I see it as pretty much the same as you.

Mitchell has not seemed like he's chomping at the bit to get back in the ring, don't think Warren is too keen on him as a person i'm sure a few months back there was a story or 2 circulating about Mitchell thinking about leaving warren anyway but i doubt the offers were coming in thick and fast.

There something about Mitchell, i used to be a big fan and been to see him a few times. I always thought he lacked power to mix it with the big boys. If he comes out with BS excuses after losing this fight i wont support him anymore he needs to get his head right fast. After losing to Katsidis he kept saying stuff like he couldnt get in his own home for a change of clothes etc, he should have disappeared from all distractions and lived a fighters life. I have a feeling he's probably out enjoying being a local celebrity too much.

and getting caught up with drugs is not going to do him any favours in the build up, having it on his mind even if he thinks he can handle it could have a negative effect over time.
