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.

This will be a great fight which Mitchell will win on skill and aggression.

Been looking forward to this one Burns for me, he really has improved, always trains well and lives the life, unlike Mitchell who has the talent but lacks the application shame we cant mix em both together then we would have a brit to be proud of.

Totaly agree. They both have good and bad points. I would probably edge it to Burns just on the fact he beat Katsedis and martinez. Whatever happens it will still be a cracker.

Kev is too refined to lose to some basic fighter like Burns. It just aint happening.. Im at a loss of words to see all these people actually picking Burns...

Katsidis was in his prime and dude had the aggression with the punch to back it up.. Not only that, but Kev was green and distracted when they fought..

Anybody want to bet me $1000 via paypal, let me know... Put your money where your mouth is straight up cuz all this talk of Burns beating Kev is kinda funny.

Aye...more of the same. I prefer not to bite and let it go. Burns isn't going to be unifying world titles, but he is going to be very competitive with Mitchell, and I reckon will take a fairly narrow points win.
