i would imagen very slim,simply because frank would want to give the english fighter the advantage ,

i hope this happens, a big learning curve for both fighters as i think at this point both will come up short if either fight for a world title. i'd give mitchell the edge with roach helping out now although burns will make it very close.

Great Domestic Fight, I Think Mitchell TKO in the late rounds in a fight which is fight of the year worthy

billy nelson · 08-17-2009, 07:41 AM

i dont see this fight happening for the british its worthy of better imo,mitchell wont win the fight let alone ko ricky,theres to much freddie roach emphaisie on this fight as ive said before british coaches are every bit as good if not better than the americans.

that may be true but Roach takes it to another level.

billy nelson · 08-17-2009, 10:33 AM

granted amir has improved since being with freddie,but it would be far to say there were quite a few faults, can he do the same with kevin remains to be seen.

I think that's debatable Billy.

However I agree with your point on Freddie Roach. All of a sudden he has become a messiah of boxing trainers - I hear Peter Buckley is making a comeback and is heading to the Wildcard.

Will soon be in the top 10 P4P

You saw me thinking out aloud.

REGARDING Mitchell going to Roach ( when he does ) and what happened with Hatton/ Mayweather.

If he goes and the fight was in the next cpl of months ( yeah i know its not ) then i forsee trouble for Mitchell REGARDLESS of opponent.

IF he was in trouble fightwise and in two minds.

Do what he been learning recently ( under Roach when it happens ) or do what he knows best.

WAS what i was thinking.

Seriously, get a grip eh.

You made yersel look a fud enough with ya Limond pish, try to mend yer ways.

Agreed. Plus remember that it has taken Roach 3 fights to start seriously improving Khan's defense. Before then he used the one thing that Khan had already got which nobody else did......His speed.

Mitchell doesn't have that ONE TOOL that Roach can use to hide behind until he irons out the rest of the stuff.

As great a trainer as Roach is he is getting overrated now.

roach = legend

Beeston Brawler · 08-17-2009, 11:14 AM

The Buckley thing was obviously said in jest, but it will soon get to the stage where a pretty limited, middle of the road domestic fighter, say Commonwealth level, just hops on a plane in search of Roach and a meal ticket to being a champion.

A lot of this has happened on the work he has done with Pacquiao, who by all accounts was a one handed slugger..... obviously if there is raw materials to work with you can create a masterpiece, but it is now getting out of hand.

Dr. Roach and all that shit

Dan684 · 08-17-2009, 11:14 AM

He is a very good coach jisawigsaw but what remains to be seen is what he'll do with Kev
