    Burns basis his game on power and last time out was proven to have had virtually none. If this fight i made before Roach has had a while to teach him how to defend the right hand side of his body then yes mate, I do expect burns to win

    Thank you mate. Nice to see another poster agree with a point instead of arguing their point until blue in the face. Listen i'm not saying Burns WILL win this, just IMO he will do at the moment. In the future I could probably sway towards Mitchell, but i'm just basing my points on previous outings

    Good fight for Mitchell to take. Burns is an ok domestic class opponent who should give him a few rounds before his big fights come along. It is a shame Kev has not fought in a better class yet though.

    About time.

    Once upon a time I said Burns but then Mitchell improved so I said Mitchell but then Burns improved and it becomes close.

    I now think it's a case of who can be the clever fighter and execute the game plan, be it boxing, brawling or whatever.

    Mitchell's improved his boxing and it appears Burns may have improved his brawling...

    ...but Mitchell might be with Roach now.

    It's a good close fight where there are no definites, so I am happy.

    I wouldn't say he has no power O'Hara has a good chin he hasn't been knocked down to my knowledge and he has been in there with Choi and Castle.

    I think Mitchell take Burns out by KO

    You guys are doing a Fantasy League? Sick I'll join up I've already made a team.

    Also I'm going with Mitchell atm. I think he would have a few problems early rounds but eventually would get to Burns and stop him late.

    Ah no problem:good
    I think mitchell has good power look at the Johansen fight but then again the injury might be playing on his mind during a fight.

    I think people are looking into Mitchell's last outing too much. Let's be fair, he would have wanted rounds under his belt and, as LHL alludes to, he may have been a bit wary about his hand staying in one piece. I won't be changing my prediction- Burns is very good but Mitchell is better, IMO.
