Did Kevin Mitchell Think He Was Better Than He Actually Was?

[Earl-Hickey]

Mitchell is still a solid fighter IMO. He has to know how to handle pressure fighters. He was moving effectively but you can tell he couldn't do it for 12 rounds. Plus Katsidis keeps coming no matter what. You have to pack a punch or have the intelligence to keep him from wanting to jump in, attack mode. Mitchell has a chin that could probably withstand Khan punches; his confidence in beating Khan is not far fetched, I'd give him a decent chance.

Khan would be cracking him over and over again though, and Khan does hit hard now, plus Khan is even bigger than Katsidis

[Southpaw Great]

Yeah, I think Khan would of been to much Mitchell.

It could have been a case of that after he beat Prescott yes. But the kid will be back.

[Allucard]

why are people talking about khan as if hes a elite fighter of any sort lmfao his best win is kotelnik haha and mitchells was prescott who well we know what the story is .....

Barrera son. Barrera alone beats anyone on Mitchel's record so you should sftu. It's funny the only good British fighters are who the Brits hate. Maybe that's why the ones they like aren't any good.

[FloydTBE]

Mitchell got owned tonight, he wasnt ready for world title imo

[Earl-Hickey]

Kotelnik is actually a good fighter, he beat junior Witter (got robbed) beat Maidana, beat some good fighters like Kimura and rees, never been down before, olympic silver medal.

good solid pro, not the most glamerous but not some bum either

[swizz]

katsidis is the new gatti

[patpatpts]

Yeah Mitchell is still decent, but shocked how easy he got beat tonight.

damn shane nose look a lot different now

[MOTHER DUCKER]

I thought the talk of Khan at 140 was just plain idiocy or hype, Mitchell was dwarfed by Presscott (admitedly a big LW) i just don't think he has the size to match up vs the top LW.

He is young (25) and really you see the difference between him and say a top class guy like Floyd, when Floyd got buzzed early in the round he held and shortened the distance. Mitchell didn't really hold, take an knee and did the worse possible thing went to the ropes and exchanged back. Like i said he is young though and not very experienced compared to Kats.. Btw props to Kats hope you get Marquez next..

[amonb]

He didnt seem focused in the build up to the fight

And you need to be against someone like Katsidis

Plus he's an overrated Mug. I think that had something to do with it too!!!!
