Kevin Mitchell vs Brandon Rios looking more likely for Nov.

[Evil Abed]

On what basis?

His fight with Murray?

Its only matter of time until Rios can't make the weight.

He's huge.

His chin could be affected.

When Kevin Mitchell is on his game like in the Prescott fight, he's tough to beat.

Rios could underestimate Kev like the majority of the posters on this site.

He's a live dog.

Prescott ain't that great though, Mitchell was always going to outclass him. But Rios is a different ask and Mitchell does not have the tools to deal with Bam Bam. Mitchell will get caught as he tries to get away, he drops his hands when he goes into defense mode for fuck sake.

Kevin Mitchell has balls of steel, I'll be rooting for him tho I think Rios destroys him easily.

Prescott can certinaly punch but he isn't an all out consistent pressure fighter like the likes of Katsidis, Murray or Rios.

Can you imagine if it was Rios against Mitchell in the early rounds where Mitchell was quite literally forced to stand his ground? It wouldn't have gone long..

Mitchell's a good fighter but he doesn't have what it takes to keep a high otput pressure fighter off him consistently, he has to stand his ground at times.

And when that happens against Rios, it's curtains.
