        Both lads look in top shape, should be a cracker.

        As my sig would suggest, I'm a big Mitchell fan and will in turn be more in his favour, but I'm anticipating a good scrap first and foremost.

              Mitchell was pumped after that.

              I think Mitchell could have become a new Hatton if he had beaten Katsidis, that 20k crowd at Upton Park was no joke.

                If he wins tomorrow and gets a world title, he can still be a real big name. He has a pleasing style and he's another down to earth guy.

                What we also know about Mitchell is that he will fight anybody so a win tomorrow would set him on his way to big things.

                Ricky is big up here, but I'm not sure about the UK as a whole. He seems to get overlooked a lot when people talk about British fighters.

                  I think with Ricky a lot of that is down to his personality. He's a quiet, humble, fella and in just about every interview he gives he's telling us how he is a quiet, humble fella.

                  If Mitchell does win he can become a big star in the UK. He's from London (which helps with the media etc), has a ready made fan base in West Ham fans and is a good talker.
