    I lthink Mitchell but Ricky Burns was never a big puncher. Linares been stopped 3 times but you have to take in account the guys they've fought and the type of knockout.


    Linares been stopped earlier by a round or two before Mitchell. Burns has a good chin and that's about all he has so he took what Mitchell had.


    I think Linares hits harder than Mitchell but i guess you've got to take into account who've they fought and who they're stopping. Durable guys, laundromat workers,...etc...


    I lean towards Mitchell due to the crowd at the O2. I think they'll get behind him and Linares will feel the pressure even though Linares has been on the road in his career in Japan,...etc...but it's a different story.


    Kevin Mitchell by stoppage 5th or 6th round if he survives the early onslaught.

    We often think about Linares's stoppages but he had been dropped by "bums" early in his career

    Mitchell was stopped by burns, burns is no puncher but was a world level lightweight. If you're not training properly and partying hard, you're not fighting fit. No resistance.
    Katsidis was also a world level fighter and pretty strong although not a huge puncher, a very hard fighter if you're not elite.

    Mitchell has beaten estrada, john murray who was a good fighter, Prescott he decapitated khan, maduma looked pretty good. He ate all their hardest shots.

    Mitchell hasn't got a terrible chin, it's average. I think he hits harder than linares aswell.
    If goes toe to toe, mitchell for me. Linares can outbox him though.
