    I've got to admit i was really impressed by Kevin's fitness - I didn't think he'd be able to keep up the franetic movement beyond the first 5 rounds.

    Good job Kev! Now take on Murray.

    Murray won't go anywhere near Mitchell...Kevin is not close to retiring, and his KO % is above 20%

    Was a decent performance - hats off. Prescott is one dimensional and hopeless on the inside - if you get inside his jab he can't hit you.

    Why all the calls for Murray next, why fight an eliminator for WBO then go domestic for a domestic fight. Katsidis as a final eliminator or for vacant title if JMM vacates to fight Hatton.

    I've liked Mitchell since the first time ive seen him, hes a decent fighter, he'll get beat when he steps up to World Level because he'll always operate in a deep division but hes good .... For the record i think Frankie Gavin has tremendous potential, James Degale is an absolute fraud who will be exposed badly sooner or later ....

    The only way prescott was in the fight until the end, was the fact he was taking wild uncultured swings in desperate hope in the end that something might connect.
    It was a good disciplined performance that kev should be proud off. He gave away power, height, and reach to prescott, and used his brain.
    In most other countries, i am sure that this level of tactical thinking, and composure, would be praised.
    Prescott is obviously a dangerous guy, but as much as he looked a forlorn figure, i feel this was because kev took away his weapons in the end

    well i take my hat off to kevin mitchell,he took a fight most people thought he would loose.he took on a very dangerous puncher ,his fitness and movement and his fight plan are not just a credit to himself but his trainers ,he was terrific and brave,he did everything his trainers had planned for the fight and more,i think burns would be glad this morning he didnt meet this kevin mitchell last night,mitchell seems also to have kept his power at lightweight and what a chin he has,well done kevin mitchell it was a pleasure to watch,the best bit of boxing ive seen in years.

    I doubted Mitchell he proved me wromng. Nuff Respect, he put on a masterclass. Topman. I think Jimmy Tibbs has helped as well though, top top class old school trainer. His previous trainer cook had him fighting like a brawler, getting hit at will!

    :-( Great advice fella:nut
    Thought Jimmy,Mark and Kev worked it to perfection.
    Cant see Murray being to keen on a Mitchell fight on that performance.
