Katsidis is the mark at world-level if you beat him you're one of the top dogs. It sounds disrespectful to call him a gatekeeper but if you can't beat Katsidis you're not beating any of the champs. And Kevin and Murray for that matter were stranded in that chasm between European and world-class.
I think Kevin gets him this time. And doesn't hurt that Katsidis is coming off two gruelling defeats either, let's be honest.
If Katsidis wins over here again he should insist on fighting here for the rest of his career. I think Katsidis will take the fight as he will believe it winnable and he'll make some decent dough.
I admire Mitchell for taking the fights he does, he is willing to fight anybody.
Fought Prescott when he was **** hot and the underdog.
Fought Katsidis when he really could have fought someone weaker.
Fights John Murray as his come back fight when Frank wanted to give him an easier comeback fight and again was the under dog.
Now is willing to rematch the man who waxed him in 3 rounds and most likely will pummel him again.
And I would bet my last penny he is more than willing to fight Brandon Rios.
No, he fought Prescott when Miguel Vazquez had exposed Prescott as a limited brawler. Had he not lost to Vazquez he would of never of been put in there with Mitchell.

Oh, Katsidis will fight Kevin Mitchell no question.
And Mitchell will fight Katsidis.
These guys will fight pretty much anyone.
Frank Warren won't be too fond of that idea though I imagine.
i really think he can beat Katsidis this time round he wasn't right last time and that was clear to see, the Kevin Mitchell who lost to Katsidis would have lost to John Murray, the Kevin Mitchell i saw last night would stop Katsidis, I have alot of respect for Katsidis he is a true warrior but he can be easily outboxed!

Prescott was considere a limited brawler before he fought Khan.
Prescott is a limited brawler with good good power.
Kev was the underdog in the Prescott fight and expected to lose, he took it anyway because that's what he does.

I dunno, worst case scenario is that Mitchell gets waxed again.
He can go back to knocking out European-level fighters and any decent domestic fighters who might crop up, and in true Warren style he will bide his time until there is a fairly limited champion who Kevin should beat
No risk, not really.
