Tszyu Vs Mitchell II

[Yarmez]

If trinidad is any indication, that's not the case with all fighters, but if tyson is any indication, you could be right.

But i still go with tszyu.

right, but trinidad fought a fighter made for him, someone who will just stand there and take it in the face. no way Tito would land 60% of his shots against a fighter that actually moves. tito was exposed by Oscar and Bernard. I still love tito though, dont think im bashin him

Does anyone here not realise that MItchell has over 50 pro fights, and he's only had 6 since loosing to KT.

Now everyone's going on about activity and Tszyu being injured - and I'm not saying it will be easy - But Tszyu has already fought Mitchell - He knows what to expect - He knows how hard he hits and has seen enough of him latley to know that

A) Kostya hits a hell of a lot harder and more accurately than Lovemore N'Dou

B) Yes, KT is getting on a bit, but for as much as KT could get old in the ring - Mitchell is NO spring chicken.

C) KY has a huge psycological advantage - Everytime I see Tszyu Vs Mitchell I, I think - Mitchells corner must have used a crow bar to get Sharmba out of his dressing room - He looks like he's about to throw up with fear.

I'm taking Tszyu as I'm a fan and I think he's just plain better than Mitchell -which is no disrespect to Sharmba, he's a top class pro, but Tszyu will win.

The big question is inactivity. KT has been out for 2 years and Mitchell has been very active compared to most active fighters.

Pros for Mitchell: No stranger to the ring, I think he has had 6 fights in the last 2 years(guessing can't be bothered to look it up). Slick punch and clinch style, perfect to neutralize a hard puncher.

Cons for Mitchell: No power. Went five years without a stoppage, there isn't anything there to keep KT at bay. Has been stopped twice, not sure if this will factor since it was early in his career; but it should be noted. He has been active, but against less than steller opposition...sometimes guys get used to fighting at the same level, this could affect his performance.

Pros for KT: Power! That right hand is rested and should be ready to go, power is the last thing to go. Skill-wise KT has it; very patient and can adjust during a fight. While he has been inactive, he hasen't let himself go; he always looks like he is close to his fight weight, never out of shape. He may have some ring rust, but he dosen't have any ring damage.

Cons for KT: Ring rust is the main factor, he will have some...its all a matter of how he compensates. Slow starter, will he let too many rounds go? Mentality, does he still have the desire to fight?...I think he does.



There it is. I think KT will take it on points, but I say that with about a 75% surety.

mitchell has over 50 fights, but has beaten one top jr welterweight or even a decent one for that matter.....

I think Tszyu is just going to give away too many early rounds. He will come on late but it would be too late. Mitchell by close decision.

Just got my tickets......and this is my first "big fight" live. I've been a huge KT fan for years and I hope he still carries alot of the skills with him that he had before the injury. My heart says KT.....brain says Sharmba. I do feel confident about one thing....if it goes to the cards I think Mitchell wins. I think Kostya needs to knock him out, which is a very very distinct possibility.

Ha, nah man, Mitchell's black. I was making fun of another poster who said Tzyu was gonna get piad back for beating a Mexican legend. My point was that what Kostya did to an old JC Superstar has no bearing on what happens November sixth.
