    You've noticed it too :good

    My wife instantly said the same thing as soon as he started talking on Ringside and I had to agree in the end.

    I said it might have been nose damage first of all, sounding a little bit nasal but I had to admit he did sound like he was slurring.

    He sounded the same on an IFL TV interview that I saw yesterday.

    Seriously , Id have Burns Crolla Campbell and possibly Derry all beating kevin based on that Gung ho style , 3 times hes attempted world level and 3 times hes been battered to say the least

    Disagree stevie, it's that gung-ho style that would of made Mitchell walk all over crolla & burns, because as we have seen before , both ant & Ricky seem to love "getting involved" and as for the way Mitchell was fighting the other night, I'd have him having them out of there.

    As for Campbell, well as much as I rate the kid, we can only assume when it comes to his mentality when "in the trenches" so who knows.

    My LW pick is (on form recently)
    Mitchell - will take a rematch win with linares

    Burns - can be a force if renewed at LW

    Crolla - deserves his chance

    Mathews - always has his chance doesn't he

    Flanagan - untested,but also seems to have tools to go far

    Campbell - bags potential,will rule in 18months

    Coyle - above domestic only due to excitement

    Cardle - nothin more than euro level,if lucky.weak.

    Id like to see cardle v coyle for british. Coyle hasnt proved himself at british level. His just hyped cause his from hull to be fed to luke Campbell. Without the injury gethin wud hav stopped coyle. Look at the jobs matthews and flannigan did to gethin and compare that to coyle.

    I'd back a fully fit and focused Luke Campbell to beat anyone at lightweight right now. Honestly this guy is a special talent.

    Looking at Cardle both on the scales and in the ring id say hes very meaty for lightweight , bitta graft and the right diet i think he could make super feather easy enough
