Is Graham Earl on another planet!?

Poor bloke has had one to many shots to the head, the closer the fight gets the more I fancy Katsidis, I have said Mitchell from the start but I have doubts. I am leaning towards Kats.

I think if Mitchell can keep his composure and not get drawn into a violent scrap from the off he has a good chance. He needs to win rounds by not being overwelamed by the pressure Katsidis will apply, and i think the later the fight draws on the more chance Mitchell has. I hope he wins this fight, I know its going to be a cracker and hes earnt the right to be fighting the best. Come on Mitchell, lets have him

horrible watching earl do an interview. The beatings over the years have taken its toll and his eyes just give the impression that he isnt all there!

And yes the rematch thing was truly cringeworthy

[Tam Seddon]

didnt he have a nose piercing too hahaha ?

[ono]

I remember him doing an interview after the Khan fight, still on queer street going on about how it was a premature stoppage. Piss funny. He might have even been sat on a stretcher come to think of it.

The Katsidis fight ended his career - that was a truly terrible beating inflicted on him. Its obviously done lasting damage, judging by these comments.

Though I agree with him regarding Katsidis winning the fight against Mitchell.

I haven't watched Mitchell fight whatsoever. Anybody have the dig on how this guy fights? What are his strengths/weaknesses?

I have watched plenty of Katsidis! Just good ol' battle axe fighting. Like he's chopping away at a stump for as many rounds as it takes.

Kind of random.. did anyone hear Katsidis' corner in the Juan Diaz fight telling him he was ahead on the cards, and to fight carefully in about the 10th-11th frame? I hope he gets a new head trainer. That guy must have been delusional watching that fight... much like when he told Kats to go after Casamayor in the later rounds when he was 5-6 rounds up on the cards.

Earl has always had a vacant look about him.
