No question mate i'd love to see both of them stand toe to toe, for 36 minutes. But i just think Kevin Mitchell has improved as a boxer, and his boxing skills will really shine here.
As i said thats not to say it will be a bad fight, it can't be you have Michael Katisidis who is basically like the modern day Arturo Gatti, and Kevin Mitchell who isn't afraid of a scrap.
But as you see against another dangerous puncher in Breidis Prescott, he realized he couldn't stand toe to toe. So he used angles, moved well. And engaged when he wanted to.
I don't think Michael Katisidis will allow Kevin Mitchell to box like that, because Michael Katisidis is a better pressure fighter. So he will force Kevin Mitchell to fight in spots, but overall Kevin Mitchell's quicker handspeed and boxing skills will be the difference.
Shame im not still in London otherwise, i'd really be up for seeing this.
