Kevin Mitchell v Carl Johansson, WHAT A FIGHT!!

[ono]

Fight of the year so far for me. Easily.

I desperately wanted Carl to win aswel. Mitchell is one tough SOB as Jim Ross would say!

Great fight.. always was going to be.

It went exactly as I expected (apart from the winner )

I backed Carl and started counting my money in the 6th round, thought it was only a matter of time.. fuck knows where Mitchell got that second wind from...

He showed a granite chin and serious arsehole.

I take it you have not seen Vazquez v Marquez3 then?

I'll track this fight down but I've not seen much mentioned of it being a FOTY contender,I just heard it was exciting.

Yes quality fight. Mictehll throws too many punches and just predictable and Carl started to time his right hands mid way. Mitchell needs to show more guile as he get to the better fighters. Amir was watching and they may fight in the future.

It was good to watch but Mitchell doesn't look like he'll ever be a serious world title contender. Kind of like Alex Arthur, good enough to beat domestic opposition but no chance at world level.

Man i'm gutted i didn't see much of this fight...I was plotting my way to some better seats when the fight was on lol
We were in the top tier but I had my eye on these seats 15 rows back from the ring the whole night as they just didn't seem to be occupied..Made it there so I called my friends to come down as well and Mitchell got the KO while they were on their way..gutted..I still saw it though
Those last few rounds were really exciting from what I remember.

Great fight.
In the early going I felt Johannsen was far too rigid and straight forward for Mitchell, but was surprised to see Mitchell "tire so badly" after the third. Come the sixth round it looked as if it was over, with Mitchell looking spent, but he gritted it out, returned to his plan and produced an impressive KO.


I was glad to seee Mitchell win as I feel he has a style which can improve and allow him to progress to world level, whereas Johannsen is limited to forever being a domestic fighter. imo

Mitchell did well to recover and show great heart to get throw the 6th,but i think they will have to slow down with him he aint ready for the world scene yet.
