You'd also have put your house that if he ever fought Mitchell, Kevin would beat the snot out of him. He has massively improved since those days, but I don't think he has one skill that makes him a world class fighter. He also punches widely which makes him very open to a straight shot down the middle. I like Ricky, but I wouldn't be stunned if he lost this weekend.
A shot Katsidis showed everybody how overrated Mitchell really was
I dunno man, it all depends on which Kevin Mitchell shows up. The Murray and Burns fights are classic examples of this. Plus around the time of the Katsidis fight his family was getting into trouble for growing cannibis so it was likely playing on his mind. He should've pulled out really.
