Ricky Burns eager to get his ass whooped by Kevin Mitchell in Scotland

Ricky Burns Eager For a Kevin Mitchell Brawl in Scotland - Boxing News

Holding a paper title doesnt give anybody the right for a hometown advantage but Kev would beat him anywhere..


How do you feel about this fight?

Burns UD

I like Ricky Burns, the perrenial underdog. I'd like to see him outpoint Kev although I quite like Mitchell too.

Burns has improved a lot though and I think can frustrate and outbox Mitchell.

I actually think Burns wins here too

There both barely mediocre fighters. So I'm srue it'll end in a draw or somthing

If mitchell is dedicated he will win on points

Burns points or he wins on injury stoppage.

This is a great match-up. I think Kev will win.

I highly doubt it will be in Scotland. Burns can't fill a phone box. London is far more likely.

Burns has shown better ability and has better wins.

Burns wins all day long, Mitchell is way over rated on this forum

British fightfans should rejoice in this fight. The country's best two lightweights, a great matchup, the kind of fights that need to be made.

I reckon its a near pick em, could go either way.

Agree. It's a near pick em with maybe Mitchells problems and inactivity causing me to give Burns a slight advantage.

If it's in London Mitchell wont want to embarrass himself by not preparing right this time

burns has fought and beat the better opposition , Burns has the better workrate and jab.

Burns wins an 8-4 decision

Ricky Burns wins this. Mitchell is European level at best.

This is a really tight fight for me, and although I think Kevin Mitchell probably hits harder and is very good, the improvements from Burns since his early losses in his career have been significant, and I reckon he takes it on points.
