    Why was Mitchell trying to do the shoulder roll?

    Look where that got him, he should have just put his hands up.


    Also, watch Khan come out and say something, unless I already missed it.

    Well spotted Dom.

    I was screaming at the TV, he had his gloves under his chin and he tried to roll and slip punches. Which was never going to work.

    I knew he was fucked as soon as he tried that **** in the first round.

      He just was no-where near ready for that fight truth be told, but that's what happens when Warren gets desperate, he throws a shielded fighter in at the deep end, hopes they will float and nabs a payday. Mitchell had no answers for when he got hit

        Khan hasn't won yet, he will only talk **** if he gets passed Paulie's feather fists. Katsidis was the harder test though, so in my opinion Mitchell took a much higher risk fight. He took on a fighter who does have pop and relentless pressure. While the fighter Khan is fighting tonight is just a feather-fisted boxer.

          Mitchell can beat Katsidis, he's more then capable. Some people just aren't meant to use that defense. Hopefully he comes back.

          I wouldn't call myself a fan of Mitchell but I have to say I was impressed with his boxing ability, just not his defense.

                    I think Mayweather Moseley may have been in his head. Dumb move. Katsidis is very impressive and not to be underestimated. I have always liked him. Mitchell gets credit JUST for taking the fight.
