It is not inexperience man. You need to have a chin if you want to take on boxing. FIGHTING 30 BUMS WILL NOT HELP... Compare this fight to the Dirrell Abraham fight. Dirrell had 19 fights going in! Acted allot more experienced than Mitchel. The bottom line is you need to have a chin. There is no point in building up fighters who will eventually have 30-0 records in their 20's if they can't take a shot and react to a shot. You take 10 kids in the gym, you match them up softly until they are like 10-0 and then start to have then fight katsidis like opponents by the time they have 20 fights and the ones who make it are the ones who deserve the hype. Protecting a guy usually works out like that. Mitchel's only chance to glory would be old champions but he didn't even get there.Comment

Mitchell took Breidis Prescott's shots without any problem... He doesn't have a glass chin, it's not very good offcourse but it's not glass. It's a pretty average chin imo. Katsidis just happens to be a beast...It is not inexperience man. You need to have a chin if you want to take on boxing. FIGHTING 30 BUMS WILL NOT HELP...

People are WAY to quick to label fighters as glass jawed these days. Just because you get knocked out doesn't mean you have a glass chin and as I understand it Mitchell was stopped on his feet.Comment

If he stays at 135 I would like to see him fight Willie Limond or Gary Buckland.
If he goes to 130 maybe Ricky Burns. Don't really have KO power.
And, then fight the top 15-20 of the division.Comment

Finally someone with a boxing brain on, Frank warren's fighter have one of the worst competition that i have ever seen in the last 8 years or so, This guy feed his fighters bum after bum while they fight for BS titles.. Most of then are 50-0 by the time they step up, Some are successful when they do step up but most of them get KTFO.It is not inexperience man. You need to have a chin if you want to take on boxing.

I have never seen a british fighter with 17 fights under his belt fighting at a competitive level apart from David Haye when he was a cruiserweight, In fact if Haye had been with Frank Warren Haye would be 50-0 while been proclaimed to be Tyson.
They thought Katsidis was there for the takings if not they would never had made the fight, even then you could see that Mitchell can win the fight if he had box with more intelligence but because he doesnt have any really experience against good opposition in the past he was exposed by a face-first wide swinging pressure fighter tonight.Comment

I swear I seriously doubt you watch boxing. you don't even know who Kevin Mitchell is. You just read that he got KO'd and automatically assumed he has no chin.It is not inexperience man.

Glass chin? He took a lot of punches early in the fight from a pressure fighter. Plus he's young....Comment

He will just start over, hopefully gradually fighting stronger competition from now on. It's obvious that he hasn't learned much from the many fights he has had against lesser opponents. Katsidis brought pressure, presented him problems and Mitchell had no answers.Comment
