    Think he's enjoying his Pie and Mash tonight at home?

    Good performance, no chance of Khan vs Prescott 2 now IMO.

    He gave a fantastic performance. Earned his pie and mash, hope he puts extra liquor on it.

    Superb performance. He proved me wrong and I don't mind admitting it.

    Me too. I thought he was going to leave his chin too exposed and get stopped later from accumulation. Never came close to happening, as it turned out.

    Yup, wanna see Mitchell vs Murray, Good domestic matchup after Murray vs Mezzache where Murray will prob get the Euro title, even though I want him to lose. Good game plan from Mitchell's team, took some shots as well.

    Yep, he was great and I was wrong about how he's fare in this fight at 135. I can't believe he was so disciplined and it shows how serious he obviously is about moving up a level. Hopefully he'll get Murray next and then the winner will fight Katsidis:happy.

    I've liked Kev since he had that terrific fight with Carl Johannson. Really brave, good movement, decent puncher, fast hands. He showed some versatility there tonight. That was an excellent performance. Prescott's nothing special, but if you can't beat guys like him you're unlikely to do much in the game.

    I still think that Amir's going to be found wanting when he's up against another hard punching guy who can box enough and time him.

    great discipline from mitchell tonight,a classy performance and great game plan.you could see him slip focus for a second or two in the later rounds,but now apparently mature enough to get straight back to business-a job well done..:good

    Great performance.
    But I think the commentators were going a bit overboard with the way they were describing things.
    I think Prescott was in the fight almost all the way. It was clear enough win for Mitchell, but not as wide as the judges and Jim Watt had it. I thought Mitchell dropped 4 rounds at least.

    It was far from a great performance. I think the cards were too wide. He never let his hands go.

    It was a Haye v Valuev performance and the win is good but the performance average at best. Like Haye, he showed if he let his hands go he could hurt his guy.

    He should have killed his body to slow him down. If you are going to move, at least move behind a good jab.

    He did show on a couple of occassions that his chin looks solid.
