I fancy Mitchell to win this fight by KO, not seen loads of Linares but what I have seen is quite impressive, he boxes nicely and packs a decent shot. Mitchell has been superb the last 2 years and I think this might be the perfect fight for him against someone who is very good but has been KO'd before and im sure Mitchell will hit him harder than anyone has before.
Linares has alot more in his locker then Mitchell. You couldnt even conclusively say Mitchelll holds a better shot then Linares.................and thats saying something! Linares earlish brutal KO
You couldn't finish a debate with me a few days ago and ran away so don't be talking about me to other people.
think a fully motivated and focused K Mitchell wins this on points. There is a worry where the 2 biggest fights he's been in (katsidis at upton park + ricky burns) he's mentally not been right, his performance against Estrada suggests his minds in the right place for this one.
...but when he loses his fans will do their usual "he didn't have a good camp" BS that we hear after every poor performance...
Jorge Linares defends his WBC Lightweight title against Kevin Mitchell at the O2 arena on the 30th of May. Who wins?
Same here...I've begun leaning towards Mitchell as my rooting interest but still believe Linares will stop him.
In my opinion, Linares is a p-4-p talent, he has just had some tough breaks. I think he continues winning here, though Mitchell is live. Tough one for me though because I like them both.
