Murray isn't as good as Katsidis. Mitchell does hit hard. I think Mitchell is the more skillful of the two and can outbox Murray for 12 rounds.
If Mitchell can get rid of the ring rust quickly, big, big ask, he will take it on points IMO. I think he's sharp enough to outmanouver Murray, and varied enough to stave Murray off. I don't rate Murray as a puncher, he's going to have to outwork Mitchell throughout to get the W IMO. I think Mitchell will be able to take it at mid-range, and hve enough toughness to get through the rough patches on the inside with Murray, although he might be better prepared for it after taking that quick and brutal shellacking from Katsidis. Murray will be much easier. Mitchell UD Murray.
Murray by stoppage. I think he's hungrier for success, he's naturally bigger and stronger..... Mitchell is a good domestic level fighter but he's faced a grand total of two good fighters, was knocked out by one and was all but gone against the other. I don't think he's got the mental toughness to come back from that, and will be pulled late in this one.
When will the tickets be released for this? I'm giving some serious thought to going to this as it could be a great fight.
if mitchell was allowed some tune ups i would favour him. I genunley think the best Mitchell beats the best Murray hands down every time but everything is in murrays favour apart from the venue.
Unless they can be shown to genuinely hate each other then I refuse to be interested in any fights in the future. A You Tube release of Murray dropping a plate of pie and mash on the floor or Mitchell saying he thinks Coronation Street isn't as good as it used to be, you know, something edgy.
