    Mitchell vs Murray was highly competitive with a few rounds give or take to either man. Mitchell was in a worrying position in one of the early rounds but from around 4 or 5 IIRC he took control and started to upset Murray with his hurtful shots.

    Good fight but if Katsidis still has a good fight left in him he will win. Mitchell was far to negative with his jab last time out. Fighting in reverse, This time he needs to stand his ground and make his punches pay. Not throw a jab for sake of it.

    We have to wait and see. If i was Katsidis i'd do what Steve Collins used to and run right across and tear into him. Don't allow Kevin any rhythm or foothold in the fight.

    Yeah, first fight Kats took 2 rounds to look at him. It wouldn't surprise me if he just got straight to it if they fight again.

    Rios is talking like Mitchell will be next up

    It seems likely that British pug Kevin Mitchell may end up being Rios’ dance partner when the time comes.
    “That’s the word right now,” Rios told me prior to his workout. “That’s what it looks like so far. We don’t know yet, we haven’t seen the contract. It hasn’t been on ink so we don’t really know. But that’s the word right now that Kevin Mitchell is the next opponent......Everybody that goes into that ring I respect. Boxing is a hard sport so I’m not overlooking him because maybe he had a bad day with Michael Katsidis, you never know. So, I will be ready for whatever he brings. I’m going to be ready for whatever. I’m just going to mentally and physically prepare myself for that,”

    That seems strange to me considering Frank has called a press conferance for monday. Everything shouls have been agreed by now. Rios is 100% the wrong move for Kev. ****, Katsidis is a little illogical this close after he beat him

    Can't blame him. Good earner to fight for the title again and it'll be big exposure for him stateside.

    It's a shame they're sacrificing him so soon. He needs more time and he could be a genuine world-level fighter.

    Its a weird one because I agree but it'll be fun while it lasts - there are much worse fights out there for Rios, and you never know he might get complacent... ;)
