OK Bud

I just want to say one thing before I head out for lunch..

I could be forgetting some names but I dont think Ive seen a Euro fighter this skilled since Joe Calzaghe... Super Kev got that style... He's made from a similiar cloth as fighters such as Marquez, Linares, and Nonito.. Skillwise, Kev has it... Burns better give him a shot..

What fool would watch box nation when you can just stream the fights for free.

What fool would have Sky Sports when you can stream the fights for free.

Damn right

What fool would watch a fight on his computer when you can watch it on your tv?

[erics44]

I would back mitchell against burns as i think style make fights

[Pugilistic]

If Mitchell and Burns were to fight, i would favor Burns.

Burns is actually a better technician than Mitchell and he's also tougher and bigger.

Burns wins UD imo.

I dont agree with the technician opinion

Burns is tough i agree, but mitchell s a lot tougher than he looked in the katsidis fight

Burn's took his shoot's, were Mitchell could not, what doe's that tell you?
Ricky's got the better chin.

This aint no amateur hour, Pug.. We dont say stuff like that..

I try to respect others' opinion but you are totally wrong about that...

That's like saying Zab is mentally tougher than Bradley..

I presume you are trying to wind us all up ? Mitchell is a good fighter with plenty of heart but he is also really easy to hit. You can use the Prescott fight as an example of exactly how Burns would not fight him. Mitchell is used to people standing in front of him and trading, and this allows him to use his Boxing ability to look good in catching and counter punching his opponent. Burns won't stand in front of him and get drawn into Mitchell's game. He will be much more elusive and if needs be, mix up styles mid-fight. I have not seen Kevin adapt as well as Burns yet and if it happens it will be a close fight but Mitchell is less like Calzaghe then Burns. Burns engine is awesome and like Joe he will not tire towards the end of fights. You can catch him early and he will learn from it. Mitchell got caught by Murray and did not change his style. There are plenty of skilled European fighters who can match or beat Mitchell for skills since Calzaghe you just ain't been paying attention.

Burns is elusive?? You make it sound as if he's some cute technician.. I dont see it.. Burns imo is more of a fighter than a boxer. I wouldnt use the Katsidis bout to gauge Burns' boxing ability cuz a crude fighter like Kat can make many fighters look like a better technician than they really are..

No Beans, Im not trying to wind up anybody..

I want you to list those British fighters who are more skilled than Mitchell... Let's see it.

No it's not Dinamita.

I think Burns is the better boxer while Mitchell is the better well round fighter.

Against a common opponent in Katsidis, Burns was able to use his boxing ability to outbox Katsidis for a decision win while Mitchell tried to use his boxing ability yet was stopped in three rounds.

That has to been taken in account when comparing the two fighters.

I like Mitchell alot myself and i think a fight with Burns woud be a good one but to make out Mitchell is on another level is silly.

[erics44]

Burn's took his shoot's, were Mitchell could not, what doe's that tell you?
Ricky's got the better chin.

Yep i agree, ricky is tough, i was one of the few before the kat fight predicting a burns win on the back of his toughness

Mitchell has a better chin than he showed against kat tho i think

And although i think burns is a lot more powerful than his record suggests he doesnt quite have the kind of power to ko kevin, and kevin is a better boxer

If you claim that Burns has a better chin and is more durable, Id would agree.. But to say that he's the superior technican is 100% wrong.. He's not the better boxer and you can ask any trainer out there or anyone who boxes, they'll tell you the same.

WE can't use Katsidis as a measuring tool cuz the difference is, Mitchell fought a prime Katsidis while Burns fought a war torn version of him.. and on top of that, Mitchell was inexperienced at the time and he didnt train properly due to outside issues..

Ricky Burns may have played the role of a boxer against a one dimensional Katsidis but against Mitchell, he would have to be the aggressor cuz you dont box with the superior boxer and his camp knows this... If they are realistic about things, they SHOULD know that they have to take the fight to Mitchell without attempting to outbox the superior technician.

Ricky Burns just doesn't have the punching power to put Kevin off his tracks.. That's the main thing for me.. He's not a good pressure fighter and at the same time, he doesn't have real punching either so a fighter like him will not give Kevin much to think about.

I watched both guys again last night and ohhh mannnn, lol, Ricky Burns is TAILOR MADE for Kev.. tailor made.

Ill tell you guys right now. If this fight comes off this year, I want you dudes to put your money where you mouth is.

[g3org3]

Burns beats Mitchell easy over 12 rounds might even stop him late on

[rosco1984]

Finito u keep going on about not gauging Ricky burns on the kat fight. Because all ov a sudden kat is done blah blah!!!.agreed Kat has had a tough career but am pretty sure he wos in his fare share ov wars before the Mitchell fight also.am also intrested to know wot Mitchell fights ur watching that makes him this world class fighter?presscot the guy is very average and done zero since khan,most recently the murray fight very gd fight to watch but Mitchell wos hurt a gd few times and had to dig very deep.
