UK Boxing - Bellew/McKenzie --- Burns/Cook --- Murray/Mitchell - Discussion Thread

Yes Mitchell! He visibly grew in confidence throughout that round. Boxing nicely at mid range. OOoh, nearly got him!

[killersheep]

I'm guessing Mitchell hurt his right hand, judging by the way he's fighting.

YEEESSSSS!!! Britain's own Pernell Whitaker fuckin does it!!!!

[Howlin Mad Missy]

entertaining.

[armyash]

Massive respect to Mitchell he has redeemed himself!

Said to the gf in 2nd if mitchell can survive the onslaught and get through to 7th round he can start to take over what a result. Murray went downhill pretty quick

[ryanman]

Get in Mitchell!!

I really thought after the 4th or 5th he was going to wilt but he proved me wrong.

Wow, Murray has some real facial damage.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

eyes are messy. good scrap. neither I reckon are world level but there yer go.

[JazMerkin]

So pleased that I was wrong with my prediction. Fantastic from Mitchell. He looked to really be struggling in the 5th & I thought he would go, but he dug through it & stops his man. Great fight as well, actually erased my disgust at the previous outing.

I didn't think Mitchel had it in him, bit he boxed well, accuracy and variety.

Had a few shakey moments, but great fight.

Well done Kevin Mitchell.

reckon i agree, the potential is there Mitchells' upper body movement was looking good at times but he needs to work on his defence and stop blocking stupid shots with his face.

[JazMerkin]

Fuck me, look at his ear

Ok, after that fight, the obvious next question - where do you have Mitchell now in your all time top ten p4p? Above or below Henry Armstrong?

Was genuinely worried about Mitchell coming back in with a tough guy like Murray, but in the first few the corner spotted he was in trouble, and got him being a bit more elusive, and really did well to wear Murray down and it was a great last few rounds.

Chuffed to bits to see him coming back from that, and he'll probably get another title shot out of it.

Is it me, or is the belt the gave him sized for a heavyweight?

Fuck me, look at his ear

I thought that, he looks like the BFG!
