Murray - Mitchell

[CFH]

This fight was postponed from last week and there are rumors Mitchell is not fit or up for it.

If everything was kosher, it would be a fantastic fight. I reckon Mitchell would outbox Murray in a classic. But hearing the current reports on him, I just hope he turns up.

Three other cracking fights on the night. Gavin-Woodhouse have been slagging each other off on another site, Burns-Cook should be close, and Bellew-McKenzie had 50 knockdowns last time. Great stuff.

That's too bad about Mitchell if true. Do you know how serious the charges against him are?

Sounds like a great card. Which sucks because I won't be able to watch them as I'll be in Vancouver signing the lease for our new place. I also missed Wlad - Haye because of this moving bullshit.

Jaz was the first to let on about Mitchells problems. All turned out true. The inside reports make it sound as though he's turning up for a payday and is ruined since the Katsidis loss. Still you never know with this boxing lark...

Good luck with the new place

If that's the case, it might be smart for me to put a few bucks on a Murray TKO victory. Then again, perhaps this is just another of Jaz's many plots to bring down the white man.

its a myth that murray got a gift descision in that fight against mohammad al whatever he was called (jim whatt sounding off)

yes it wasnt a great performance but he deserved to win, check it out on you tube

anyway, i would probably lean towards mitchell in what would probably be a war (like someone else has already pointed out) but if he is even slightly off pomp then i would say murray stops him

i might be camping on saturday night, but the weather may have saved my bacon as it ios forecast heavy rain so i might get to watch it

Even I couldn't fuck up Mitchell as much as he's tried to fuck himself up in the last 18 months. Look at a picture of him after the Prescott fight & now. He's aged about 10 years in that time. He's got like some anti-oil of olay shit.

I really don't rate Murray highly at all, I think he's been very well matched by Steve Wood & Hennessy on the way up & despite all the criticism of Warren, he does make sure his guys generally get the right challenges to improve them.

If this was even the shoddy, drunk Mitchell that turned up for the Kats fight, I'd pick him. It's not. He's spent a year very publicly (in the London boxing scene anyway) blowing obscene amounts of cash on drink & drugs. He's been getting fucked up in sparring by guys who really shouldn't be doing so. The guy who lives the life will take it. Murray in 7.

Could not agree any more , everything you have said is spot on , Mitchell has fucked himself up big time by acting like a arse , boxing careers are very short and extremely hard ,he is wasting what talent he has by pissing it up the wall, he needs to get his house in order after he loses to Murray or his career is over . Murray TKO rd 10 .

How dyou know this about Mitchell? Are you mates with boxers in his gym or anything? I just would like to know if this is hearsay or if you actually are speaking the truth from being in the know cos I quite fancy Murray for this one myself I already have a bet on him

To be quite honest mate, it's pretty much public knowledge among the London clubs. I heard from a fella at the Repton (not Mitchell's old club, he boxed for West Ham), but I trust that person not to spread unkind rumours. But, tbh mate everyone knows. He made no secret of it, at least after the Katsidis fight & I've heard it discussed by at least half a dozen people who definitely would know. It's a shame because he was a nice talent & what a boost it would've been for the guys at West Ham, of whom there's at least a couple I can think of who look like they could make excellent pros.

Cheers fo getting back to me so quickly. Ive heard a lot about the drinking problems, thats being doing the rounds. But I hadnt heard about other drugs (coke) although I guess thats part of the drink/drugs problem. I hadnt heard anything about him getting done over in sparring though. Is that sparring recent in the training camp for this fight or back when he was an alcoholic and in his time off etc

The sparring thing could be hearsay someone told me that Billy Morgan was duffing him up in sparring. Those things get said all the time, it's just more believable given how Mitchell has lived over the past year. It also isn't necessarily a bad thing. I mean I'd heard that Groves was having a tough time prior to the DeGale fight, not just with the likes of Dirrell, but was reportedly not having an easy go of it against Chris Eubank Jr. But given the result & having seen Chris Jr live, I can see why it would have been a benefit.

How good is Chris Jr?

[roberto duran legend]

Not sure about that , but it would not surprise me in the slightest , how can you be at the top of your game when you are on the lash all the time i think your money is well safe mate .

[roberto duran legend]

Mitchell has been on the piss ever since he got his butt kicked by Katsidis ,he said so himself in the press , apparently has blown £100 k , he is all over the place ,was also involved in some drug related shit , arsehole .

[0james0]

His mum (who he lives with) was busted for dealing coke a few months back. Rumour was he was mixed up in it.

From what I've heard he's back to a strict regime, but I still don't think he's going to have enough to win.
