Fights on Saturday - Sept. 22nd - Burns vs. Mitchell

[Mars_ax]

Really looking forward to this. Not overly keen on Mitchell as a character, but I like him as a fighter. If he's sorted himself out properly, which he seems to have done under the Tibbs Team then I think Mitchell takes it, maybe by late stoppage or close UD.

Anyone have any secrets regarding good streams for this or any future. Been struggling a little of late with my regular place cutting out quite a bit during the fight. PM me if you can help....

Check with me via PM Saturday morning your time mate, i'll try to hook you up with some streams.

cheers

I think Mitchell has all the questions to answer. Burns has fought and won at the much higher level, hes proved he is genuine world class. Right now Mitchell isnt.

Both boxers styls will mix very well for this fight but im expecting Burns to outwork Mitchell over 12 winning an 8-4 type of fight although i think the scoring will be very close.

ps: im from Burns home city (Glasgow) so of course im gonna pick our world champion to win although i do think he will win (reasons above). Im also covering the whole bill and will be collecting scores etc from press and fans from saddo and otehr forums

Will need to record the Sky bill from belfast, looking forward to Frampton vs Molitor , i think its a 50-50 ifght

For the fans of both boxers, its about which fighter wants it more Burns has had some loses, but has
shown no ill effect , the fact is he's come back a better fighter to my mind.!
Mitchell on the other hand, may have beat Murray but is he a fighter with a stable mindset, did that
defeat damage him mentally. I don't really know but I have feeling it did, for this fight I go for Burns
its in his back yard and he's the champ.

Thought there would more hype about this fight.

The Mitchell camp are claiming he's trained 100% properly for this. Therefore, as I believe he's the more talented, I think he'll pull off the upset. I think he has the power to bust Burns up too.

Mitchell TKO 10

No way Mitchell stops Burns, Burns has never been stopped before and his two L were years ago. Burns wins and wins easy and then all the Mitchell fans will say Mitchell didnt have his head right, thats rubbish Mitchell is just not at the same level as Burns.If anyone gets the KO its Burns

How is Mitchell not at Burns level? Take away the Katsidis result and their competition is fairly level.

Carl Johanneson knocked down, bullied and bashed Burns up. Martinez had him down. Burns has heart but he can be hurt and put down.

He is also a powderpuff puncher. The only way he stops Mitchell is if he quits (or Mitchell enters the ring drunk).

@Fenster

I just put down 40 squiddles backing Frampton & Mitchell...
I'm looking at getting 170 back.

I expect you to come AFTER the results and say of course you backed the winners in several ways and managed to rake in over 450 quid.

[CutMeMick]

I just saw Bradley Saunders opponent try and convince the ref. to let him fight on after a knockdown by trying to stand on one leg...

That was fucken comical. Thought he was gonna do the Karate Kid kick.

This is going to be a cracker...really looking forward to the fight tonight. I love watching John Simpson fight too, and Scott Harrison back in action, we'll see how things go.

I've done the same bet, which gives me great pleasure in knowing you've got more chance of winning the lottery than seeing that $170. Every cloud sliver lining... ahh

(I do also have numerous bets that cover either fighter winning plus the amount of rounds fought)

Come on Rory and Tiger!!!!
