    Not really.... Styles make fights. Burns will outbox him.

    In your opinion. With respect styles points to Burns winning. Mitchell just got out boxed for eight rounds by a somalian road sweeper. :good

    Just booted you off freinds list, your posts lack content or sense. Your a ****ing idiot, burns will outbox mitchell and mitchell will fight like he is duran. If burnsy's chin holds up (like i think it will) he will win by points, it is defo worth a score. And all this from a mitchell fan:good

    In my opinion mitchell has guts taking this fight after a layoff and a string of below par performances...

    Mitchell win for me although I'm not a big fan of Mitchell's skillset really...not my type of fighter...he's crude, walks into punches, squares up, leads with hooks, just has a ugly fightgame.

    Having said that styles make fights and this is a bad match-up for Ricky Burns he's made to order for Mitchell, he doesn't have the pop to get mitchells attention and he himself circles into powershots and gets flustered, for Burns to win he's gonna have to fight smart, walk him into punches, establish the jab and spoil on the inside, circle away from power punches and bring the straight rights, hooks and uppercut into effect as Mitchell squares up and and comes in...then spin him.

    Both have alotta flaws but Burns has more stacked against him here he needs to be almost flawless to get the W. I can see him starting well banking the early rounds looking like he's boxing his ears off then Mitchell gradually getting to him by the mid way point and sealing it from there. should be very interesting because its definitely not a lock pick as they have so many flaws between them.
