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.
