Katsidis TKO3 Mitchell

thank goodness he got the KO

when i read the RBR there was quite a few ppl who gave Mitchell the 1st round when it was dominantely controlled by Kats.

 

He landed a lucky punch! Kevin Mitchell is the real deal.

That f'n sucked.

 

Stoppage looked a little quick to me

 

The first left, then the right, then the left again, then the other right, then that big left at the end. That lucky *******.

 

Good stoppage...not the best. I personally thought Mitchell could've fallen and then recoup'd a bit to survive, but can't argue with the stoppage.

Katsidis just beat the ever loving **** outta this dude.

 

Same here, but it seemed justified :conf

 

He's a young bloke - Nothing wrong with taking him out of the contest at that point. Then so he has more chance to retool and have another go. He should learn from that.

 

Mitchell would have been bludgeoned if it wasn't stopped, he was hurt badly already in that round. They want to save him for the future, which is why the ref came in before the pain was really thrown down.

 

Bad stoppage imo, sure he was hurt but I'm a believer the ref should hold off until the man gets knocked down and let him take a count and see how he is afterwards.

Different fighters have a different recovery rate after a KD, we didn't even get to see Mitchells.

 

Mitchell was completely out of it, i thought that was a good stoppage by the ref.

 

The stoppage was fine. Mitchell was on his way to being brutalized. It was apparent he had NOTHING to keep Kat off with. Kat walked through all his punches, and just man handled and devestated him. I dont see how it was a case of Mitchell not being prepared. It was the same Kevin Mitchell as always. It was just man against boy in there.

 

Mitchell was defenseless and on the ropes which is why it was stopped.

Katsidis definitely controlled and won the 1st round. Found out he was the much stronger fighter and took him out accordingly.
