Mitchell to fight Katsidis for WBO belt in London

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

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.

If Mitchell boxes Katsidis like he did Prescott, he'll win. If he gets drawn into a war you have to like Katsidis' chances.

You got it.

He used to get lured into brawls, like he did vs Carl Johanneson. But i think he's matured now, and say what you want about Breidis Prescott. But he never landed one clean punch on Kevin Mitchell, he boxed a very good fight and his upper body movement was very good.

I like both fighters alot, Michael Katsidis reminds me of Arturo Gatti. But i gotta go with Kevin Mitchell being from London. And also because i have liked him for quite sometime.

Katsidis gona knock him out

This is a way bigger task than Prescott for me, Prescott lived off what he did to Khan but to me is not what many (including me) thought he would be. Taking nothing from Mitchell though he is a good little fighter but i'll make my mind up after this fight.

Also whilst i'm thinking about saturdays fights i'd like to see Cleverly fight someone along the lines of Glen Johnson or Tarver next. I really think he would take either.

Mitchell has a decent chin and decent power. He has always been known as a gun-slinger but has calmed down lately. But I for one would predict this new found calmness could disappear very easily against someone like Katsidis.

[THE THIRD MAN]

There will be nothing pretty about this fight and Mitchell will be drawn into a slugfest whether he wants to or night. His win against Prescott was achieved by good solid boxing, Katsidis is a charging rhino and Mitchell will have to fend him off somehow and that means taking risks and landing plenty before the little K man gets in first. I think Mitchell has the skills to win but this is one fight i am looking forward to seeing. I hope Khan will be watching.
