Jorge Linares - Kevin Mitchell...Stand out fight of the night ?

[Tam Seddon]

Also like to say that it's a great card which will provide good entertainment. It's far more PPV worthy than Bellew-Cleverly 2. With so many names on the bill, annoying as it is, you can see why it's PPV

This is the fight I'm most looking forward to as well. Really is a 50-50 being in London. As always it depends on which Mitchell turns up. I'm leaning towards Linares. I just think Kevin might be one of those fighters that is always the bridesmaid.

The more I look at this fight the more I fancy Linares. Not only does he have the pedigree - before he got chinned out the first time plenty (including moi) thought he was the dogs bollocks - but he looks much faster. Mitchell blames his life out of the ring for the other defeats - which was clearly a factor - but I think he half-bottled it too. Mitchell definitely has a punchers chance though, and if i'm totally wrong and it goes late, then Mitchell has a great chance.

Don't think it's a long fight though.

I think Linares will stop him. Mitchell will have to be as flawless as he was against Prescott to have a chance. Kind of think that if Katsidis and Burns can both stop him early, i think that Linares, providing he carries his power, will again. He's been in decent KO form.

I am a fan of both fighters but have to support Kevin and hope he has one of those magical nights where he is at his best.

I think he openly admits that around the time he fought Katsidis and Burns , he was an undedicated pisshead.
I know they all come out with excuses and "now they're in the best shape of their life", but I genuinely believe Mitchell.

Great fight, you can't really back Linares with confidence as he's chinny, but one of those "he'd win 9 of 10" scenarios imo. Mitchell isn't as good, isn't as fast, and is vulnerable himself.

I saw a video of Linares knocking a sparring partner the fuck out lol

This could well be true, but I really hope Mitchell does it. he has definitely matured and is more focussed in the last year or two.
