Man and boy fight if ever there was one.
I'm not surprised Mitchell lost but shocked he folded so tamely. He looked chinny. Clueless/shitting it when Kats got on the inside. Graham Earl gave him a better fight than that for fucks sake

Cant believe the Khan fight is still hours away. I'm off to get a double cheeseburger and large fries, Brb.
so was that a big fight in ozzland?
or are most of them still in bad ?
Yeah i'm disappointed. He didn't look strong or confident whatsoever. He needed to ride out the first 6 or so rounds, but he looked like folding as soon as Katsidis put it on him.Quote:

He looked a bit scared to me aswell. Noticed it when Katsidis was in the ring before the introductions. I thought he'd put up more resistance than that.Quote:

I honestly thought Mitchell would have a great chance against Khan :vd:
Having seen that it would have been Khan KO 1.
I said in the chat that during the after fight interview Mitchell reminded me of Steve Molitor in the Caballero fight. He didn't seem to have any faith in himself. Almost like he went into the ring expecting to lose.
Mitchell would get absolutely destroyed by Khan, no doubt. Even John Murray, who I'm a big fan of, he would lay a battering on Mitchell for sure. I would be over the moon to see a Murray Katsidis fight man. Thats what i'm gonna be hoping for for the next couple of years man. Its a "To Hell And Back" fight if you ever had to pick one.
He was deffo caught like a dear in the headlights tonite, he looked like he had lost it before the first bell, I just thought Kats would walk through him, people over rated his Prescott win me included at first, but in reality anyone outboxs Prescott who has half decent skills and discipline.
Warren's face was a picture aswell after the fight! Feel for Kev but I think he needed some better level of opponent his record for someone with 31 wins is worst than the likes of Hatton at the same stage and we no how bad his was.
I think the next fight should be Murray v Mitchell I said Murray would be to strong for Mitchell I deffo think so now at 135, Murray would walk through him and stop him around the 9th.
I just think Mitchell is a nice boxer with ok pop at a certain level not powerful enough or not good enough boxer at World Class level.
Right on. I think it would be a decent match-up. You know my like for Murray Skel. Murray snatches the life out of Mitchell inside 9.....Quote:

Katsidis looked very confident and rightly so. He was getting in Mitchell's face as he came into the ring, and Mitchell wouldn't lock eyes with him, similar to Danny Williams not locking eyes with Chisora. Mitchell boxed well on the outside but just couldn't cope when things got close up, and took some big shots, which we know Katsidis has. It looked like they hadn't made a plan for what he would do if he got rattled, because he was pawing at Katsidis instead of trying to clinch, and probably should have taken a knee to recover himself.
As Big H said, European level should be good for him.
You know it always seems like just when people are about to count Nate Campbell out he comes back with a win.Quote:
