It appears that 2012 could prove to be a far more favorable campaign than have been the past two years for Kevin Mitchell.

Hope Burns takes man , war Burns .I think he'll have too much for Mitchell .Mitchell Murray was good but for me Katsidis is just a bigger better version of Murray .

I like both fighters but have to go with Mitchell due to him being a West Ham fan. But I'd have Burns a slight favourite going into this one. I can't recall ever seeing Mitchell up against a 'boxer' so that will be interesting whether he tries to box with Burns or fight him.

Really can't see past Mitchell myself, I think he's a great fighter.

I've been very happy to see Ricky have his success, Scotland don't get many world champs so it's nice to see. However, I think Mitchell is better in most departments and has the ability, speed and power to end this fight in the mid-to-late rounds.

Could be a great fight! Both are technically good and have speed and power. Id like to say that Mitchell takes it but think that we cant really judge him on the Murray fight as Murray just walks into punches, whereas Burns is very good defensively. He proved against Katsidis that he can use his skills to win big fights. Mitchell deserves a crack as i see him as a much better opponent for burns than crolla!

Very good fight I think Mitchell would win

Decent! I think Mitchell takes it but I know I won't be completely counting Burns out again.
