Lookout for the trouble maker in the bobby moore lower getting ejected from the arena 3rounds in for fighting an aussie;D;D;D
Yeah, Khan-Powderpuff definitely isn't on Sky then. If it ends up free on another channel that will be a right result
Got a load of Iron mates who'll be at this one!
Potential for fight of the year as far as i'm concerned.
Kats is always value for money and Mitchell ain't far off.
Can't remember a dull fight Katsidis has been in either ;)
Expect a blood splattered all over the place after a few rounds and a proper tear-up.
Also think Mitchell can beat him and maybe stop him......
Would love to see these 2 go toe to toe for a bit as well.
Very exciting matchup and Katsidis has been in some real wars over the last few years so it'll be interesting to see if he's still up for getting in the trenches which Mitchell will definately be with a full Upton park screaming him to bash up the Kat.
Kevin Mitchell would be better off, not going into the trenches. With the harder hitting Michael Katsidis, i'd rather see him use his better boxing skills, and use his upper body movement like he did against Breidis Prescott.Quote:

It`ll be a 25,000 sellout - it`ll be late on a saturday night - that alone spells a very hostile crowd in attendance.
mitchell will stop him late on, and yes it will be a fight of the year contender
;D
Load of em who are Season ticket holders will be their in force.
Can't help thinking with the crowd baying for blood that Mitchell will stand and trade..
Agree he would be better off using his brain but f8ck it i wanna see a Earl/Katsidis type of war unfold at some stage:cool:
No question mate i'd love to see both of them stand toe to toe, for 36 minutes. But i just think Kevin Mitchell has improved as a boxer, and his boxing skills will really shine here.Quote:

But as you see against another dangerous puncher in Breidis Prescott, he realized he couldn't stand toe to toe. So he used angles, moved well. And engaged when he wanted to.
I don't think Michael Katisidis will allow Kevin Mitchell to box like that, because Michael Katisidis is a better pressure fighter. So he will force Kevin Mitchell to fight in spots, but overall Kevin Mitchell's quicker handspeed and boxing skills will be the difference.
Shame im not still in London otherwise, i'd really be up for seeing this.

agree with that
mitchells gotta box with his head and not his heart. Dont allow the contest at any point to turn into a fight and neutralise your opponents short comings on the front foot just like he did with prescott.
I just dont see it happening though, at some point they are both gonna start throwing bombs and neither will relent. Mitchell-johannsen could of been an easy nights work for kev but instead he chose to try and blow his man out of there and got caught a fair few times.
Either way i just see mitchell being too smart for kats, going with the late stoppage
Thank god it is not PPV, now want Khan on ITV and it will be a great night of boxing!!!!
