Considering Mitchell went life and death with domestic level Carl Johanesson a few fights ago at 130 and that his best win is against a guy hand picked to go four of five rounds with Amir Khan then get stopped then you can legitimately wonder about why people are picking him. Katsidis is the naturally bigger guy and is at least a level above anyone Mitchell has ever fought. Mitchell has shown good boxing skills and power recently though and he's at home so people are backing him. I picked him but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him lose. If Katsidis is big and strong enough to impose himself on Mitchell and turn it into a war it's going to be difficult for Kevin.
