BULL****!!!! the commentators were saying "murray was taking control in the fight and that mitchell looks uncomfortable". the post i left saying "mitchells tactics were to sit back and let murray blow himself out" was actually after the second rnd.
the idea wasnt to let murray punch himself out. he lost heart down to mitchell being so quick on his toes and stinging him. the first two rounds murray wanted to get up close and spoil. if mitchells tactics where to let him punch himself out he would have let him rather than moving about on his toes. there was a time in the fight when mitchell thought about it but his corner soon put him right. you where wrong.
mitchell could of stood in the cenytre of the ring more and poundede him earlier but he needed to let murray come on to him so he felt like he was having it his way.
you saw what happened when mitchell traded off with murray. mitchell got hurt and if mitchell had stuck to those tactics he would almost surely have lost. he needed to keep on his toes precisely so murray DIDNT feel he had it his own way. murray lost his heart in that fight and the more he did, the classier mitchell was.
Mitchell always sits on the rope for a bit while he fails at shoulder roll. His main problem there is he doesn't maintain good vision of his opponent. Murray didn't wear himself out, Mitchell wore him down!
