I think he did come of age too ... Ive always been a big Mitch fan but thought he was way way too static in there tonight ... and Carl had him worried on a number of occasions ...
Ya gotta feel a little sorry for the Leeds lad, may be those nights or alleged nights that he is rumored to have had on the town caught up with him in the end, but I could not understand the commentator hinting that Carl had gone because he'd given his all, and had run a little out of gas
Of course he was tired, but Mitchell was hitting him all through the fight with half decent body shots, which for me would have to tell at some stage, and eventually did,
There will certainly be some major homework done by the Mitchell camp before they step up again, there has to be, ie using his guard with effect, and if someone can let Mitch know that it is ok for him to move his head sometimes, and to use the jab which he does well or has done in the past ... except for the right hand guard dropping that is .....
But fair play to Mitchell he came through against who Id describe as a strong, tuff, reasonably hard hitting though limited, journeyman, that was there to win though....
But he is going to have to improve, as we saw nothing new tonight except that he really does take a shot well ... and that when his back his against the wall ... he can deliver a little bit of class ..... at this level, but beyond that, well ....who knows.
