argenis Mendez, Elio Rojas and Fernando Guerrero, and I don't go around hyping them up.
