UK Boxing - Bellew/McKenzie --- Burns/Cook --- Murray/Mitchell - Discussion Thread

Well done Mitchell!!!

I've always been amazed/disappointed how badly he folded in the Katsidis fight.

Always thought he was much better than Murray.

So pleased that I was wrong with my prediction. Fantastic from Mitchell. He looked to really be struggling in the 5th & I thought he would go, but he dug through it & stops his man. Great fight as well, actually erased my disgust at the previous outing.

Ok, after that fight, the obvious next question - where do you have Mitchell now in your all time top ten p4p? Above or below Henry Armstrong?

I don't know, how many 'ranked contenders' has he beaten now?

Fuck me, look at his ear

My housemate was just pointing out exactly the same thing. Weird looking balance in between the ears.

Typical Kevin Mitchell bout, reminded me some of Mitchell v Johanneson in terms of Mitchell trying to be evasive and looked to be on the receiving end for a lot of the fight.

Yeah if I didn't have the Katsidis fight in my memory those last 2-3 rounds would have been exactly what I would have expected.

I think everyone outside Manchester did, but the question had to be how much he had left given how he's lived out of the ring. I just hope they don't stick him in with Rios because he don't have a shot there.

I'm not sure, but not enough of them have been in black and white for my liking.

I already know the result of this fight thanks to some knobhead friend who texted me from ringside & he's right Gavin looked in shit condition.

[JazMerkin]

Ok now the result is clear, apparently the general consensus ringside was that Woodhouse won. Couldn't really gage from that highlights clip. McGuigan is right though. Gavin strikes me as someone who is determined to become like a new Errol Christie, in terms of talent wasted

An SD win over Woodhouse does not look good. Gavin looked in terrible shape. He is never a LWW. He is sliding badly lately. Not even giving the refs chance to jump in and give him a stoppage win.

cook has a prolapsed disc. ouch

This was at Welter. I've always been very sceptical about him. He's not come along as a pro in the same way guys like DeGale, Groves & Price have.

Lazy, his talent will only carry him so far. Like Mcguigan said could be a huge waste of talent he should be handling the likes of Woodhouse easier than that,happy for woodhouse though i think he was massively disrespected at the press conference.

Frank only stuck him in with his new boy because he thought he was finished. That was meant to be the Murray show. No chance he gets put in with Rios (couple of "gimmes" here we come)

Gavin is not only a waste of talent but CLEARLY a powderpuff puncher. He's always gonna struggle...
