Comments Thread For: Kevin Mitchell Faces Ismael Barroso on Joshua-Whyte

[Dirk Diggler UK]

This is for the WBA Interim that Derry vacated. Warren said he is being moved toward a major World tile fight (Flanagan duh). Eddie on the other end said winners of Crolla-Perez and this fight each other.

No, Flanagan is defending the WBO belt against Derry Mathews early next year. If Mitchell wins the WBA interim title, the winner of the Perez vs Crolla rematch must defend the WBA world title against Mitchell within 90 days of Mitchell's bout

Yeah my bad. For some reason I thought Flanagan was WBA Champion.

OK, so I was hard on Mitchell with my last comment, most was just sarcasm, the worst type of humor. I just can't see why after losing to Linares, not too badly (there, happy now?) they want him to put the bell on the cat. Barroso's name has been bandied around, but so has his scary power. He's been scheduled to fight for a title in the UK for a year now, looks like they are having a hard time finding a suitable match.
