Mitchell to fight Katsidis for WBO belt in London

[JazMerkin]

According to this the fight is on for either the O2 Arena or Upton Park in either May or June.

Either way is great for me as both are just a short drive away.

Should be a war.

Is there anything new in that story that wasn't in the saturday fight report? That's the same situation as told on saturday night. They've just changed the headline and told the score with Guerrero.. anyway

Great match-up. Surely Mitchell isn't quite big enough for an Upton Park job?

Mitchell KO 7-10.

I reckon Mitchell could well do Upton Park with the right promotion. Bring him about before a couple of West Ham games with a Hammers shirt on and you bring in people who aren't necessarily big boxing fans, but will get behind a guy from Dagenham in a world title fight.

I don't know if Mitchell stops him, but I think he wins a 115-111 decision with both guys going down once.

There's always a Kevin Mitchell fight poster up around town... I'm sure your right about Upton Park. I get the feeling Kevin Mitchell is one of those names that a LOT of Eastenders have heard of.... I think Upton Park could work.

There were a lot of empty seats at Wembley the other night. I would have expected a little more support for Mitchell if he's to do a stadium next.

Upton Park does what? 30,000?

I gotta confess i dont know that much about Mitchell. Whats he like chin wise?
Katsidis is there for the taking for anyone with a decent chin and reasonable boxing ability. Shame really cos i love watching the guy fight, and wish he won all the time.

Not to sure how this goes, Mitchell looks to have improved so much under Tibbs, and cant but go back to how easy Juan Diaz outboxed Katsidis year or two back, if I had to put my neck on the line and with it being in Kev's hometown I say Mitchell takes it.

Feel sorry for John Murray only 6 months ago he was seen as the best lightweight and would be going onto bigger and better things, he has not been heard off for ages and Kev has beat Prescott and now has a world title fight, that's what you get when you have a second rate promoter with no TV contract.

Can't wait for this fight though should be great.
