[SalTheButcher]

[Violent Demise]

Come on. I got Mitchell on points in the prediction contest. Fucking punk. Can never trust a UK fighter

[SalTheButcher]

HORRIBLE stoppage

[Violent Demise]

Mitchell should of carried him to the bell that way I could of got the points

[superheavyrhun]

HORRIBLE stoppage

Can't believe you think that was a bad stoppage. Johanneson was done, wasn't returning any shots and was on very shaky legs. He was taking punches to the head, wasn't looking up, and I don't think Ian John Lewis can be blamed at all for stepping in.

Kevin Mitchell said afterwards: "I think I came of age tonight. He's the second in the rankings. I beat him there, he's a great champion. Carl's a warrior and a strong man. I learned different tactics, and sometimes I outmuscled him and sometimes I stepped it up. I've watched the HAttons and the Calzaghe's and they've all come through learning fights like that. I will not give up no matter what. I moved around in the early rounds, but I proved I have the heart of a champion. You've got to learn to dig deep sometimes. I've still got loads to learn, I'm only 23, and I will be world champion."

Mitchell by stunning KO! Fantastic finish, and Johanneson just seemed to hit the wall big time in that round. Good stoppage....and a sensational fight.

[superheavyrhun]

Mitchell put in an amazing shift, and he hugs Frank Maloney, and they share a good chat and a hug, and both fighters deserve a lot of praise, but Mitchell coming back from nearly being stopped is superbly impressive.

Questions on his chin answered, his punch power in stopping the tough, durable Johanneson was exceptional, and Mitchell is now the British and Commonwealth title holder.

Once again, fantastic exciting fare, and hopefully more to come for the main event.
